Day 47

I've been thinking a lot lately about some of the old cartoons that I watched as a kid. One thing that I always thought was funny was the way a giant skinny lump would immediately form on someone's (or something's) head after getting whacked with a hammer, an anvil, or any number of other heavy objects! And so, I thought it would be fun to make something with that theme.

While I love the final product of animated images, I really am drawn to the process of how they're made as well. (Punk kind of intended...) I really enjoy seeing the more spontaneous, lighter sketchy lines that are covered by thicker darker lines in the preliminary drawings. I tried to emulate that effect with this portrait by using very little eraser.
