Can you draw Chris Battle? If so, you could have an exciting career in commercial art!!
Forget about Tippy the Turtle or Patchy the Pirate-- apparently, the toughest thing an artist can attempt to draw is yours truly. Take a look at what happened when the gang at Cartoon Network set out to capture the uniqueness that is me:
Nobody tried harder to figure out the magic formula

Chris Reccardi
Aaron Springer

I finally wound up taking a crack at it myself a few years ago.

haaa! They need to add your mug to the Tippy the Turtle and Patchy the Pirate test since you're so hard to draw.
ReplyDeleteI had to mosey on over to Flickr to remember what you looked like. I think your co-workers did a great job. I love the one of you in the hat.
I like how everyone draws you happy. That just shows us that you're as nice and friendly on the interwebs as you are in real life.
nice drawings.
ReplyDeleteso much character in your style.
If I were to take a crack at drawing you, it would look like an email. A hard working, butt-kicking email.

I can't draw Battle. But I can draw a crab. Crab Battle.
ReplyDeleteI lol'd on blogger.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm gonna have to try and draw you. I just gotta.
ReplyDeleteHere's my try
ReplyDeleteFunny stuff. I really liked the peeling effect on that sperm whale in the short...eewwwww!haha
ReplyDeleteYou are much more horrible looking than your friends draw you, Battle. But, I like you anyway.
ReplyDeleteThese are so awesome Chris!! I think Paul captured you best, tho they're all amazing.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you just post a photo of yourself and let others take a crack at drawing you. That would be something!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love this post. It's cool to see how some animation hotshots draw the same subject.
THese are awesome!!
