Early Fan Art

October 5th, 2015 · 5 Comments

This early drawing of Popeye and Bluto shows remarkably little skill. I failed to capture many essential characteristics of the characters. I even left off Bluto’s beard. I think that’s Bluto. It’s undated; I can only hope that I drew it when I was five, not fifteen. I still like Popeye. Maybe I should try again.

POPEYE

    I did get the arms right. The arms are very important. Maybe I will try again, but I might wait until I’m a little older.

    The anchor is actually quite good.

    But I particularly like the paper it’s on. Have any spare sheets?

    No, but the back is blank.
