I just wanted to say congrats on the blog. I remember drawing from those books when I was a kid. That's how I learned animation and how to draw. Your lessons are really neat and I look forward to referring some of my students to this page. I am an art teacher now and I am always looking for ways to help my students. This is great, keep up the nice work.
Thank you SO MUCH!! I've always wanted to learn how to draw these "screwball" charactes like Screwy Squirell and Bugs Bunny. I'll keep using these.
I've posted lesson 4 on my site. I would love it if anyone could give me any feedback, especially Stephen. This sure has been a lot of fun so far!
