Space Ghost! - Trials and Errors

I've never drawn Space Ghost before so at this point in the process I am just trying to get a feel for the character. So I just doodle some faces, figures, and the main pose trying to solidify my approach. Sometimes the simplest designs are the hardest to pull off. I believe Alex Toth designed SG, and he was a master of making simple yet strong designs. Tough act to follow. Onward!

Gene,

I think Alex Toth had a hand in Space Ghost, or at least inspired the artist who designed Space Ghost.

Funny, you describe Alex Toth as having a simple and strong design. Along the same lines, I think that you have simple and elegant conquered in your artist tool box !
