Description I wanted to try something. I've done this with Charlie Chaplin except all my attemps are still in my drawing book but, I love trying to figure out a way of drawing someone in the simplelest way possible yet still recognisable. Since I'm in a juicy mood (pun intended), well, I did it to Beetlejuice XD.

There's 3 attemps so far, and all of them look totaly different. There's still that strong "cartoony" flavour to these I know, but it's all in the goal of trying to correct all the tiny little things that the existing cartoon version of Beetlejuice that still bug me. The upper right is like, more realistic, the center one is a bit more cartoony and the one to the lower left would be more.. err.. cartoony?

For starters, I still find that his nose in the cartoon looks too much like a bird's beak. If it would be rounded off at the tip, it wouldn't be as bad. I don't know why but his front upper teeth are always sticking out. Even when I was a kid watching the show, his teeth always bugged me. And finaly, his finger tips give me the impression Lydia attacked him with red nail polish and dunked each one of his fingers in the little nail polish container.

I LOVE this! I agree, a lot of things about Beetlejuice's look in the cartoon bothered me... with the changes you made, you truly captured the essence of Beetlejuice. Fabulous job!

it's just the right balance between the actual character of the movie and a way of drawing him that's not boringly realistic yet obviously beetlejuice, amazing.

The bottom left one is by far my favorite! The facial expression and posture really shows his true character

Beetlejuice's fingers are so fucking bizarre. They look so damn pointy! Like he jammed them into a pencil sharpener or something.

I know XD. They just look "too" weird. I always figured that the most appropriate thing would be for them to have a bit of moss growing on them. After all, he is technicly dead.
