Donald Duck, rough test

Speed digital shading test. The initial drawing was done with a regular jumbo size blue pencil on paper, the rest of it was executed in Photoshop. BTW, I lively remember watching John Carpenter's 'The Thing' the first time, way back in the 80s, this was the test scene's starting point, here.
