FIGURE DRAWING FOR ANIMATION CARTOONISTS

For the kind of model session that Theory Corner cartoonists might like, I'd I like to see a catwalk made of collapsible tables.


The model would walk on that.

If the model was a dancer, even an amateur dancer, that would be great. 


Of course the catwalk makes possible a dance that's also a walk. I see the individual poses as lasting no more than three or four minutes. I kinda like the idea of overlapping some of the drawings to get the effect you see above.


A catwalk makes it easier to do funny walks and eccentric dancing.


There's no end of funny walks.


Some walks and dances look better when more than one dancer does them. No problem. You just sketch in the clones after class.


Two models can become eight, as in this dance of Fosse's: The Rich Man's Frug."


Or one man becomes three. The choreography for a session like this could be improvised or planned. Me, I'd love to think of moves  for sidemen to do.

Poses involving animals like horses are no problem. You draw the model-driven rider poses then add the cartoony horses later. 


Or the cow.


If you had two models doing different walks at the same time you could combine the drawings in a sort of collage.


Remember to bring some tape.
