Back-handed Hoof Slap

A rough line test of the muzzle-sync assignment. Its changed a bit from the storyboard: he no longer grabs the chicken. This makes my life easier since I dont gotta draw 2 characters moving around at the same time, and lets Crunchy the Pig use both his hands to emote.

Lozzi Lessons

After reading Hanna Barbara background painter Art Lozzi's color theory and technique tips on John K's blog I had to try some out for myself. I'll be the first to admit this is about 1000 times more busy than any HB background, I went overboard with the textures when I found out how to make my own brushes in photoshop. But it was a cool experiment, and I cant wait to do more like this.
