No, I didn't cut the card straight. The art sucks, too, but ...if my dumb butt hadn't made any mistakes, my watchers would ask who drew it and if I'd like to buy more commissions. So, when you see failure, you know I'm responsible and that my wallet is closed. :3

Anyway, this is Dexter ...and, yes, I've drawn Dexter before (Dexter last visited here in 2016). :3
This time, however, I drew Dexter in a pose of my own ...which is just of him standing and not knowing what to do with his hands (another way my watchers can tell a given drawing is by me is if it is both awkward and entirely void of creativity).

Dexter is from the Dutch film 'The Dragon that Wasn't (or Was He)?' (TDtWoWH)

TDtWoWH was the first feature-length animated film produced in the Netherlands, hence it's somewhat significant ion the cartoon world.

SOURCE: https://dubbing.fandom.com/wiki/The_Dragon_That_Wasn%27...

The movie itself was based on characters from the 'Tom Puss' comics (which I know nothing about).

...Pencil.

Kinda obvious why I chose a dragon subject to feature with this pencil (yes, I count the pencils as more important than my art).

This pencil is named 'Draco', likely in reference to the constellation 'The Dragon': https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/Dra...

I don't know the maker or the vintage of this pencil. A similar green-colored 'Draco' pencil was made by Cavalier Pencil Co. some decades ago, but I am unsure if this pencil is related (sometimes pencils do not bear makers marks).

How did you find out about this movie? Was it even officially released in english?

It aired on The Disney Channel waaaaaay back in the early 90s. I may yet have a Disney Channel guide with the movie in it (I'd have to see).

This isn't Dexter... or is it?

The first movie of a country is often significant, if only for that country itself. But seldom good, because one's first efforts shouldn't be one's best.

I take it you don't like the movie. ^^

It's not terrible, but I have noticed such first entries are often not great. Which is to be expected. Skill gotta grow from somewhere.

Indeed.

Pretty impressive production values. Hate the music though. But it's a children's movie so it has to have songs and bright melodies that don't seem to fit the movie. (Just my opinion. American movies do it too.) It kind of has a "Pete's Dragon" feel to it, the OLD version not that horrible live action remake that fortunately seems to have been forgotten!

Did you draw this picture with this pencil, cause drawing a dragon with a "Draco" pencil would be cool. Also it's rated "HB" so it must be an artist pencil. Would love to know if there are others in this series of different lead variations.

I love happy, cheerful cartoon music (despite many things). My favorite 'songs' are those from AotLK.

La-la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la-la, la
La-la, la-la, la-la,
La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

<3

I drew this with my 'Zephyr', and delineated it with a Milbro Quill.

I have seven 'Draco' pencils, so I 'could' sharpen one, but there's no real need to.

No one has isolated the 'songs'; I don't even know if one could.
