Description

edit: slightly new background.

Cats Don't Dance is pretty high up on my favorite movies list. I think it's like... #3, and that's for good reason.
Out of all the characters in Cats Don't Dance, Sawyer is the most streamlined in terms of design. Her shape construction is such that everything is a big swooping curve, especially her arms and legs. And unlike what I've said about the other portraits I've uploaded, I think I should draw Sawyer in much the same was as she was drawn in the film, every time I draw her; because she wouldn't quite be her without those swooping lines and curved forms. I also chose to leave this portrait shade-less, to see how a drawing of mine would look without it, and I think I'll have to experiment with this further. Because without shading, the character relies much more heavily on the color scheme making the character clearly readable and visually pop without needing the shading to separate them from their environment and other characters. I think I use shading as a crutch more than I should, so you may see more shade-less pieces in the future.
