Adultoons [2]
IT HAS TAKEN quite a while for me to get around to exhibiting more in my ADULTOONS series: this is only the second serving, and like many other cartoons this was drawn in original form by me many months ago, probably around Spring 2015.
It is taking me longer and longer to get through my backlog of unseen material: a lot of this stuff I am keen to show but because I keep adding brand new material almost every day to my pile of drawings, the end result of this is that there is a long 'waiting queue' .......I could show new sketches every day of course, but I like to add in some polished stuff---which takes a lot longer-----as in the case seen here------
A SLIGHTLY RUDE drawing, this one, but nothing really unprintable: a lot of the humor is contained in a 'what-will-happen-within-the-Next-Few -Seconds' framework, which is more restrained than showing actual physical contact, which is still tabboo in a lot of cases.
I shamelessly admit to watching films like the vintage RED SHOES or the more modern BLACK SWAN, which all contain great ballet scenes; yes, ballet is quite boring to me as well, but some of those graceful poses are teriffic stuff, and I wanted to put this into a cartoon.
The two good-looking ballet girls framing the plainer girl represent an interesting point as regarding drawing ability: this subject of good-looking 'babes' is one of the toughest assignments to draw in cartooning, without a doubt, and I hope to do a whole thread on this subject on here, through time.
The two attractive gals look a bit like Audrey Hepburn, I am pleased to report...this was not intentional, just a 'happy accident' which you often discover in this game.
Anyway it has been nice to get back to something a wee bit more elaborate.
