Mitch's Art

The Star Swordsman - Aww. I sure hope that’s not the case…

Here is

another picture that has been stuck in my head for a while:

Remy realizes that Emile is successfully setting his tail on fire. Emile, on the other hand, is completely

oblivious.

I really had alot of fun drawing this picture, and decided to touch it up by shading it

after I had finished sketching it out. Don’t ask me what Emile is reaching for though, as I’m not sure myself.

I think I was going to have him attempt to grab a cookbook from a shelf in Remy’s house, but there wasn’t

enough room left on the paper.

Ha! That’s pretty cute! I like it!

Mitch · February 8, 2007, 5:14pm

lennonluvr9 - (snigger) Heheh – thank you.

Mitch · February 14, 2007, 9:13pm

Eh – I was feeling

“sketchy”. Pencil and colored pencils were involved. This was just for fun, which is why it looks so

bad.

This is also the first time I have attempted (and finished) to draw Remy on model/scale. Didn’t

quite turn out the way I wanted it to, though.

(heh)

My apologies concerning the fact that I haven’t drawn much lately. I just haven’t been in the

mood for sketching out Squeaker or any other Incredibles characters, which is why my

pencil has neglected to create any pictures of the said family/characters. I’ll get to it when I feel up to

it…

The_Star_Swordsman · February 15, 2007, 12:26am

Well

here is one you haven’t done in a while. For the first time in months or so, you put color in.

Mitch · February 15, 2007, 2:55am

Hehe – yep, I decided to color it in! I thought, "Ahh…what the heck? You’re

never gonna see an animated blue rat again, so I may as well spice up the picture a bit." I forgot to

mention that I didn’t add teeth to the little guy due to three reasons…

I was too lazy to do it,
I have difficulty drawing teeth, and
I didn’t want to.

The_Star_Swordsman · February 15, 2007, 2:56am

I must say. You raw a lot better in color. it stands out

more.

Mitch · February 15, 2007, 2:59am

Aww – well, thank you. I still hate

adding color to my pictures, since I think they look terrible, but I’ll take the compliment.

I’m

really hankerin’ to draw a very realistic, stylized rendition of Remy in a nervous pose. However, since I’m as

an amateur at shading as you can get, and because I still can’t draw like an expert, I’ll have to wait on it.

Either that, or shoot for the stars. I just might try it for kicks…

Oh, and I also might draw Colette

too, so keep an eye out.

The_Star_Swordsman · February 15, 2007, 3:16am

You are welcome. And I’ll keep my eyes open.

Edna · February 15, 2007, 5:34pm

[b]Nice drawing Mitch!!!

Are you doing any more Ratatouille ones soon? [/b]

Mitch · February 15, 2007, 5:45pm

Edna - Heheh – thank you! And yep, I just did one.

Here ya’

go…

I was practicing with my animal anatomy skills – shoulders particularly – , and as you can see…they

aren’t very good. I’m still working on it and this was just a sample I did last night.

Seriously, I’m

considering striving for a career in animation now. I stayed up late last night just so I could have fun drawing,

which is saying something.

I’ll attempt to draw Colette soon. I really want to make her look good, so

I’ll actually spend some quality time on this sketch.

Edna · February 15, 2007, 6:10pm

[b]Your welcome Mitch!!

Oh sorry I did

not know you were making one.

Nice drawing Mitch keep up the great work!!! [/b]

Texas_loves_Pixar · February 15, 2007, 6:33pm

Nice

work. I can’t draw with a hoot you make it look so easy.

Bill · February 15, 2007, 6:39pm

Great Remy drawing! Keep up the great work!

Mitch · February 15, 2007, 6:39pm

Edna - Oh no, it’s

perfectly alright. Don’t feel bad at all.

And thank you! But seriously, that is one of the worst Remy

drawings I have ever done. (snigger)

Texas - Heheh – much obliged. As long

as you keep practicing, you too can become a great artist! It’s taken me more than ten years and this is still

only the best I can do. It takes a while…

Bill - Thanks,

Bill!

It’s funny – the drawings that I really hate are the ones that everybody else likes.

Texas_loves_Pixar · February 15, 2007, 6:41pm

Yeah its just not my thing.

The_Star_Swordsman · February 16, 2007, 12:39am

Well, it looks nice. Just two suggestions for you though. Maybe you could put some color into your drawings? And

my next one is to expand a bit. Don’t limit yourself to just rats.

Mitch · February 16, 2007, 5:45am

Texas - Yeah, not everyone

is into drawing. That’s perfectly alright with me. We all have our own, special interests.

The Star Swordsman - Mmm…yeah, I should add some color to more of my

drawings. However, my style is one of black and white…more often than not. The thing is, my favorite way to

color my drawings is in Photoshop, but since I can hardly ever do this…I just usually avoid coloring. I’ll try

to get back into it, though. I found a nice collection of colored pencils that I’ve currently been using.

Amen to that! Thanks for the tip. I’m going to expand, all right. I’m going to do Colette, Nemo, Boo, a

bunch of other characters soon. I’m starting to get sick of drawing rats myself.

The_Star_Swordsman · February 16, 2007, 5:47am

In my opinion, you do a great job of drawing Rats. I know

how excited you are of Ratatouille. But I am sure you can do equally as good with another movie that you really

love.

Mitch · February 18, 2007, 1:59am

The Star Swordsman - Heheh

– well, thanks.

I just realized that I did draw a picture of a character

from Finding Nemo a while back, so here it is:

r
Trust me, it looks alot better on the original paper. You can barely make out the

shading on the right hand side of Pearl, and it’s really dark compared to the original sketch. But, other than

that, I kind of like it.
