Here's some models sheets and animation drawings from Tex Avery's "Screwball Squirrel". This is probably one of my favorite cartoons of all time and Screwy's one of the funniest characters. I was dumbfounded when I read that Tex didn't think he was funny, talk about a perfectionist, sheesh. I prefer this earlier design over the one in the later shorts like "Lonesome Lenny", though he does look a little screwier in those other shorts. I can't think of another character who takes such delight in pounding the hell out of his adversary as much as Screwy, he's a little over the top but that what I like about him.
Wow, as usual, some really amazing drawings here :) And I really love looking at these model sheets... Speaking of which, some of the third one looks familiar :D Of course it's awesome to see the original model sheet for that Preston Blair page.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you get these model sheets, but thank you for posting them :)
And something about Screwy with that paintbrush is particularly appealing... good line of action maybe?
Hi Brett, these are just from different books and some of the animation drawings I just downloaded whenever I came across them online.
ReplyDeleteThat drawing of Screwy with paintbrush has a very nice line of action. I'm rather fond of the phone booth drawings. Tons of personality in those drawings.
