Toy Drawing 10: How To Draw Porky

BERJAYAIf you are trying to teach yourself classical cartoon construction, this is a gift from on high. From high up the stairs where Mike Fontanelli lives. It's a beautifully sculpted 3 fully dimensional Porky Figure.
BERJAYAGood sculptures of cartoon characters tell you what cartoon shapes really look like in perspective. Note in the 3/4 shot that his cranium is not stacked directly on top of his lower face and jaw. His brain extends behind his jaw.
BERJAYAToys don't generally have a line of action. They need to stand up, so they are usually sculpted around a vertical straight line. This helps you isolate just the construction of the character too.
BERJAYANote where the shadow falls in his eye. That tells you that his eye is sunk into his flesh around the edges and that the part of the eye at the right is farther away, because the shadow indicates we are seeing more of the edge of the sunken eye on that side.
BERJAYALearning to draw something rude in 3 D is especially important to the eager student of animation.

BERJAYAA nice down shot of his impressive braincase.
BERJAYASee how the cheeks and smile work? Together, they form a muscle of flesh that points towards just above the center of his snout (nose).BERJAYA

Now if you get Mike to strip and pose for you, you could also learn the construction of Tex Avery's Spike the bulldog.

Porky and Charlie Dog

BERJAYALots to say about this cartoon. Clampett doesn't get credit for many things he should and it just stupifies me.
BERJAYALike how his cartoons are the most appealing, the cutest - maybe because they're also the wackiest.
BERJAYAHe also created Charlie dog, which Chuck Jones later turned into a series and neglected to ever credit Clampett for it.
BERJAYAMore later, on the drawings...
