I never ever draw, but I was bored in class today and I made a sketch of Max that I think turned out to be okay considering I have zero talent and haven't drawn so much as a circle in like 5 years. But guess what, it actually isn't what I wanted him to look like. Originally I wanted to have him squatted over, ready to pounce, but I found no matter how much I tried, I couldn't get it to look right. I couldn't visualize in my head what Max looks like bent over, ready to pounce. So I gave up.
It's hard to see since I don't have a proper scanner and I didn't even bother to properly outline it darkly, but still. And if you look closely you can see some circles and lines I used in a lousy attempt to draw like a pro by drawing lots of 'hands go here, feet go here' etc. reference stuff that I don't understand.
Edit: Sketched another one. It turned out okay...but the ball looks less round than I thought it did now that I look at it....also it took me like an hour. Steve Purcell could draw this in 5 minutes.
