Reagan Model Sheets

Each realistic drawing is based off of a photo of Reagan (shown to the right).

Below each realistic drawing, I practiced making him into a cartoon using the pose in whatever drawing is above it.

Notes to Myself

Draw Reagan from the side (left & right), front, looking down, looking up, and at angles
Hair is always parted to the left

Ronald Reagan – Character Model Sheet

This is me developing my character after the realistic drawings.

It was fun to play around with how I wanted Reagan to look because as cartoons, certain features can be exaggerated,

so I changed this with each character version–finding new things to do, deciding how I wanted the cartoon to look different

each time. For ex, some cartoons have little bodies and big heads.

I think the one I ended up using the most to create my final pieces is the one on the bottom left, looking sideways and pointing.

Concept Sketches, Ideas, Fun Facts About & Quotes from Reagan

These are the beginnings of my single-panel cartoons (one also contains a spot illustration).

Each sketch is based on a quote by Ronald Reagan.

Working Files

These are the first layers (basic body frames and poses) of my single-panel cartoons.
