Hanna-Barbera Inspiration

Hanna-Barbera has been, i'd say the major influence in my life to date. From the day i can remember i based my life around Cartoon Networks schedule. Shows like Wacky Races, Top Cat, Tom and Jerry, The Smurfs, Scoobie-Doo, Charlotte's Webb, The Flintstones, and so many more.. It was what I lived for!
I'd be up before school watching whichever cartoon was on at the time, leave for school, come back and watch it until i had to go to bed. It still brings out the child in me.

As a student studying their creations, I can really appreciate and admire the quality and high standards of work William Hanna and Joseph Barbera bought to our televisions. Even with todays softwares and realistic looking characters, i still find the simple drawings and tones much more enjoyable to watch and recreate.

I feel i can take Hanna and Barbera's work and incorporate it's style two-tonned drawings and base my character on the type of character they may have come up with if I'd given them the task of drawing up my character sheet.
