Ok, I’m going to get all art school on us. Study these drawings by Mr. Thompson. They have such a freedom of line and expression that just amazes me. They contain details that, if you just glance over, you’ll miss. Shading, scribbles, uneven lines…they just come together so well. The man truly was a creative genius. Personally, I think Will Henry, who draws Wallace the Brave, has a similar technique along with a great quirky sense of humor.
