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...

Iwas lucky enough to meet 3 of the DCT editors;----these were IAN GRAY [prolific 'BEANO' writer, and inspiration behind 'GNASHER', also 'PLUG' editor; he sadly died around 6 months ago.
'DANDY' editor then was DAVEY TORRIE, who edited the comic, circa 1982-86 [he was instrumental in bringing K.H.HARRISON to the DAN drawing board]-----I also remember his successor, MORRIS HEGGIE, who gave me a try-out on 'PEPPER STREET' around 1985-----I didn't get it!
around SUMMER 1984, a cheery, portly gent walked in to the office with his zipped case of artwork: I never knew him from ADAM: it turned out to be no less than JOHN GEERING, ---one of my most favourite artists ever: this was the only time I ever met him: he was courteous, amusing [on about his time as a bit-part 'CORONATION ST.artist: 'I was ANNIE WALKER!'------]and polite.
