I Drew Owls, and My Theory on Contrasted and Generic Characters

These are what I would like critiqued. And depending on what everybody say's I'll do some more owls, or some more practices.

On this first one I imagine as if he were interviewing a mouse for his eligibility as a good meal. I really like it but I'm conflicted on whether I should draw him again to make it look like he's just standing.

Sorry, on this I kinda ran out of space. So, is there anything I need? Cause I guarantee I'll do more Preston Blair drawings, I really enjoyed these ones and the practice pictures too.


I'd like to learn as much as I possibly could so that I'll be a good painter, And I'd like to do it right, and real fast so I can practice my guitar too! I'd enjoy being somebody who can paint and play so I don't only "Impress" people I know.



Now this second half is my opinion on what makes generic. For real, and I would also like if everybody pitched in and corrected me where I'm wrong.
Proportions on a bulldog gives them a ting more appeal as something unusual, than if they are a normally proportioned and you see them whenever you go out for a walk. Spike doesn't have as many contrasts in proportion as the other bulldog, everything on him is big. Big head, big chest big butt and feet, He's a typical big guy with evened out parts. The second dog on the other hand is more contrasted in design, his jaw is twice as big as is head so it looks smaller than it really is. his upper body is big while his lower body is tiny in comparison making him a tad less realistic and placing some distance between him and Spike. Also he bounds onto the absurd, so you kinda wonder how he holds his body up. He also looks funnier so I guess if Spike always had these proportions he'd be goofier as a result.



He really reminds me of Milt Gross, who I really want to study, but not right now.

That's all and This last drawing was supposed to be somebody, but I think everybody should try and guess so that I can see if I got her features right.
