Santa Claus and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Cartoon. “Cheers Old Friend!”
Here is another video of me drawing a quick sketch and coloring it in Autodesk SketchBook Pro software. I am using a Wacom Cintiq digital tablet screen on this one.
A wonderful tool which I can wholeheartedly recommend to any professional illustrator, graphic designer or cartoonist.
I made occasional cuts to stay within the 10 minute length limit imposed by YouTube so the drawing jumps along miraculously a few times, but I hope the steps I took are still clear.
As always I am posting the finished drawing below. I hope you enjoy the video.
Digital Cartoon drawing created in SketchBook Pro. Watch a video on YouTube of the actual drawing being created in realtime.
In today’s episode it is only Ashley telling me what to draw as Joanna was out playing with her friends.
We are drawing two things – one a sunny side up egg with a top hat doing a little dance number, and secondly a fuzzy monkey riding a purple flying banana. There were some unexpected interruptions by two- and four-legged friends and neighbors and a parade of characters walked through my studio as we were trying to maintain our usual Fellini-esque production standards, therefore 30 seconds from the middle of the video have been left on the cutting room floor, to safeguard the esteemed viewers sanity.

Toonpool is a website (or might even be called on-line community) where you can upload your own cartoons if you are an artist yourself or just give ratings, leave comments and communicate with other artists. All of this is completely free of course.
I posted a bunch of my cartoons on there a few days ago and I have already met some very interesting people, rediscovered some artists that I had already admired such as Jiri Sliva as well as many new ones.
