Some stuff I had to Draw today...

This is my new. Fave thread!

^ You put periods. In weird places!

[Masato]

here is how that sketch turned out:

(BTW, that's cool you know Bill Plympton. He was a guest when I was at animation school, I loved his work. He showed us a short animated joke about marriage I remember that was hilarious, but I could never find it again; 2 very good looking young people at the alter, everything very idyllic. As soon as they say 'I do', their bodies INSTANTLY became fat and saggy and gross. He did it so funny man, the whole bit was likely less than 1 minute)



I had 7 of these frames to do that day (an easy day). I try to average about an hour a frame from start to finish. These ones are not so great but we were off to a late start and had to really hurry. SO nice to have crappy parts of the drawing but no one gives a fuck, lol. On deadline is ALWAYS > quality. I really got truckin at the end, most of these frames were done in about 30-40 minutes or less...

Here are a few more from the bunch:

Lol its my phone, doublles up characters on me a lot and when I ddouble the sppace I get a period.

More from the same client.

Dude calls me at 5pm SUNDAY NIGHT, and says he needs 36 color frames due for Monday 4pm. Average 1 hr per frame that's 36 hours of work in a 24 hr period!!

Luckily these frames are relatively simple (not too detailed), and he was happy with this scratchy kind of fast style. So I took the gig, put on the heat, and busted them all out in about 30 mins per frame.

Here are some of the better ones from the bunch:

More green glow I won't disclose any info about :) :







You can see my roughs... usually I try to find photo reference to use for a rough (faster, less exhausting than drawing), but for these ones because the client was happy with the rough style I decided to test myself and just draw them up from scratch. In the end it was actually much faster!! I should learn to trust myself more. I only used some photo ref for a couple of tricky frames (sometimes you can spend a long time working out a drawing, but can find an almost exact photo to just drop in and trace off - hard to know when its smart to draw, and when its smart to find reference. Depends on mood I guess):





There was no GIF requested, I just thought it would be funny to GIF these 2 frames, lol:

Here is the shot list for the job I have to do today (different client)

While the previous job was lucky in that each shot was relatively simple... see how much more complex these ones are:



These all have WAY more detail, plus can NOT be as sketchy in quality, as they are to be presented in a video format on a nice big TV. They must be bigger and more precisely done.

This one will be a bitch, lol

Here are the roughs...

I am really inspired to start using less photo reference. Obviously for some things its just way faster, but I think it will be way better in the long run if I can get better/faster at just drawing as much as possible from my mind

The dogs for instance... previously I would have ALWAYS used photo reference, but since training for the dog comic I'm making I want to test it for this job and draw every dog without reference.

- I love the style of the art.

I need to contract you for a tshirt design of Goku putting Superman in a gogo-plata. Goku will have a look of aloofness on his face. Superman will look like he has just answered a conundrum. The 2 of them being sucked into a black holes vortex, but it should have the feeling of their grasp on time is slipping away gingerly. Plus a smiling frog watching from inside the black hole vortex.

just kidding. Im guessing some people probably hit you up with some weirdly described nonsense. I might hit you up for tshirt work one day though

[Canuckster]

Are you fucking kidding me? I want that shirt nao! ^
