  1. Colours are great as well as the paper fx.

  2. I think I'm going to have to disagree... I really like the drawing a whole lot, but I think that the paper texture over top of everything kind of ruins it for me.

  3. I also like the drawing. Like the colours. But don't like the paper effect.

  5. Just who was the master? Charlie Brown or Snoopy?

  6. well Snoopys got the undulating curves going and the neutral detached aesthetics of thee object is art, to then paint it would be mere illustration.

  7. Beautiful. I especially like how the easel and box were handled. Charlie's expression is pretty great too... I want to see how his painting turns out!

  8. What I like best (and what struck me the most) about Brad's version is Snoopy's stance. In the original, it looks like Snoopy's trying to be regal. In Brad's he's a lot more expressive and the way his head is drawn, it looks like he has a sly smile on his face.
