The series of drawings I’ve come to call “Down Low With Lou” was executed in December ’88, January ’89. After having pursued it to the point where I found it had legs, I decided to pin the “Lou” character down with a more formal character design. Since I had been employed for a half decade in the TV Animation industry by that time, that meant a head-turn. If I’d really been into it, I’d have done a 3/4 besides the profile and front, and maybe a full body turn as well, with a page of attitude drawings. This would have all be good practice for one of my career goals, transitioning from storyboards to character designs, or, at least, getting to do both, like my hero, Alex Toth.
Note that I was working with out reference, so the drawings only look like Ed Asner in a general sense.
