Day 16 - Inspired by Victoria Ying
The past few days I've been taking a look at Victoria Ying's blog. Victoria is a Visual Development artist at Walt Disney Animation Studios, and I love her watercolor style. Her girls, in particular, are outstanding - I would guess she has been heavily influenced by the likes of Fred Moore and Chris Sanders.
So I've been trying my hand at some paintings, keeping an eye on her style and trying to pull bits from it. Thanks for the inspiration, Victoria!

Day 13... and more!
A few really rough sketches for today... I've been busy working on a freelance gig at the moment, so haven't had a whole lot of time for the sketchbook, but I'll post what I can manage. First, some weird guys with some weird eyes...
Also, I just finished reading the new book, Winnie the Pooh: A Celebration of the Silly Old Bear, which is basically a "history and art of" the Winnie the Pooh films.
It's a great book, detailing how A.A. Milne's characters came to be, why the "real-life" Christopher Robin didn't actually like Winnie the Pooh, and how the characters eventually came into Disney's possession. It has lots of cool concept art, story sketches, and animation drawings from the classic films and the new film (although not quite as much as some other "art of" books), and has made me very excited to go see it next week. Anyone who loves art and animation, or even just Winnie the Pooh in general, should definitely check it out.
It got me excited enough for the new film that I've been drawing the Silly Old Bear all day.

Day 12
I'm trying to go for a more sculptural, almost cg look to my characters. I've been thinking about drawing in the sense that I'm capturing one frame from a finished piece - almost working backwards, instead of trying to draw one piece at a time until I get to the finished piece.
I don't know. Just some artist crap.
