A thirty-five-year-old pencil sketch of the title character, Platypus Duck, reflecting on the beach at sunset.

  1. Looks existential, like an Ingmar Bergman shoot.

  3. Wow! This is a great pencil sketch! He kinda reminds me of one of the Bone characters-- Smiley Bone. :)

  4. Thanks, Jeremy. I like how the shadow tells you more about what he looks like than the actual straight forward image of the character himself. Drawn back in 1976, thus the yellowing of the paper.

  5. I agree about the shadowing; it looks very good. :)

    What kind of paper did you use?
