BDD: Thanks! Oh, there’s lots about the second panel that could be improved! Struggled with it quite a bit, but had to settle on something for the time being.
That birthday present for Mitch is great, Hannahmation! Russell’s a difficult one to get right but you’ve done really well, and I especially like how it’s in two panels like a comic.
Thanks lizardgirl for the comments
Here’s a sketch of Russell I did while chatting after the Toy Story 2 movie night. Used a photo as a reference. I think his legs a bit too long, but oh well.
Haha! I love it! His mouth is a bit odd, but Russell’s face is pretty tricky. I don’t think the legs are too long, but that’s just because they look ok, Russell’s legs would be a bit shorter I think. Nevertheless, it’s a fantastic drawing, great job! claps
Looks pretty excellent to me. With the pose and cheerful smile you drew him in, you’ve captured what makes his character so lovable!
Many thanks for the kind comments ffdude1906 and BDD! One of these days I’ll perfect Russell.
In honor of your birthday, ffdude1906, I drew you this! I thought the text was something Carl would say, so I hope you don’t mind the ‘kid’ part seeing as you are 20 now!
Oh, wow, thanks a ton Hannah! I love it! Really, wow, that’s awesome. Really honored. It looks fantastic!
Love you guys here,
God. Why do I envy all of you that really, really can draw?
W-O-W. [No, not World of Warcraft. I know it’s lame…ah, forget it]
Yeah, Russell’s legs looked a bit long in that earlier pic, and it would be cooler if you tried a different pose (as it’s too similar to your summer pic of Russell at the beach a few months back), but other than that, I have no complaints. The face looks good, the line of action looks just about right. Maybe try a little shading?
As for ffdude1906’s bday gift, that is very cool! The colours match, the tagline’s cute, and I like the guidelines. Oh, and that little Grape Soda badge he’s wearing, too. Maybe it would be funnier if he actually frowned in that pic, but a smile ain’t bad too.
There’s an old Malay proverb: “Belum cuba, belum tahu.” Literally means “Never try, never know.” So ‘cha waitin’ for? Give drawing a shot yourself!
That’s a sweet sketch of Russell, Hannahmation! I don’t know about the legs, I don’t think they look particularly long…The shape of his head doesn’t look quite right, but I’m pretty sure it’s a million times better than anything I could ever do with Russell. And ffdude1906’s birthday present is great, Carl looks amazing! It’s nice to see him smile for once, and I love the way you’ve coloured him in but left the sketchy lines.
I like pics of Carl smiling. It’s kind of rare, so whenever he does, it’s really great. Sure, a frown portrays him better, but he’s got a great smile, it really makes you feel like something great has happened. I guess you’d have to see the movie to understand how good it really is, Carl’s just an amazing character.
You are most welcome, ffdude1906. I’m glad you like it.
wannabechef91: The more you draw, the better you get! Trust me. You don’t want to see any of my early drawings!
thedriveintheatre: I actually used the same photo as reference. I wanted another go at that pose, but you’re right. I should try different poses next… and some shading. Thanks for the comments.
lizardgirl: Thanks! Yeah, Russell’s pretty tricky to get right. Hopefully one of these times I’ll get it! I’m quite fond of sketchy lines for some reason, so I’m glad you like that I left them in.
I like the sketchy look as well, not entirely sure why, but it gives it a cool handmade look. I love that you left it in the Carl drawing, looks neat!
I, too, like the neat coloring and the sketchy lines left in. It’s nicely drawn! It’s interesting that you drew Carl with a smile, what he doesn’t have that often. Good job!
I was looking at the Finding Nemo wallpaper Fabricio made and had the sudden urge to draw Gill. He’s such a great character and I haven’t seen any sketches of him around. Took me about 30 minutes to draw and color this directly into Photoshop with my Wacom tablet. (My wallpaper changes every half an hour and I was using the Nemo wallpaper as reference, so I was working against the clock!)
It looks real neat, Hannahmation! I love how you did the detail like the scar(s). And his expressions is spot-on. I also like the slight yellowish shade with the white. Good job on Gil!
Excellent job! He looks pretty good, and I agree that Gill is a great character. I need a tablet at some point, the look like a lot of fun, and really useful.
Great speed drawing, Hannahmation! I like his trademark ‘smirk’, and how you managed to draw and colour it using the Wacom (my only artpiece using it so far involved me drawing the sketch using traditional pencil first). Background gradient’s nice too!
Thanks for the comments BDD, ffdude1906, and TDIT! I had a lot of fun with this, so I am hoping to do more like it.
