CAD Silhouettes

So the two characters on the left are supposed to be analogues of the two main characters in CAD, in order to illustrate the importance of good silhouettes and varied character structures (which CAD lacks on all accounts). Then I thought for fun I'd draw a girl to add some balance and spontaneity to the otherwise dour composition. Only after coloring did I realize in a twisted way I had drawn an analogue of another character from the comic, who also has red hair that obscurs one eye. I swear that's not what I started off to do!

(it doesn't help my claim for originality when an earlier version of the skinny was character was essentially Jamie from Megas XLR:

D'oh. I feel like Elaine ripping off that Ziggy comic.

Another installation of CAD: Fixed

Nothing inspires me to art like shitty feminine poses.

This is what happens when you scoff at life drawing. I'm not kidding- the original artist, Tim Buckley, has made no secret that he never wanted to draw from life. I'm paraphrasing here, but his stance was essentially, "Why should I draw real people? I want to draw cartoons!"

And that's the result. If you don't know basic anatomy/proportions you have no idea what to exaggerate, and the result is a hideous cavewoman.
