Linkage!

http://artofdisney.canalblog.com/

A site with many disney/pixar animation images that I've never seen before. There are layouts and production work and maquettes and even some animation--stuff that represents a huge body of work from Bambi to Wall-E. The site is in French, but don't let it stop you! Totally worth a look. I do wish that they labeled the work with the artist, though, particularly with the concept drawings done for The Aristocats, which seems very different from the other films.

Enchanted





Ratatouille

PS please definitely check out the "Enchanted" section if you're like me. I'm going nuts over the art nouveau inspiration. gorgeous!

Old....Really Old



when i was younger i used to love making "board games" and mazes. i like how toward the finish it seems like i started getting desperate and making every square a penalty.

i also used to doodle a lot of dream treehouses, and HUGE extended families of people and horses. oh, and invent pokemon and their evolutionary stages. but that's for another day.

doodles at Denny's

guh....I was trying to lifesketch at Denny's but it was getting awkward drawing friends, so I doodled random stuff instead....like FAT UNICORNS:

yea yeaaaaa I totally was thinking of clio chiang's fat unicorn when i drew the top one. same pose. but I couldn't think of anything else to draw, for some reason.



PS. the one in the bottom right is not flatulent, he just sat on daisies.

see, i pay attention in animal drawing... SCM!



...and then something really scary:


The head came first. Then my friend Ellen was all like, "Put her on a horse's body!"
and I thought it was a FINE idea

Whoooo Game 1 of the NBA finals is tomorrow, which also means some cafe (or bar) sketching...two birds with one stone!


Also, for some reason my scanner is always making these little lines on all my scans now. I'm totally baffled. Crap scanner? time to get a new one?



:C

one of the things that drew me to Victorian pigs as an animation concept was the clothing. I LOVE Victorian clothing, so elegant and intricate! So besides trying to animate over the summer, I also want to do some more concept art/illustrations with the Pigs, just to explore more of the clothing and architecture. I'm excited (:



(like this dress! gorgeous. it was one of the first images that popped up when i googled "victorian dress")

just for fun

Just a photoshop doodle. trying to find a comfortable painting style.



hey, this is the first art-oriented blog that I've been pretty consistent with! (:
Usually I say I'm going to do daily posts and then end up posting every 6 months.
Hopefully this one will be different.

daaarr so many other things to do. for now it's: organize my room (eek ._.), start building a children's book illustration portfolio, work on animating, wait for news.
BTW for those who applied to Disney, I gave them a nervous call yesterday and they said that they're running late with the selection process, so they will probably let people know next week. So...yea.

post-it doodle dump

I meant to post this a while ago.....whoops.

This is what happens when I get bored in class...these are from my animal drawing final critique, which wasn't boring, per se...but at times it was more like individual evaluations so my mind started wandering.

yay for post-its! and random bags!

3 Page Comic

Here's my final project for sequential art. The assignment was for a 3-page comic, but alas I couldn't fit my story into so few pages. It's probably not very understandable, since it's like a fragment instead of a sentence. Hopefully the last page will clarify things a little. I don't know if I'll be able to finish it, but it was fun... I'm not quite satisfied with the first two pages. Feedback, please! if you care to give it (:

work progress!

cleaned up victorian pigs for animation:




and the red car:


I think i'm pretty much going to stop here with this. thanks for the feedback! (:
there are still issues but I am crunched for time. May fix the ground later if I have time.


this week is crazy!

car frustrations!



please tell me what you think?

it's oddly dissatisfying to me. I still have to change some parts/add dust...but I can't figure it out.
It's only slightly different (in my mind) but I think I still liked it better before photoshop crashed.

Oh yea, I'll fix the people.

and this was my inspiration. Kinda. :
