If the character is stunned, do not miss this awe ever, drawing more than one would take up.
get here from the finish to the best of Bill Elder gave a page of Little Annie Fanny (Playboy) and in each subsequent page, onion shells are falling up to the first draft of Kurtzman, to discover that but changed drawing, the intention is exactly the same.
I do not mean the line of intent, as used in animation, is that and is more than that, its overall intent of the character, but also of the table, feeling that is portrayed.
a designer is likely to more or less gifted, tempted the picture and get lost in details or in demonstrating its apparent virtuosity. Moreover, it is likely that lack of talent, the artist fails, with its final design, have complied, albeit subtly distorting, lying, that's what it is, the first intention. Except this first page, the rest are successive drafts of the patient Kurtzman.
