Description
Depicted here is the cast from the Count Duckula cartoon; Count Duckula himself, his manservant Igor, and the housekeeper Nanny.
Count Duckula was a spin off show to the Danger Mouse Cartoon in which Duckula made his first appearance as an evil vampire searching for fame.
When Count Duckula got his own show he retained his desire for fame and fortune but was turned into a more mild mannered vegetarian vampire who could be egotistical and cowardly but in general tried to be kind and helpful.

The result of his vegetarianism was a botched resurrection ritual during which blood was accidentally replaced with ketchup by the dimwitted Nanny, the result being the current Count Duckula who is the least interested in continuing the tradition of his forefathers and more interested in adventure and fun, much to the disappointment of Igor who still tries to make his master into the vampire that he was when he was his father (it is complicated, basically each Duckula is sort of a reincarnation of the previous Duckula but with their own personality and goals) in order to bring back 'the good old days'.
Using the teleportation mechanism in his castle that could take it anywhere in the world Duckula and his servants traveled to various countries where the count sought to pursue careers like cowboy, gold miner, private eye, explorer, and archaeologist.
The castle could even bring him to the moon and take him into the fictional world of a movie.

Duckula's main 'nemesis' is the Dr van Hellsing inspired Dr von Goosewing, self proclaimed 'world greatest vampire hunter', but to consider him a true enemy would be an overstatement as the good doctor has the tendency not to recognize Count Duckula from time to time when he meets him in person, or other vampires for that matter if he doesn't have his own invented vampire detector with him.
Next to a vampire hunter the doctor is also an inventor but his inventions often don't work as they should or somehow are turned against Dr Von Goosewing, making him the victim of his own genius.
Creations include an invisibility ray that when broken down switched body parts of its targets (including parts of the machine itself though does not affect anyone's biology), a shrinking ray, a carpet cleaner and shampoo that when accidentally ingested turns the user into the opposite of their personality (in Goosewing's case it made him a bloodthirsty vampire), and a vampire seeking missile stake that malfunctioned and instead went for the doctor.

Count Duckula is considered a British animated classic for both children and adults and is considered by some to be even better than the show it is spun off from because of the focus on more verbal humor.

I drew this as part of my study in drawing, using the same drawing method as before; tracing the original and then put it in a grid which I copied to a new sheet of paper.

Sadly a mishap happened this Friday. I had been taking this drawing with me from drawing course studio to home to work on it and back to the studio and had been really careful not to fold it.
I had finished going over the pencil lines with a fine liner today and had taken the drawing back home with me when I accidentally folded it.

I find this very frustrating as I wanted to paint and color the drawing in the future.
