I did it, I did it, I got my Week 9 Cartoon Craziness Challenge drawing done. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to draw, as in, there were a lot of things I gave long consideration to and then realised they were too hard to draw, said feck dat and gave up. After a few more days of chewing on the end of a pencil and listening to my brain cells debating, I got out my sketch book, grabbed a pen and sat down to let my hands take over. I drew Willy Wonka. It’s ok to say WTF, cos I did, several times!
He’s not my favourite fictional character but for some reason it was decided that he would be the character that I drew for this challenge. In my head I always imagined him to be more kindly and a little less creepy that the versions portrayed by Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp, but I am ashamed to say I have never read the book, well not that I can remember anyway, so they could have been totally accurate.
The other fictional character I did try to draw was the one and only May Dupp, but she turned out to be all mouth, which to be fair it pretty accurate, but makes for a pretty rubbish drawing. There was no way I was ever going to be able to top the amazing work already done by Bitstrips, so I let that one go.
I’ve been giving serious consideration as to what to do about this challenge and asked Mama what she thought too. Everyone seems to be so busy right now, myself included and I wouldn’t want anyone to feel pressured into having to doodle, but if there are only going to be entries from myself and Mama then there is no point in running it as a challenge. I’ll have a sleep on it and see what I think. Sometimes these things just run their course, that’s what Mama said and perhaps she is right, it has been fun.
Till next time :)

Great drawing. I wish I could draw. As for the wondering what to do with the challenge well you know how I have the Cosmic Musicology challenge. It used to be weekly but I can’t commit to that so I just do it whenever now. Works for me, it’s not dead – it just sleeps a lot. If other people play, great. If not, it keeps me occupied for a little while. Don’t let c3 die…let it sleep.

I like the idea of letting it sleep, that seems a lot less final than just stopping altogether. I miss the cosmic Musicology challenge tho :( lol

Well, I like your Willy Wonka anyway! Please keep up with the amusing drawings even if the challenge isn’t going to keep on going…I would miss your drawings…(I would take up the challenge myself except….yeah, I don’t draw at all. I mean even a little. Even my dogs are stick figures – and even then the lines aren’t straight!)

lol Any doodle, whether it be stick doodle or not is fun, you shouldn’t let that put you off.
I’ll see how it goes, I like doing the drawings so hopefully I would keep it up.

Your Wonka is wonkalicious. :) I wish my dragon was done, but, well, Life. I’ll keep working on him.
I do like Steve’s idea of letting this sleep a bit and not necessarily doing it every week.

Yeah me too, takes the pressure off just a little. Might let is sleep for a couple of weeks like he said and then throw the odd one in now and then :)
