Kept up the drawing routine this week with more Pixar stuff. Here ye! Here ye!
To collect these sketches in one place, I’ve started a Drawings page. It sure is a challenge to learn new things — some days I feel like I know what I’m doing, and some days I feel like I’m completely wasting my time and I’ll never be good enough at this. Yet, my better senses tell me to just keep going. Each time I feel like I figure out a new shape or notice a new detail or technique. And there is a simple joy in watching a character or familiar object start to come to life. The routine brings me a steady dose of smiles on the next day when it’s a delight to see the artwork laying around my apartment with fresh eyes — It exudes a certain sense of joy along with a mini sense of accomplishment. Most of these drawings were drawn from looking at a similar image or pose, I think the next step is to take the character and try to come up with unique situations. Maybe Elastigirl doing yoga? Carl playing golf? Mike Wazowski eating pasta? Things like that.
