no revisions yet, lol
What I hate about this work is that its a very forced style that I have had to learn to do that is not really natural or fun for me. There is a successful style that works well for this kind of ad presentation work, but it was very difficult for me to learn, and still don't feel comfortable.
Also speed is such a part of the game, I am always rushing, and I can't really spend any time refining things or making them look better; there is just no time for this, so the work always comes out a little crappy
My tendency is to draw more cartoony, to exaggerate and have fun with the shapes and lines, but that doesn't sell well for this needs. That's why I used so many photo references, to train myself to learn to draw natural proportions of things.
I should have done it with the dogs for instance, especially in that last frame. It would have been better for the client if I had traced real photos of the dogs - this looks way too cartoony.
My dream is to get out of this industry where I can have more freedom to do my own style. I never get a chance to practise or discover it, in truth I don't even really know HOW I would draw if I could do it my own way. I really hope to develop this well before I'm dead.
