I'm not really sure where the clown obsession has come from. I think I drew a clown once and liked how he came out and started drawing variations of him. In any event, I wanted to share this clown, I think I like this version better, with you guys. 

This is just a work in progress. As you can see, I am using Flash 6 and have a whole bunch of layers indicating pretty much everything you see in this scene. I am really happy with the color selection thus far. I like the Easter colors against bolder, flat colors in a heavy outline. It makes the characters pop off the page and feel like a traditional cel painting. This piece is actually a pre-viz painting for a 15sec. short I am making in my 2D Production class. Its going to be a lot of work, but I'm very excited to get cracking on it!

Stay tuned for more clowns and all things animated!
