I know, I know, we already wrapped up the Saturday Morning Cartoon theme. But just like Freakazoid, I'm unpredictable!

Freakazoid was a short lived cartoon around that came on between Earthworm Jim and Road Rovers! Now that was an awesome cartoon lineup! He couldn't fly so he would just raise his arms in the air and make swooshing sounds. This drawing isn't as goonish as the cartoon, but I tried to draw it from memory.

Hope you enjoy!!

Even though I’m more of a Transformers and He-man fan, the GI Joe theme seemed like fun. It took me a good while to actually decide what to create. When I stumbled upon a drawing app for my iPhone, Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile, I thought it would be a fun challenge to create my entry entirely on my phone. I’ve always been a fan of the Bruce Timm style Batman and Justice League cartoons, so what I create would attempt to put a GI Joe character into that style. Lastly, I needed a character with some color so Scarlett fit the bill.

Here’s a few work in progress shots. I started by creating a rough sketch of the pose on my phone. Then I grayed out the sketch and on a new layer I traced over it with a weighted brush. I made the lines around the face bolder to draw the viewers eyes to that point. I made the pose a little more playful by giving her a finger pistol. The color was a bit of a challenge, because even though I draw pretty often, I never color anything.

 
Well, I hope you like it. And stay tuned for more G. I. Joe action!
