Ernie is missing his eyebrows in the top ink below, so watch for details when you draw and don't leave any out.



Here's 2 versions of the same drawing. The second ink caught more of the contrasts in shapes, angles against curves.




















I'll put more layouts and inks up later, but here's just a start.
Did anyone else ink any Slab N Ernies? Send me a link and I'll add 'em...

This is a great post showing what layouts can be considered final, and when layouts need more cleanup. It provides a better 'big picture' view for me to show not only the process, but the level of drawing quality.
My problem is I'm trying to rush and practice each step before I'm ready, especially with inking.
Great looking drawings. Solid, but with plenty of flexibility and fun. I like seeing the inks. They look good but sketches always seem to look better to me, more lively. George Liquor is hilarious.
Hi John,
I did this one, but you already got the one Mitch did.
Further I did Sodies...
Love,

It still amazes me how much free information and useful teachings are on this blog. This blog is like a public service for cartoon nerds!!!
Wow nice. Inking posts! Nice chance to practise it again. More, more.
Argh how could I skipped that eyebrow..
Are you gonna post new layouts to practise?
Dear John,
I'm still not quite sure I understand what layouts are. How are they different from the key frames of animation?
loving this
So, was this cartoon ever finished? If so, where do we see more layout frames for this, besides what's already here? Do we practice based on only what we see here?
Layout was always this abstract concept to me before I read this blog. I would like to be in the layout business, so working off of practice scenes like these (and MORE) would help much.
looks like fun, I'll do one later after work
Pose 1, Sc-8 setup 4.

I love this image, is George stood on his chair seat?
I have a question about the construction in the layouts, and I'll use the very first layout drawing as the basis.
I've noticed that sometimes the construction doesn't always directly mirror the final line, as is the case with the top of George's head and his right cheek.
When this happens, is it because you discover, when you're working on your final line ( the black ) that the drawing would be more appealing to look at if these subtle changes are implemented, or is it simply that you discover that the construction itself is wrong? What makes you determine at that final stage that the initial construction could be altered?
Does that question make sense?

I attempted a layout you posted a while back.
With the layout:

Inks by themselves:

I tried to remember what you had said about line weights and to also maintain the form and construction of the characters.
I've put one inking,
here
I think the lines are a bit thin.
Hey John, Nice layouts there:)...
I was wondering if you'd take a look on a show i'm developing, just by myself...
I know it's tough getting your things out there, but for me personally, it would be awesome if you would take a look at it, and leave a comment or two:)
It's not on my blog, since it's an idea I'm pretty happy about, so if it could be sent to you in a more private kinda way, it would be nice:)

Thanks John!
It's fixed now.
Hey John,
Just tried to draw some inks from this post and then another post.
If you want to take a look, here they are.
