"clomsy, three fingered cartoon hands" Then he draw 4 of them!

Loved this video - would love to see more videos from you, Jim. Big fan of all your work.

You can't say that to Jim Woodring, man! He is after all a modern descendent of the classic "bigfoot" newspaper strip artists! Too big, indeed....whatever next--you gonna tell Robert Crumb that he draws women's arses too large?!?!? Lord, give me strength!

@Mortyenh: "English dictionaries describe finger as meaning either one of the five digits including the thumb, or one of the four excluding the thumb (in which case they are numbered from 1 to 4 starting with the index finger closest to the thumb)." (From Wikipedia.)

Very cool, got a brand new set of pencils, think I will give this a shot. Thanks!

[Mortyenh]

Then I got 4 fingers and one thumb?

This is great to see! I have to remind myself that you have drawn this many times, it looks so effortless! I love the proportions but one constuctive criticism may be that the feet to me, look too big in this. But the hands and facial features are very well executed
