I've seen it a few days ago and thought I should share with you and post it but never found the time to do it... so... here is a very nice video reference made by Disney's animator - Bobby Pontillas.
I remember watching his wonderful work while he was still a student at AM, and loving it.

I really love the way he's thinking who is the character he needs to animate, what it feels and how it should react, giving it the body language and gestures of a little girl (and I won't be surprised to know he watched his niece or daughter to get some ideas :)

Enjoy his work!

A little test of technique

Tried painting in a different technique. I don't feel very strong about it but I'll give it a go anyway.

What do you think?

Cloudy 2 Is Almost Here!

After seeing the first one, and absolutely LOVING IT, I can't wait to see the second one which will soon be here.

Here are two clips from the movie...

Is it a rhino? Is it a dinosaur? well... it's practice

It really isn't matter, I just wanted to try and change my working technique while coloring, less cartoony with line arts, and more shadows and highlights....

What do you think?

Boulder - my character for the X-Men competition

I've decided to participate in a competition of making a new X-Men character.
Here are a few drawing phases (roughly skipped I'm afraid) I was going through from sketch to the final drawing.
I admit, if only I had some more time I would keep on going and add some more details).


Phase 1: Sketching with my tablet straight to the computer, trying to get an interesting form while keeping a clear silhoutte as possible.




Phase 2: After making the basic lines I added blocks of color to the different parts using the artline.




Phase 3: Adding more details and especially shadows and highlights.




Phase 4: Smoothing the shadows and highlights and tweaking the saturation and hues.





Phase 5: Combining the background and adding little effects to better the composition
