Description Okay, I'll tell you the truth - I've never drawn Bugs before, so these sketches may not portray him perfectly, nor they are true to the official model sheets of this character. But there's also one more thing I have to tell you (and maybe you'll agree with me if you ever sketched Bugs). Bugs is a very difficult character to draw, even though he doesn't seem to be like that! The part which I found the most tricky was his face (let alone hands, but I've always had difficulties with drawing them, so it's not actually the fault of Bugs' design ).

I've also noticed that many animators drew him and still draw him slightly differently. And Bugs nowadays isn't much similar to Bugs from the early 40s (but I guess the same thing is with majority of Looney Tunes characters).

I didn't stick much to the model sheets and as usual tried to incorporate my own style. I hope you like these sketches, though.

More excellent work from you! You are quite right—Bugs is very difficult to draw. Having done this without the benefit of model sheets is really quite an acheivement. Doskonały! ^+^

Well, that's a good point you bring up. The Looney Tunes characters have been around for nearly 90 years at the most, so of course they're going to evolve and change design wise, although by now they seem to be pretty much set in their designs Yeah, everybody loves Bugs; I'm pretty sure he is the first cartoon character 99% of the world would immediately think of (although in America nowadays that might be Homer or Bart Simpson ). You gotta love how snarky and tricky this guy is. He's not afraid to screw around with anybody who messes with him-no matter what race or background they come from. He pretty much made Elmer his whipping boy for years


These sketches look fine I actually have a few old Looney Tunes cartoons on public-domain VHS tapes (Cheap tapes you could find all over the US over the years for which the copyrights expired long ago under our old copyright rules, which included quite a lot of Warner Bros. Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies ones-Warner Bros. and Paramount in particular were not the best at renewing their copyrights back in the day-so now they are free to distribute/view wherever and whenever), one of which features an extremely racist ending where Bugs starts singing "I Wish I Was in Dixie" and he, Elmer, and the Canadian Mounties who are about to execute him all turn into those nasty blackface minstrel stereotypes and start singing "Camptown Races" on a Southern cotton plantation. And yes, I actually have this completely uncensored on tape. I will admit when I was a kid I didn't get at all what was happening and thought they turned into seals rather than really racist portrayals of black people As an adult now, though...ooh boy is that hard to watch I don't approve or agree with those blatantly racist portrayals at all (though I understand, these cartoons are from a different time and are a reflection of the attitudes and what was considered OK in that time period), but it's a genuine piece of uncensored animated history I have on VHS tape-I'm not gonna part with that! Your thoughts on that kind of stuff they used to feature in these cartoons?

These look nice! Bugs is indeed tricky to draw, especially your drawing influence from his appearances during the Bob Clampett cartoons. Each animator tended to have their own quirks in drawing him.

I'm glad that you think so! I'm going to sketch more Looney Tunes characters and I'm curious if there is a character with more tricky design.

I can concur with Bugs not being the easiest to draw Many cartoon characters appear simple enough, but truth be told they're actually very difficult But these are really great studies, you really got his expression and energy down! Just keep at it!

Appearances are deceptive. Among other characters that are still hard for me to draw properly is Mr. Jinks. And he seems to be even easier to draw than Bugs, but I still have to erase him for as long as I'm fully satisfied. Yesterday I found one of my first Pepe sketches and I burst out laughing because of how lame it was. It took me some time to finally figure out his design. Practise is for me the best method of learning how to draw something.

Thank you so much!

I still have difficulty to this day with MANY Hanna-Barbera characters, they seem so simple, but yet their shapes and curves make them seem very odd when you first try to draw them. It looks right in reference, but it looks awful when you draw it I remember Scooby-Doo was my worst enemy to draw for a few years  

Ahh, it's always nice to look back and see how you've improved. I've always told everyone that wants to draw to just start drawing and keep drawing. You can't get any worse, you can only get better

Don't mention it

I haven't drawn Scooby-Doo yet, but this is another idea for a future drawing.

Aisudi In reply to HedgehoVid [2018-11-04 18:39:54 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot! Yes, I kept erasing his face over and over again. That one on the right took me the longest time to draw. That's a bit weird, cause that was the second one I drew. The first one was that one on the left.

Aisudi In reply to LadyWaderetta [2018-11-04 18:34:48 +0000 UTC]

Cieszę się, że tak myślisz. Najtrudniej mi było ogarnąć jego "twarz", żeby choć trochę przypominała oryginał. Zauważyłam, że wiele animatorów chyba też miało z nim trudności, żeby go tak dokładnie odwzorować.
