Even if I didn't know you drew these, I would know that someone with strong traditional skills did them.<br /><br />Although there is definite overlap between the two, I can vouch for you that painterly skills and cartooning skills are strikingly independent of each other. For example, a cartoon doesn't have to have abstract shadow shapes, subtle temperature shifts, or a balance of lost and sharp edges. A painting doesn't have to have readily identifiable objects or the pronounced, unambiguous expressiveness of a cartoon.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750266313158746341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510849285017183201.post-53926313297264775212009-10-28T16:52:10.815-07:002009-10-28T16:52:10.815-07:00These are great!

I then try to explain how far removed from plein air painting my illustration work is and that I started where everybody else did. I have the tons of bad paintings here to prove it.Kevin Menckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08384683939643882594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510849285017183201.post-69241767106521499502009-10-27T06:25:41.779-07:002009-10-27T06:25:41.779-07:00Kevin- Nice drawings!

After I was laid off from my 30-year job as editorial cartoonist for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, people continue to ask me if I'm still drawing editorial cartoons, and if so, where can they see them. When I tell them, "No, I'm pursuing a new career as a painter," they give me this blank look like, "What? Are you nuts? You can't make a living as a painter!" . . . Of course, I used to get the same looks from people when I told them I was trying to become a cartoonist.Gary Brookinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05426348900643505216noreply@blogger.com
