I grew up watching Disney&#8217;s Ducktales on TV and reading all the comics I could get my hands on. But I had never tried to seriously draw them until then. And I wasn&#8217;t too bad at it. But before I could get my first assignment, the editor I was talking with lost his job and the whole Disney comics line\u00a0closed down.\u00a0 Such things happen sometime.\u00a0(Don&#8217;t worry, I landed the Kansas Jayhawk ABC book weeks later, and that worked out pretty well for me.)<\/p>\n<p>But I developed the love of drawing Donald, Uncle Scrooge, and the whole gang of ducks.\u00a0 So\u00a0I occasionally start my day with couple sketches of Donald to warm up the ol&#8217; drawing hand before working on my own stuff. And so I decided to put all that practice to good use and draw the Disney ducks in a more finished illustration.<\/p>\n<p>And I think it turned out OK.
