I promise I'm not being lazy...I had a sketch explosion yesterday and didn't actually finish the finished one for today...If I can get it done before 2:00am then I'll publish it, but if not I'll just publish two tomorrow.
These were just some quick sketches from yesterday. I have some from my sketchbook too and I might upload those later. The first is
Princess Tiana from Disney's upcoming
The Princess and the Frog. Just wanted to try my hand at her, although final character art hasn't really come out for her yet.
The second is another story idea I'm working on. This is
Guinevere. Just trying some costume things. I think I need a new tip for my tablet because the lines are coming out all wonky.
Lots of princess stuff right now. Yes, I know I'm obsessed and I really do want to move on. When
John Hendrix was here a while ago, he said to try and distance myself away from drawing in that obviously recognizable manga/disney style (which then leads to the question, um, then what do I do?) because animation companies aren't interested if you can draw in their style but if you can think and "draw the walls out" or just be pretty damn good.
While I want to push my own visual vocabulary,
Tanya, my wonderful painting teacher, says that the only way to get through obsession is to work through it. It works with relationships, it will certainly work for Disney princesses. The big eyes and pinched waists are staying, for now, but I'm really going to try for some inanimate objects and backgrounds. And how bout some male characters huh? (I don't think yesterday's counts).
