Bob Camp's Notes

Here's some notes by Bob Camp. I thought these are from a lecture Bob gave at the School of Visual Arts (thanks Steve) Note the Kurztman reference of page six, I've already posted a Hey Look! comic and it's a good example of line of action in drawings. Anyone know what became of Bob after his time at Games studios? He did direct some good cartoons at Spumco. Check out Bob's cool blog.

More Kurtzman

Here's some more great Harvey Kurtzman comics.

Sheldon by Kurtzman

Here's a couple of funny one page comics from Harvey Kurtzman. These were originally published sometime in the 40's.

Officer Pooch

While I was uploading the pencil test in my previous post I figured it's been a while since I posted a cartoon so I decided to upload Hanna Barbera's 1941 short Officer Pooch.

Goober Pencil Test

Here's a pencil test from a scene I'm currently working on. I've still got a lot more work to do on it though.

Some Sketches

Enough of those great Warner Bros. model sheets, it's time to scrape the bottom of the barrel with some of my drawings. Here's some sketches of Bruno, one of the bees that lays an ass whoopin' on Goober. I'm still working on improving this character design though I think he may be easier to animate this way. He's pretty simple to draw.

I'll be scanning some more WB model sheets real soon. The next batch will be of Warner's minor characters.

Daffy Duck Model Sheets

Here's some Daffy model sheets. As a kid Daffy and Bugs were my favorite characters, they still are but I really have little interest in the cartoons from the mid to late 50's. I mean how horrible was the pairing of Daffy and Speedy Gonzalez? Somewhere along the line Daffy was ruined and turned into a jerk. There's still some funny moments but I prefer Daffy when he was... well, daffy. My favorite Daffy cartoons are "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" and "Yankee Doodle Daffy", they're hilarious.

Clampett Model Sheets

Here's some model sheets from various Bob Clampett cartoons.

This one's from A Tale Of Two Kitties, one of my favorite Clampett cartoons.

I wish I had a higher resolution picture of this one.

Another one from Gruesome Twosome

Bugs Bunny Model Sheets

Here's some Bugs Bunny model sheets to go along with those Elmer Fudd models. I love the Tex Avery unit's model sheet, though when I think of Bugs I picture Bob McKimson's design used in Clampett's cartoons.

From Egghead To Elmer

I was reading through the comments on one of John K's posts and someone asked if he had any Egghead model sheets. Since no one answered, I figured I'd post them along with some Elmer Fudd models.
