Bear with me

 Alright, please don’t laugh. I hated the final result too, and believe me, I had over a week to put this mess together. Sure, the random draw of scene elements didn’t help, but the deadline was looming, and I had to turn in something. Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo are part of that group of cartoons I absolutely despised as a kid. They’re right up there with Top Cat, Jabberjaw, and Captain Caveman. Top Cat was way too slick for my taste, Jabberjaw’s laugh and goofy voice drove me nuts, and Captain Caveman felt completely out of place in his own show. That furry ball of chaos made zero sense to me. This piece.. I swear I’ll revisit and redo someday... I want to crank up the distortion, make the background scream Plaza Murillo vibes, and actually finish those darn bears. On the bright side, I’m kinda stoked that their visual identity is so strong you can still tell who they are, even in this half-baked state...

Cheer up buddy


Finally, we’ve reached the first illustration after getting the blog fully set up. Eeyore, the first chosen theme.
In this sketch, I tried to capture all the vibe and energy this character radiates.
Winnie the Pooh holds a lot of sentimental value at home. My brother, from the time he was born until he was about four, always had a really hard time sleeping. So, to calm the little wild one down, we’d all watch a mini-marathon of Winnie the Pooh on VHS...
Speaking of VHS, another one of the little guy’s favorites was TOY STORY. That one got watched multiple times a day. Everyone at home knew all the lines by heart, and his favorite was 'Shut up! Just shut up, you idiot!' lol, so cute.
What about you? What movie did you watch as a kid to the point of memorizing all the lines?
