One of my favorite sketching activities is to start my hand moving around the page, making ink swoops and swirls and then see what happens. Most of them become characters. This one kind of evolved really quickly with a minimum of the stray lines that normally accompany a sketch.In 2007, I traveled to a Clown festival in Shanghai, China. One of the performers who follows one of the more modern traditions of Clown/Buffoon has a very simple, hunchbacked no-makeup look. He squawks like a surly semi-verbal 4-year-old and hits people with a duck. He makes me laugh.
