Rosemary in the October palette 🎃 I'm enjoying this lil square format. Got a small bundle of them coming!🟥🟧🟨

I heard Charles Schulz say in an interview that he always draws the Peanuts characters in the same stroke order, like they wouldn't turn out the same if he changed it up. I really like the idea that cartoon characters have more in common with writing kanji than drawing a portrait.

It's like there's an inherent meaning in the combination of marks that reveal to us a character, we're reading the art, not looking at it the same way we would a portrait. It makes an elegant kind of sense that cartooning is the embodiment of economy both in drawing and in communication.

Speaking of elegant, that final sentence is particularly gorgeous.
