I suppose 22 year old drawings would be considered to join the History page of my animation blog. These drawings are pretty good, not sure if I could even draw like this anymore! I made a this clay fishbone animation in 1989 and this is a drawing of it.
The drawings I liked the more in these old sketch books were where I had 'real life' reference. Stuff that I was inventing was pretty ruff and didn't have much direction, just "in the moment" sketches. . . not well planned. But I was just learning back then. 
Originally I wanted multiple hands on each rib. I imagined the style was in a 1940's with still some early "rubber-hose" technique . You can see the influence that Chuck Jones and Marv Newland had on my work. Balloon-like flexibility.
This Chris Dowd caricature was suppose to go along with the Angelo character but never did any animation to accompany the Angelo and Fishbone cartoons . His head could be enlarged 20%. I was trying a brush-pen technique here. While crude I think my passion for drawing shines through my lack of skill at the time.
