Here's another old drawing, this one combining two of my favourite things: 1) drawing big headed people, and 2) Bruce Lee!
Seriously, there was a time when I drew almost everyone super-deformed/bigheaded/3-heads-high! I think it was because it made everyone look so friendly and cartoony. Or maybe it's just because Ihave an gi-normously large head myself. Either way, I still find myself having trouble resisting the urge to make everyone's head just a little bigger in my drawings -- as all my friends will attest!
And it really does make everyone look friendlier! As another example, here's a drawing of everyone's favourite bad-ass mutant, Wolverine, done in my big-headed style. See and judge for yourself...

Well, my daughter (she's five) just now pointed at the Wolverine and laughed, saying, "He's funny! He's so teenie." So I guess it works!

Yes, Bruce Lee! Great picture. Even at three heads high, you captured his essence perfectly.
Love the Bruce Lee.
Hey Michael.
It's been a while since I've stopped by. So much great stuff here. Always a big fan of your inking.
I've got a similar problem...I always draw people's noses too big. I wonder what Freud would say...
Dude,
I love the Bruce Lee! He's so deadly cute! They both are, really!
When you draw Modok is his head 900 times bigger than his body?
:)

Hehe love it! I could hug that Wolverine.
Nice poses on Bruce and Wolverine.
We'll know you coming down the street with your big head!
awesome brick kick
Thanks, everyone! I knew other people would get it!
J: No, when I draw Modok, I just look in the mirror...
Two of my favourite things in the whole world! Cho-big-heads and Wolverine! WOOT!
So how did you achieve the half-tone/dot printing effect on the colors for the Wolvie?
Joyce: Hey Joyce! Great to hear from you. Thanks for stopping by.
chrishaley: The dot-screen is a filter in photoshop: the colour half-tone filter.
