What I Drew Sunday, July 26th - Top 3

I am thankful that several folks responded to my request for simple, fun sketch suggestions to inspire last Sunday’s session of “What Shall I Draw Today?” It was a welcomed break/recovery period after my 14-days of intense, Disney Parks sketches earlier this month.

Here are the top 3 liked pieces from Sunday:

#1 - Elsa and Killer Frost gossiping while eating snow cones: suggestion by @madesalvo with acknowledgment to @nikkistar5394

These two ladies have similar ice powers. Elsa from Disney’s Frozen franchise controls magic  with primarily ice and snow related manifestations. Killer Frost is one of DC Comics’ many freezing-powered characters, most of whom are villains. On the CW’s The Flash, Killer Frost, a.k.a. “Frost,” is a reformed villain in an overly simplified description.

Opting to go with the T.V. version, the suggestion was an otherwise straight forward description. Depicting “gossiping” in a single illustration isn’t the easiest thing. I went with a not too subtle commentary on Elsa’s ice powers.

#2 - Bolt and the Rescuers: suggestion by @lindsey_baker28

At first glance, this team up of characters seems to be an unexpected cross-over of unrelated Disney characters. They must bee somebody’s favorite characters. While not depicted in the final sketch, I thought the cute back story was that the group must be on a mission to save Penny - again. The twist? Bolt’s Penny is different than Bernard and Bianca’s Penny.

Rhino the hamster is in the mix because he fun and fits in the picture.

#3 - Donald Duck getting mad at texting and auto correct: suggestion by @spanky.bear

Donald has a famously short temper. Even so, being mad at a smart phone or smashing one deserves a little more for a gag drawing. A cartoon short would exploit an anthropomorphized phone, but that’s too much story for a sketch purposes. Along those lines, however, the phone could display a weird, auto-corrected message that irritated Donald’s last nerve.

With nothing coming to mind immediately, an attempt to have my own smart phone auto-correct something didn’t work. A quick-ish internet search resulted in a lot of things a bit too much with mature innuendo. On the other hand, it also resulted in potty humor.

Choosing the root text as the mundane, “I’m starving. What’s for dinner?” substitute “diarrhea” for “dinner” and that’s comedy.
