Horse Spital

MY FIRST CARICATURE WORK OF 2017, I usually only do a couple of these per year.

This one was another' out-of-the-blue'  commission from an interested party who happily liked my stuff and got in touch.

Detailed and full of incident, which is JUST how I like it!

BELOW:

See how I put these suckers together like a giant jigsaw: it may look a bit daunting to the uninitiated, but it is all about pre-visualization, which I have thankfully never had a problem with.

SEE ALSO BELOW:

Hithero unseen, revealed here is my technique for adding thumbnail pictures and color references as shrunken photos, which are very handy for reference/ accuracy: the way I do it saves me having to open up multiple 'windows' on the image manipulation program.

The only drawback with this cartoon is my dogged insistence on drawing an attractive blonde nurse that looks far too much a similar character in CUDDLES and DIMPLES [DANDY]: Barrie Appleby was the only real master of drawing delightful cartoon' babes' of relatively recent times, and his input has clearly rubbed off on me: I have to change this approach and come up with a female figure more unique than this Bazza-inspired effort here.
