Doodle cats and hot dogs

I've been working on some more illustrations for fun :) I polished up some of the drawings from my sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project. I think its pretty neat to give an old drawing a second chance.



This is what the finished illustration looks like:


And here is the sketch:

(Can you find the cats that I used?)

I colored some dogs too... hot dogs!


I picked the dachshund because the blank eyes were so hilarious to me. And below is the sketch:


Here's an image that I drew back in 2006:

I don't like a lot of my old artwork but I still like this one. Its one of the first images that I worked on where I really started to develop my style. I remember that this drawing took forever to do (and its still not finished!). The tiger has so many harsh angles (Maybe I should re-do this drawing too...). This drawing had so many obstacles because of my learning curve for Flash and also the equipment I was using was inferior to the equipment I have now. I persevered and just a few years later I'm ten times faster! The two new drawings were made in under an hour! I wouldn't have believed that this was possible back then. I think this is why its important to keep sketchbooks and old work. They track your progress and the feeling of accomplishment is priceless.
