RainDroppin'

YET ANOTHER 'new' DIVERSION and further proof I can adapt at will to most forms of cartooning if I really set my mind to it, 

---this one was a competition I won to design story-book characters for a kids' fiction book.

AGAIN, I am fairly happy to draw this sort of thing, just so long as I am allowed to draw the way I want without having to consult existing imagery [I usually turn these down unless I really need to pay the bills!] : the customer said my rough drafts showed more 'life' and imagination than other, more computer-generated submissions for the task 


[IMPORTANT:   I generate a fair bit of work simply by showing very quick pen-on-paper sketches, and that was the case here]


Nice simplistic stuff, and it is often more of an actual challenge to put over effective characterization within the confines of deliberately fewer lines.



I ADMIT I AM ONE OF THOSE CARTOONISTS WHO TRIES TO IMPRESS WITH DRAWING TECHNIQUE ALONE: however there is a helluva lot to be said for straightforwards simplicity, like these examples.



NICE ASSIGNMENT, more on this later


This is RONALD RAINDROP, as concieved by a customer and envisionaged by me.
