Visual Langauge - Captain Character, Preston Blair How to draw cartoon animation

Preston J Blair was an American animator for Walt Disney. He wrote the book titled how to draw cartoon animation going into elaborate detail on things such as squash and stretch of a character, how a character should move depending on what type of character it is and what design traits go into certain character designs.

On the character design side he had four separate character traits; cute screwball goofy and the heavy character. The cute character is a rounded character with large eyes and there body is squashed and short. The screwball is long and elongated with big feet and exaggerated features. Goofy character is even more elongated and stretched but their whole body droops. Finally the heavy has a big barreling chest, tiny lower body in comparison and a huge chin and jowls, tends to be the villain in some way. My character doesn't directly look like any of these characters but I would say it is a combination of the length of a goofy character bearing the mannerisms of a heavy and a screwball (strange combination) due to his twisted and villainous yet cowardly nature.
