Calamity Ensues

You know how when you see someone else drawing in a sketchbook or something that sparks your interest, it’s next to impossible not to doodle?  Well, that link I reblogged earlier today got me wondering how I might have approached that scene.  Since I used to play goalie, I thought it might’ve been cool to have him leap and catch the falling guy like a goalie leaps to stop a goal.  Anyway, here are the sketches that sprang from that idea.  Btw, if you haven’t done an exercise like this-rethinking someone else’s choices, I recommend doing it for fun.  The more you realize how much better the other artist is, the more you realize how much there is yet to learn…Of course, if it had been animated as these thumbnails suggest, I could have shaved a few minutes off the run time.  He would have burst right in to Bon Voyage, cutting out the scene where he realized someone else was in the building.  And, Buddy would have entered differently too.  I would have ruined a key moment in the film! -Waveybrain

This is actually a really great idea. I’m going to have to try it myself!
