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!

July 24, 2021June 22, 2021Leave a comment

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.

Inspiration

July 17, 2021June 22, 2021Leave a comment

Today I thought that it would be a nice change to talk about the inspiration behind my project ‘What’s Behind That Door?’. After finishing my animation degree, I was lost. Instead of walking off the graduation stage into a job I found myself in a corridor filled with doors. Literally. Haha, but jokes aside, at first, I was so scared to open a new door, I was scared of what could be on the other side. Eventually it got easier to knock on doors. ‘What’s the worst that can happen?’ I tell myself. The worst that could happen is not getting a reply or getting a ‘no’, and that’s it! But, that’s not the end. Just because one door didn’t open, it doesn’t mean another won’t. There are lots of doors so it doesn’t hurt to give it a try, and who knows, some doors surprise will you in ways you’ll never expect. There are always new doors around us to discover and explore, we’ve just got to start searching. Even when I don’t hear anything back, or the door I try doesn’t open, I don’t regret it because I know that I’ve given it a try. Anyway, getting off topic, I just wanted to encourage you to try new things and new opportunities no matter how small or how scary it might be. You are amazing and special so don’t let that little anxiety monster tell you that you can’t do this, or you’re not qualified enough to knock on that door. You can do this so why not give it a try?
