Sketch Of Week: Lady With High Pants

About a year or so ago I was getting really sick of my drawings. I yearned to make my cartooning more lively and creative. So I set out to find a wealth of different influences and to learn some new techniques. This led to me filling my sketchbook with a whole assortment of doodles with the purpose of learning from them and becoming a better cartoonist. If I remember correctly, this was sort of an exercise in drawing the female anatomy and breaking away from the generic attractive female formula. I love how the gesture and facial expression came out and how dorky she looks with her pants hiked up so high.
