Description
It's been at least 20 years since the show Animaniacs has ended. Because it's been so long, the Warners now are taking their first steps to catch up with the times to prepare for their reboot.I had this particular idea floating around as a rough sketch in my book for a couple of months. I finally got around to going through with it.
I had been wanting to do another group shot for the longest, but couldn't decide on how to do it. I was considering on having the entire cast, but I figured 7 faces was probably enough.
I love how well this turned out! Looking at it now, I probably should have used more reference pictures when drawing these guys. Nurse still looks a tad off for me. Plus, I didn't realize I'd slimmed down Plotz and gave the Warners a growth spurt. LOL! Then again people don't always look the same after 20 years.
This was done using ink and colored pencils.

Hello, good day, I'm from ProjectComment .Β
I havenβt seen this show for quite a while now, and I have to say your drawings look spot on to the characters without comparing them to the actual art. They all seem to be in order, and despite them being taller than they should be, I think they fit in well with the positioning you have going on here. I do like how you shaded them with the color pencils. The shading has a very nice soft touch to it and is very subtle going from shade to mid-tone to highlight.
I like how youβve kept things in character, with the self-made Selfie stick taking a photo using a disposable camera. I also like the expression of the boss character that doesnβt seem to be smiling at all in this. Seems well since heβs at the bottom center.
If I could add anything it would be that maybe add in some warmer colors to help with the shading on some of the characters, although the shadows look fine at the moment. I especially like the blue and grey brown beneath their feet.
There is one thing thought that seems to bother me a bit and that is the placement of the water mark. I feel it should be at the bottom by their feet or near the shadow of some sort. Doesnβt look good over the entire image though, especially on the drawn parts since youβve already signed it.
Overall though I do like this one particular drawing. The characters look natural in here, and they donβt seem out of character or stiff. I like the wackiness of the Selfie stick, and the overall shading of them looks great on the eye- especially that ink outline, well done.Β
Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the well written review! I agree that I could done a better placement for the watermark. I'll keep that in mind for the future.

Hello from ProjectComment
The shading and coloration are definitely my two best highlights of this piece here. The smooth lighting effect created by the way the colors on the characters shifts from dark to light gives the characters a sense of realism to go with their cartoonish style. The shadows behind and underneath are perfect. I also like how you added thicker and fuller outlines than the details of their bodies to make the individuals stand out and not blend into each other. Positioning the Warners in between the characters with blue outfits like this also helps separate the characters despite them being grouped together. I myself am guilty of doing this a lot, but the character's postures seem a little stiff in this picture. However considering this is the type of picture where your characters are supposed to be on display and they are taking a selfie, it works for it. Overall, its an excellent work of art and I how to see more soon. Keep up the good work.Β

Love to see more traditional art, like how clean this piece is and colors well blended
The style was matched so well to the characters and the smoothness of the coloring makes it so nice to look at. I love the hand-made selfie stick and little tape roll, gives a nice touch of humor

Pretty cool! Honestly, I wish there are more original shows along with the reboots.

So do I, a little more variety from new content wouldn't hurt in my opinion. Besides trying to reboot old shows tend to have mixed results. We'll see how Animaniacs turns out.
Thanks though!

Ahhh, this brings back memories! I used to watch this as a kid, I thought it was so funny

Thanks! For some reason I had opposite reaction to this show. I liked as kid, but began to years later when I understood most of jokes. But I'm glad you liked it! Using coloring pencils can be tricky, but as long as you have steady hand and a good eye it can be fun to work with.
