I would love to work for The Beano and Dandy:)

Brain Duane from the Dandy...the character belongs to DC Thomson copyright









Biffo the Bear The Beano the character belongs to DC Thomson copyright



Drawing Brain Duane (from The Dandy) was not easy...But I learnt a lot doing it...Tom Patersons drawing style is very diffcult to do...he must spend a lot of time...I learnt a lot at drawing hands...
I recommend drawing peoples other comic styles and making up a new story to go with it...even if it goes wrong at least you can soon find out how much effort goes into these drawings by these artists

I like my Biffo cartoon...hes a great character you can do anything with...

I'm not associated with DC Thomson....But boy I wish I was.I've often dreamed I was at the Beano office meeting the artists...

Cheeky -Creepy Sleepy Tale/Lily Pop poster











Creepy Sleepy Tale was the story which Cheeky read to Baby Burpo...
The book was mean't to scare the terrible toddler...though it only scared Cheeky...

Its concept could be from the Monster Fun Badtime Bedtime stories from Leo Baxendale
Check out this great website to see more from Chris Tolworthy
http://www.enterthestory.com/badtime_checklist.html

As an adult Lily Pop is a good reason to collect Cheeky.....I've a poster up of her in my comic room...copied from the comic...enjoy it here...:)
