I had a lot of trouble with the second pose and I'm still not happy with it, though I can't figure out what to fix. Suggestions welcomed.

This semester we are to create two faces poses a week to help us become comfortable posing the face. I'll be posting mine as I go along, and as always, crits and comments are encouraged.
Frederator to podcast public domain toons
April 20th, 2006From AWN
"Frederator Studios has launched ReFrederator (www.refrederator.com), the
world's first daily vintage cartoon video podcast.
ReFrederator will feature classic cartoons from the public domain such as
Bugs Bunny, Mighty Mouse, Daffy Duck, Betty Boop, Little Lulu, Porky Pig,
Donald Duck and Felix the Cat, as well as fairy tales and musicals. Every
7-9 minute podcast will feature a short-form classic cartoon and
promotional packaging and branding from ReFrederator. New episodes will
appear daily Monday through Friday, grouped into weekly themes.
The first week of the new series features a Mother Goose theme, beginning
with a 1935 Humpty Dumpty cartoon from Ub Iwerks, Walt Disney's personal
friend and first employee, followed by Mighty Mouse in WOLF! WOLF! from
1945 and the Oscar-nominated PIGS IN A POLKA from director Friz Freleng.
The week will wrap up with POOR CINDERELLA, the only color Betty Boop
cartoon, and FONEY FABLES, a series of short vignette parodies of classic
Disney stories.
Programming for ReFrederator is headed by producer Eric Homan and
illustrator, cartoonist and scholar Dave Kirwan (www.davekirwan.com).
Consultants include animation historian Jerry Beck
(www.cartoonresearch.com) and writer Melissa Wolfe. The launch programming
was edited by Barry Hirschberg.
In addition, on Tuesday, April 18, the studio celebrates the showing of its
100th cartoon on its flagship Channel Frederator video podcast.
