I ran out of hands to copy on page 29 of “Cartoon Animation” so I turned back a few pages and copied heads instead. Original designs are by Preston Blair. Also today I tried drawing some caricatures from “The Rules of the Game” but I don’t like those at all.

These are cute but I’ve got a long way to go.

I’ve been drawing hands out of Preston Blair’s “Cartoon Animation” then critting myself on how well I copy the visual form.

Only in the last week have I realised that a book I’ve had in my possession since 1997 could have taught me so much more if I’d only bothered paying attention to it.

These hands are from page 29.

Meanwhile it’s 10:00pm and my neighbours are still hammering away at metal objects in their open garages. I have strange neighbours.
