The Art of little_chef (and her sis)

Another solid drawing!

Awesome work. I wish I could draw like that. :smiley:

I’ve commented on these back on dA, but I’ve gotta say… these are amazing! Ratatouille has been your strength lately; I love all your stories for just that one single movie.

BTW, do you plan to do any Brave art?

Thanks for the fantastic compliments, guys!!

Some more Ratatouille stuff omg

I threw these images together to give you an idea of how I separate Gusteau’s features from Alfredo to get Renata. C:

Some scribbles I did while watching the movie. It was really fun to just let loose and draw stuff I saw with literally seconds of reference to use.

I finally put down what Colette’s mother would look like. I’ve had the idea in my head for years but never drew it out. Also babby Joelinne.

And lastly, I still consider Mabel to be an original character, but since I posted art of her and Mallory earlier, here’s a better picture of what she looks like. :slight_smile:

Very nice, little_chef! You continue to amaze me - even those Ratatouille doodles were exceptional! :smiley:

Wonderful job! My favorite is Colette’s Mother, I can picture her mother looking like that.

Thank you both again! I really love to imagine the relatives of characters we already know well. :slight_smile:

It’s been a while since I drew a decent picture of little Nolan, so I dove in headfirst to the project I’m about to show you guys! I never imagined it would be as intense as it was - I saw a silly advertisement online one time of a young boy in a dress shirt and tie in front of a laptop, and had to laugh. That was SO Nolan! Therefore, I had to draw it!

Here is the result of that silly little idea. Yeah, I never thought it would end up being that detailed or anything, I just wanted to draw out a silly idea and it took me two and a half days! :laughing: But for once in a really long time, I am super proud of my art. ;o; A lot of help from friends and livestream made this a million times greater than I pictured in my mind.

I strongly encourage you to read the description on dA, and also fullview there as well!! There are so many careful details I added, since it was my first time working with a huge file size. (Click the image twice to fullview at true full size!)

Thanks so much for looking!! I hope you enjoy it! :'D

little chef

Excellent work again, little_chef! The two and a half days definitely paid off! :smiley:

Excellent job! So much great detail in there.

Haha, you guys are the two faithful fan art viewers. XD Thanks so much!!

I posted a picture of Colette’s mother Danielle with her son Joelinne not that long ago. I just now finished a couple sketches of Joelinne with a more detailed description of him and his story in the artist’s comments.

This particular art session was brought to you by the sounds of Bangarang and Kill Everybody by Skrillex, Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People, and Renegade by Styx.

little chef

Hey, what are faithful fanart viewers for? :smiley:
Anyway, the drawing looks great, even if this character has a rather depressing backstory. Nevertheless, the way you are able to tell so many stories about so many characters from one movie is amazing! Nicely done again!

It looks wonderful! My favorite part of the drawing is the way you drew his hair.

thanks guys! Joelinne is one of my favorites ;o;

some more stuff that I haven’t posted here yet:

Colette with Nolan a bit in the future

young Anton Ego

sketch of Renata

a rather sad sketch + story of Anton’s older sister, Maura. reading the description is highly recommended

loose sketch of Joelinne

Joelinne again, drawn on what would have been his 22nd birthday

Anton Ego in a… gas mask??? yeah, it was a birthday present for someone :'D

a really huge sketch dump that happens to have some Ratatouille stuff thrown around in there!

little chef

Great as always, little_chef! My faves are the Colette and Nolan and the Radioactive Anton… you are so awesome at this stuff :slight_smile:

All great pieces of art! But my particular favorite is the young Ego one. I also really like the colouring in the gas-mask Ego and second Joelinne ones.

Milan: yeah, a lot of people say they like my coloring a lot! which is funny, because the coloring on Joelinne came out pretty sloppy. :stuck_out_tongue:

OWP: thanks!! ;u;

another quickie sketch of Joelinne, my way of winding down after working on a digital painting for a few hours. :3

little chef

Your work is always soooooo amazing!!!

I love it! The facial expression is particularly good.

Wow, that is a cool sketch! Niiiiice! :slight_smile:

you guys flatter! thank you!!! ;o;

another sketch!! this time of Nolan when he’s older!! ;u;
