still recovering from travel/hand injury but I have folks asking for advice on expressions a lot so here’s an old patreon early xmas present for you folks! (I make things like this for the 20 dollar tier by request, so if you’d like more…)
as ever this is just stuff I do/have observed and there’s no real right or wrong way of doing things! just get out there and observe, draw, make mistakes, learn from them and do it again! and again, and again…
We’re clearing out my room at the moment and in the process of savaging my old desk I found some old sketches from school! They’re in biro and on the back of some woodwork notes so I must have been like, 15? Maybe. Anyway. Thought you’d like to see.
I wish I could remember what their name was but I remember drawing this character quite a lot… edit: I REMEMBERED! they were called Piffle, or Piff for short, because it was bullied for being small and weak and unimportant aka. ‘piffling’
Jeez, I was mean to my characters even back then
ahaha hey remember when I had a burst of storyboarding parts of the feature film of SKIP that’s in my brain but will likely never happen? :’D was going through an old sketchbook and found some sketches I never used for that so hey maybe you’d like them
oh and the toy ones are from a bit where they get turned into toys… yeah
My half of the trade with 0chromat who is amazing and I am unworthy grovel grovel etc. (also this is not canon unless you agree with it but yeah RGB sucks at relationships go figure)
also I know all of you are going to be going WHA about some of this but you know better than to ask for an explanation from me :|b
I’M SO SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG AND IT’S SO CRAPPY COMPARED TO YOUR MASTERPIECE LIKE HOLY CRAP WHAT EVEN
someone pointed out that I should reblog this after the context of the Black Market and I guess
yeah
Best viewed full size in new tabs because tumblr despises long pictures!
So as some of you will know I used to be a storyboarder for (you can laugh), Barbie films- and I had a great time! Rainmaker was a lovely studio and I worked with some great people, and while there were always tough times on the whole it was a wonderful and invaluable working experience.
One of the best films I worked on was Princess Power, here’s a scene from it that I enjoyed doing. They did change some things in the final pass but really I was amazed how much they kept in!
