What’s Your Favourite Animal?

What’s your favourite animal? It was hard trying to pick the perfect animal for ‘What’s Behind That Door?’. There was just so many choices. I thought about having the main character as a dog or a cat, but ruled this out because it was a little to over used. I wanted a character that would stand out, and one that is easy to draw. I ended up narrowing it down to two characters, a fox or a koala. They are both built with circle shapes, which helps a lot when drawing up the draft. I ended up asking my friends, and they all agreed that the fox was the better choice. Personally, I liked the fox because it’s colours really stuck out, making it the focus of the illustration. So, What’s your favourite character? Feel free to leave a comment below.

Time For a speed draw!

Hi, I’m back with another speed draw from my new book ‘What’s behind that door?’. In this illustration I wanted to try a different pose with the main character instead of just standing in front of a door. I really liked drawing this one because it challenged me to think of how to show gravity. I’d love to try this exercise again sometime.

Time for another speed draw!

Hey! I’m back with another speed draw! Today I’m looking at changes and revisions. First idea’s don’t always work and that’s ok. You want to experiment anyway. Sometimes the first picture I drew was fine, and I kept it at that, other times I’d start drawing something but then find out that it works better on another page with different text. Change is part of the development process so don’t be afraid to embrace it. It helps you grow as both an artist and as a person. Sometimes when I look back on some of my old work, I internally cringe. There’s so much I’d change, and some work I’d scrap completely. We are our worst critics, I’m sure in another 5 years I’m going to look back at my work now and cringe again. The good thing about cringing is that is shows growth, you have grown from that skill set you used to have and bettered yourself.

If you could open a door to anywhere, where would you go?

If you could open a door that leads anywhere, where would you go? Feel free to comment in the section below. I’d love to have one of those doors like in Howls moving Castle where you can pick different a different location each time. How cool would that be! I think I might have one door that leads to the library, another to the beach, maybe one that leads to the city. That would be helpful when catching up with friends! You’d just open one door instead of having to take the train in.

Time For another Speed Draw!

Hey, I’m back with another speed draw! Today I want to talk about colours! Colouring in an illustration can one of the most fun yet frustrating things. What worked for me, is before even starting, I made a quick model sheets of the main characters and locked in the colours and design. Feel free to try all sorts of colours. Personally, I love bright and/or pastel colours, I like how it helps the line work stand out, but that’s just my personal taste. Once I had the main character’s colours locked in, I found it easier top pick the background colours. I needed the background colours to be darker than the main character so the main character would stand out. Where I could, I put colours into different layers so I could change it if it didn’t fit in with the others. Colour pallets help a lot when illustrating, I only had the fox’s colours since it was the only reoccurring character. Consistency is super important both in animation and illustration, especially if the image (or frame) is a follow up of the one before.

Anyway, What’s your favourite colour? Do you have just one or lots? Feel free to leave a comment in the section below.
