First weekday sketch - a Chris Sanders study (Patreon)

It's the first Monday of 2022 and I wanted this year to provide a little something extra for our Panama Hat tier patrons, so I will be posting my weekday sketches every weekday.

That's roughly 20 sketches a month!

I'll also make some comments and critique for those interested.

This first one is inspired by Chris Sanders' work. He's done a lot with Disney, most notably, Lilo and Stitch!

You can find some of his sketchbooks online but since they're out of print and being resold, they're pretty expensive. Well I finally got my hands on one and wanted to make a pass at his cover drawing.

It's tough. He draws eyes very diagonally and they look great in his work but seem off in mine. I also think I made the neck too thick.

The pose in general though, is interesting. That foreshortened leg is tough to pull and I think mine at least isn't horrifying. I'm sure something like that will eventually creep into a pose in Make Your Parents Proud.

Stay excited!
