Cartooning – 100 Pictograms

I’m doing the lessons in Ivan Brunetti’s wonderful book, Cartooning.  Last year I saw a cover Brunutti created for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and I was hooked on his simple but highly expressive style.

This is exercise 1.3 which asks you to create 100 quick sketches based on whatever work or idea pops in your head spending no more than 5 seconds per drawing. Coming up with 100 drawings, even based on my stream of consciousness was a lot harder than I expected partly because I only drew things I thought I could draw competently.

Here’s the original:

And I used Photoshop to get the checkerboard effect which I think is really cool. (The book doesn’t encourage the use of the computer at the beginning but I liked Brunetti’s grid so much I had to try it).
