Badger's art...

I like your style, Badger! It’s very sweet and creative. I love your sketch of dug, and mixing Up with The Incredibles seems to work very well! You’re right, without his Wilderness Explorer costume, it’s difficult to make Russell recogniseable, but I think you’ve managed it. Part of me thinks he needs to be a little chubbier, though. I’m looking forward to seeing more artwork from you in the future! :smiley:

Thanks. :smiley: You know you guys are all really nice to me, right? xD

I know Russell looks a bit thin but I was afraid I’d overdo his… chubbyness. :laughing:

I felt like drawing Dug…


So I did. Also, there’s this squirrel from a game I really like… Conker. But about Dug: I know his anatomy in his legs looks off, but ah well…

Also I have another pic of Russell… (and Kevin)


But it’s quite old. A few months, perhaps? Also, I’ve used a reference for this pic. That’s right - all other pics were drawn from memory. Geez, I feel like such a showoff… sorry guys.

Well, Badger, if you don’t want me to be nice to you, just say the word! (kidding! :stuck_out_tongue: ) Your drawing of Dug is alright, and it was hilarious when I first saw it! Even though his anatomy in his legs looks off, it doesn’t matter, the drawing still looks good either way! :slight_smile: Your drawing of Kevin & Russell is cool, too. :slight_smile: No! You’re not showing off, man! This is your topic (“Badger’s artwork”), you can show as much artwork as you like on this topic (unless if it’s inappropriate)! :smiley:

Aw, thanks. :slight_smile: And you don’t have to worry about me posting inappropriate stuff… it scares me. xD

I was googling the Art of Up, and I came across this expression sheet of Russell… and one of his expressions amused me so, I had to draw it.

I spelt angry wrong on purpose btw. xD

Ha ha lol :laughing: “You make Russell agnry”! That was hilarious, Badger! XD I hope I’m not annoying you by posting about your artwork (and being the first one too), but your drawings are really amazing! Even though this drawing is so simple, it’s so darn cute and funny that I actually put your picture as my iTouch wallpaper! Now everytime I turn on my iTouch, I’ll be able to see your drawing! :smiley: Hope that you keep on doing those drawings! (I would too but I’ve been pretty busy, lazy …and procrastinating :unamused: that I’ve not gotten the chance too yet)

Of course you’re not annoying me! I think you’re a really nice guy.

…you did?
OMG… I’m so flattered now. :open_mouth: I didn’t expect someone to like my art that much… you don’t know how happy you just made me. :smiley:

This is seriously the nicest forum ever. 8D

No problem! :smiley: I’m glad that you think I’m a nice guy! (you seem like a nice lady? correct me if I’m wrong) By the way, I still think your picture is funny and so does some other people who have seen it, so there’s more people that like your art then you may think. Yes, this is indeed a very nice forum. Hope you keep doing your great drawings and I’m hoping that I can show you more of my character designs for [censored], too! :slight_smile:

Your latest one of Russell is so cute, Badger! You’ve got his ‘agnry’ expression spot on. It’d look great coloured!

Heh, thanks. :smiley:

Dude… I must draw more. And I even got the Art of Up yesterday… got some awesome drawings, that. And it told about the film’s amazing symbolism… [spoil]Like how when Carl met Ellie, she became the colour in his life. When she died it was all drab and grey, but whenever Russell was on screen, he’d bring some of Ellie’s colour back to Carl’s life. I thought that was really sweet.[/spoil]

Lol, Russell’s always stuffing himself with chocolate. xD

Hey, thats kinda cute! I like the simplicity of it.

Thanks!


Russell’s cute.

Dang, I should really try to draw the rest of the Up gang instead of just focusing on Russell here… but I really wanna nail his anatomy down, because he’s, like, the cutest thing since baby skunks. lol.

Yeah, skunks are cute.

Aw, now that’s a very sweet one of him, Badger. He’s got such a cute expression on his face, and the soft shading that you’ve used to colour him in makes the piece all the more cuddly. If I could offer some advice, I’m not quite sure about the shaping of his face, his chin especially, but I think with a little more enhanced shading in that area it would give his face more of a 3D look. He looks great though, and the sketchy style you’ve drawn him in works really well. :smiley:

Thanks! 8D Oh, I see his face looks a bit off now, but seeing I’m quite bad at drawin’ human anatomy, heh… that’s no excuse for me, though! Moar practice is needed! D:

But hey, Pixar is finally makin’ me draw human characters. Haven’t done that since I fangirled over the Mario games.

I should really try to draw Carl once…

I think the biggest thing that you could change to make him resemble Russell more is to get the eyes down. In my practice, I’ve noticed eyes are super touchy, and getting them just the slightest bit off makes the biggest difference. Just something I thought I’d throw out there. Looks really good though! :slight_smile:

And yeah, I’d like to see you draw Carl! :smiley:

Well, I think judging by your avatar, baby skunks are pretty cute! :slight_smile: I like this drawing, Badger, Russell looks pretty darn cute in this one, too. I don’t think there’s nothing wrong about it, but, I’m gonna have to agree with ffdude1906 on the eyes. They have to be a slight bit narrower to look more like Russell’s eyes, but, you know what, that’s not really a big problem. Other than that, I think that Russell looks as cute as a teddy bear! :slight_smile:

Keep those drawings going, Badger, and I’d like to see you draw Carl, as well! :smiley:

Thanks guys! Yeah, I know his eyes should probably be corrected… but I think part of his lower head looks off too. Thanks though! :smiley:

Sorry for double post!

Russell busy earning his [spoil]senior Wilderness Explorer badges… and he made himself a plush Kevin.[/spoil]

That’s pretty cute right? :smiley:
I know his left hand/arm looks off… but it could be worse I suppose.

As I said on your dA, this is my fave Russell of yours so far! Looks really great! Keep at it!

That was a cute drawing, Badger. A plush Kevin, huh? If he were making them and selling them, I’d probably buy one. :slight_smile: His left arm is off a bit, yeah, but that’s not a big deal at all. I don’t know why, but I actually laughed when I first saw Russell’s expression. At first, his expression looked like that he did something embarrassing, but then I had a better look (I guess my eyes are still asleep :stuck_out_tongue:). Anyways, once again, Badger, great job on the drawing! :slight_smile:

I just love your drawing style, Badger! It’s simple and almost child-like (I mean that in a good way!)… kinda Chibi-style with big doe eyes. Here are some of my faves:

“Snakes are not scary” - I agree! They’re not slimy or as disgusting as some people think… I’m actually a fan of them. Of course, you gotta be smart and look out for the venomous ones, but I dream of owning a harmless one as an exotic pet. Do I sound weird for empathizing with reptiles? I hope not. :stuck_out_tongue: Oh, and I just love the snake you drew… pink and with ‘pencil-dot’ eyes!

“Squirrel” - I’m a sucker for crossovers, and although I haven’t played Conker (it’s a little vulgar for my taste), I like his self-aware and depreciating humour. So when you ‘mashed’ that with Dug (I like his pose and expression), it’s a winner for me! :slight_smile:

“She Says You’ll Let Me” - I like Russell’s smug expression. Some work can be done on Kevin, and I think that’s your weakness for Up characters at the moment, but Russell is your strength, so I guess you know which you have to practise on now!

“You Make Russell Agnry” - Love the misspelling and the unamused expression!

“Kevin plush” - Oh my gosh, the plush is so adorable! I also adore Russell’s cheeky grin.

Well, you have a knack for drawing Russell for sure. My advise is to work on Kevin and Dug, and maybe try out Carl for a change too! Oh, and it would be great if you could draw some Wall-E and Incredibles fan art… maybe Ratatouille too, since you mentioned you like to draw animals?
