August 21st, 1010 - Pencil Drawing before Ink and Color.

by Rob Smith, Jr. on Aug.21, 2010, under Cartooning

2010-0821-pencilworkHere is the pencil drawing before I ink. You might notice I started to ink with the caption box and the eyes. It’s been a while since I posted art in the process and thought I’d do it with this gag cartoon I’m working on right now.

July 17th, 2010 - Hey! Hey! It’s the Monkees!!!

by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jul.17, 2010, under What's New?

I ran across ‘The Monkees Go Mod’ while perusing a bookstore and I thought I’d share a couple pages of cartoon artwork from the 1967 book. Both are drawn by Dick Hodgins, Jr. If the style has a Dennis the Menace type look, that’s because Hodgins was an assistant to Hank Ketcham drawing Ketcham’s strip ‘Half Hitch’ and helping with the Dennis strip.

Hodgins’ dad was also a cartoonist. For years he was staff cartoonist for The Orlando Sentinel in Orlando, Florida. While at the Sentinel he drew a history of Orlando comic strip and a ton of other art. Later Hodgins, Sr. joined his friend Jim Ivey at Jim’s ‘The Cartoon Museum’ to teach cartooning classes. I was one of the lucky ones to take one of those classes. I’ll have to post some Hodgins, Sr. art sometime.
