Thanks a lot ffdude1906! I’m glad you like it!
Great job on the drawing of Muntz! Like ffdude1906 said, you’re improving. Keep it up!
Hey guys, thanks a bunch for those constructive comments. I really, really appreciate it! Wow! I guess I did a hell of a good job. This fanart currently my favorite fanart I ever made.
You guys really inspire me. Honest. Just like Linguini and Colette.
You guys are like catalyst that make me to do further than I ever imagined. I admit that I don’t have any talents or skills in drawing or even a sketch. But thanks to you guys, I have achieved more than my own capabilities.
Kudos to y’all. Credits to PP members and mods.
I feel the same way, that drawing I did of Carl is the perfect example, that wasn’t me drawing! I’d be working on a project right now if I hadn’t accidentally locked my sketch book in my friend’s room, UGH, I’M NEVER GONNA FINISH IT
What d’you mean it’s not your drawing, LOL.
Well, I just hope that you’ll finish your project ASAP. I can’t wait to see it!
Well what I meant is that I never thought I was capable of drawing that well, it’s like someone really good at drawing took over my body and drew it for me.
Hey! I feel the same too! It’s like being possessed or something. LOL.
Btw, I really want you guys to check out this sketch LOL. Freaks me out big time.
Which mean not a good context.
Hmm, interesting, try not to make his facial features too lifelike, keep it cartoony.
Actually, and to be honest, I do not like it.
But I’ll take that as a compliment.
Apparently, I gave it to my friend as she likes it. LOL.
Interesting fact: My friends wondered that Up is as good as it said (from my mouthy and the media)
I said: whuttttt?! You’re questioning Pixar?
LOL.
This is my drawing of Captain McCrea that I drew without looking references. I really have to work my drawing skills out.
Great Attempt Chef
Thanks Cap!
Well I really need more critiques though. Now I’m about to attempt by drawing Fluffy. No, I mean, Gus.
My recent sketching with shading. Thanks to Hannahmation and Mygames19 for the tips. Now I really have to kick some pencil’s butt.
Not bad. It’s not often I have seen side-profiles of character’s heads before. I like the details you’ve included, like the ‘old-person-spots’ on his temple (if anyone know the correct term for it, let me know). Your style seems to be quite angular and a bit reminscent of Captain Pan’s, but I think it’s distinguishable enough. I’ll have to go through your earlier artwork when I have more time, but keep improving!
Well, thanks TDIT. I really appreciate your comment.
TDIT: I believe you’re referring to liver spots. (odd name,…)
Excellent job chef, this looks a bit similar to the pic of Carl sitting on his bed in the Art of Up. Looks really great, and the shading you have is nice! Definitely a step up from before, keep it up!
Aah…that’s it. It is Carl. Using reference of Daniel Lopez Munoz’s sketching. I gotta say he’s a great character animator. Wow, I need to learn from him personally. Too bad he doesn’t tweet.
Oh, well, thanks ffdude1906! Guess I need to practice more of these. What book suitable book should I buy right now? Hannah said that Animators’ Survival Kit is pretty awesome.
Oh, chef, I KNOW! He’s got the most amazing pieces in that book, he’s definitely my favorite artist. Some of those pictures, especially the digital renders, are incredible. Such an impressive artist, he’s awesome.
Well, I have those thingey (that animator uses to sketch using stylus pen on a pad, I dunno wha is that, really) that I borrowed from my friend, it’s hard to use, but I think I’m gonna work out with gouache-style drawing. Sounds like Lou is back!
Thanks ffdude, term was on the tip of my brain…
They’re called ‘Graphics Tablets’ wannabechef, but we digital artist folks usually call it by the predominant brand Wacom (much like a carbonated drink is called Coke). They’re a bit difficult to get used to at first, and are not exactly ‘cheap’, but if you can afford one, they’re a good substitute to the mouse.
And The Animator’s Survival Kit is like the bible to every animator. I don’t own one, but I’ve had a read from the library and my friend has a copy, and it’s a good reference when you’re figuring out those inbetweens and walk cycles. Richard Williams’ drawings and prose are nothing short of inspiring. If I have one qualm, is that the content is pretty disorganised, and it comes off more of a scrapbook than an instruction manual. But then again, animation can’t be ‘taught’, more like ‘demonstrated’ and through repeated experience. Practice, practice, practice!
I gotta have a look at Mr Munoz’s stuff. Sounds good from your discussions…
Sorry, back on topic. Thanks for taking my advice, keep on doodling!
