Big Foot Part 3 - Skater Boy

"Mom, why are the feet so BIG"
Because I am having a series of BIG FOOT characters
"oh"     (picture an extended "eye roll" here)

You may be wondering the same thing - particularly on yesterday's dancer - she might have looked better with normal feet.

I guess I'm doing it because the idea popped into my head.  Hubby says if I get an idea in my head there is no hope of getting it out until I get my way.  He knows me pretty well so I might as well admit he is right.

When I make a character "to scale" he/she/it often won't fit on a standard size card.  And even if I use it on a scrapbook page, it takes up too much page and attention. 

So I "thought up" making some characters where the head and feet were the emphasis and the body was tiny and less crucial to the character. Cartoon characters are drawn this way frequently (particularly the big head part).

I think this works particularly well for today's Skater Boy...

Of course for "your" skater boy you might want to do something totally different because you might want to emphasize the tight jeans on long legs - but maybe you can get an idea from this anyway.

I'm trying to keep the same base head and face for all these characters - and the feet are all the large oval in some form or fashion.  You could certainly change up the faces to make them more interesting.  I did photograph Skater Boy with two different mouths because I thing the look of disgust is funnier.

I'll be focusing on BIG FEET for another day or two.

All this foot talk...maybe I'll treat myself to a pedicure today....
