I'm a big advocate of sketching and doodling. I never really know what's going to happen as I put the pencil down. I don't ever plan out what I'm going to draw, I just take direction from how the first few lines come out. Cartoons and illustrations are something that I've always loved. Even when I was a little kid, my mom would always tell people that I was going to be a cartoonist for Disney (ha!). The weird thing is, I've only done a hand full of finished, rendered illustrations. I get a lot of satisfaction out of seeing the final product and comparing it back to the original, hand drawn sketch. I'm definitely going to try to make more time to practice rendering my illustrations.
Anyways, this is one cartoon that I always came back to as I flipped through my sketch book. I decided to give this guy a proper life in vector form.
