skinny
November 3, 2009
Little known fact: Despite his otherwise great girth, Santa is plagued with quite the spindly, chicken legs.
………………………………………………….
The “Illustration Friday” theme for the week is skinny and, well, it’s time to break out the Santas, eh?

Lol. Love those skinny legs (and striped green drawers!)on Santa!
Um, and has he forgotten to put on his pants?! (Not that I blame him, he’s probably got a lot on his mind huh?)

Years of riding around in a sleigh and letting the little people assist him with his chores have taken their toll on this jolly fellow’s physique. But you gotta love him, and your wonderful illustration!

Absolutely perfect! I love the idea and the character is superb!

Thanks for the comment and no problem about the question.
Normally if we draw realistic or comics drawing Andrea do the pencils and me the inks,about colours dipends sometimes half and half sometimes alone.
About children illustrations ,normally I do pencils and colours but sometimes he helps me with backgrouds.In fact for the children book we are doing he did all the backgrounds.

I haven’t visited for so long.. it’s so lovely to visit your blog! He is a wonderful Santa, as my Mother would say those legs “wouldn’t be able to stop a pig in a passage”. 🙂

I love the toes (and the mouse!) Your characters always have so much personality, Linda!
And it was from seeing all your illos that I got interested in drawing bunnies 🙂

Love it! My those are the skinniest legs ever! I expect to see him tumble over any minute and roll in a ball. Cute little mouse peeking at him….wise enough not to laugh, or he might not get any Christmas cheese 🙂

First thought that came to mind:
Santa’s affected by the recession. The economy made him svelte.
