Snoopy #56

Also here is an interview snippet which I thought was interesting. I've never thought much about what his creative process might have been like. Also, I didn't realise that the panels he drew on were so much larger than what ended up in print. I mean, it makes sense, but I guess I always just assumed he drew up the squares exactly the way they looked in the end.

#peanuts #snoopy #art #56 #charles m schulz #no he's not 102 today. he died in 2000 -- one day before the final Peanuts strip was printed #hmm not the hugest fan of how this turned out but it's quantity over quality here at onesnoopyaday dot tumblr dot com #this didn't take as long as i thought it would #probably because of how imprecise everything is #like the more i look at it the less this looks like the reference LOL WHOOPS #also re: the interview snippet... i was not expecting to resonate so much with what he said about having just the right skills #to be a cartoonist. bc i'm not the best artist or the best writer either but i can still draw and i can still write #i guess it's kinda validating to have this in common with someone whose work i have loved for a very long time #also for anyone still reading this far down in the tags: the window in the background is transparent!#so u could in theory put this over whatever you want! i'm sending schulz to outer space next :D #ah the perks of being too lazy to draw shrubbery in the bg
