Powerpuff Girl Wacky Racers
I suck at drawing props, but when Craig McCracken asked me to come up with some concepts for his new Powerpuff Girl 10th Anniversary Special: "Powerpuff Girls Rule!", I jumped at the opportunity. Craig gave me a list of the basic ideas for the cars and wanted me to keep them similar to the old "Wacky Races" cartoon. I thought it would be fun to think of it as if the characters had found the old cars in a Hanna Barbara junk yard and built their own versions. Hopefully Craig will post his amazing storyboards for this special which he drew himself. They are stunning!

Hmm. That's strange. I thought you said at the top of the post that you suck at drawing props. Clearly that's not the truth. These are brilliant. And done traditionally, right?
