What I Drew Sunday, August 26th – Top 3

Disney was strong with the most liked sketches drawn in Sunday’s session of What Shall I Draw Today?

Here are the top 3:

#1 – DuckTales Cast Exiting the TARDIS: suggestion by @tsfogg

Here I chose to depict the main cast of the 1987 Disney Afternoon animated adventure series to tumble out of the Doctor Who famous TARDIS. I hold nothing against the new, current series, but some followers may have noticed that I tend to reference early if not original character designs for my WSIDT sketches.

In my mind, the suggestion was quite clear and the composition could not vary much from what I drew. Launchpad, being the tallest, naturally got set back and naturally the last of the group to stumble out of the TARDIS. Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby duck-pile on top of frustrated Scrooge McDuck for easy slapstick. Little light-bulb-headed Little Helper was a late addition, because he fits. Well, he kind of fits in most places doesn’t he? That kind of implies that Gyro Gearloose is involved if not nearby.

#2 – Mulan with Lightsaber: suggestion by @noreeneb20

Mulan wears several costumes in the original Disney animated feature film. Because of it’s similarity to something that Obi Wan Kenobi and other Jedi have worn in the Star Wars films, particularly in the infamous prequel trilogy, depicting Mulan in her Ping warrior/ training clothes worked out pretty well.

I then gave her a green bladed saber. It’s kind of her color and it’s a good-guy color in Star Wars.

I wonder what prompted Mulan to power up the lightsaber. Could it be a hun with Darth Maul styled face tattoos?

#3 – Bagheera meeting Black Panther: suggestion by Kinzey

What happens what a black panther meets Black Panther? Respect, an exchange of respect.

Although not explicitly noted, I drew the Disney version of The Jungle Book big cat. This was for expedience and because there wasn’t a compelling reason not to. T’Challa has removed his helmet/mask because all of the Marvel movie heroes seem to keep doing that.

Of course, with one little sketch, I’m not writing a whole story and much less a novel. I do like to at least imply some storytelling. A lot is suggested by the cool blues of the moonlit color scheme. The rest is left to your imagination.

Maybe the pair later went to get something tasty? Ice cream? It doesn’t always have to come down to ice-cream. But it could be ice-cream.

And here are the rest of the 10:
