A couple weeks ago I noticed that the piles of fashion magazines in my apartment were taking over and getting to be pretty overwhelming. So last weekend while I was sick in bed, I tore them all up and made a giant book of all the best photos. I divided them up into people with interesting faces, people in funny positions, and people with interesting shapes, colors, hairstyles, and clothes. So far it's been really useful, and fun to look at! Here are some sample pages of some cute, unique, and funny faces and poses.
I guess if I'd been smarter I would have divided up the sections a little better...and perhaps made a section for dificult angles, and a section for cool profiles. Anyhow, after I finished destroying all the magazines in the house, I sat down and drew a whole bunch of these awe-inspiring girly girls. Hopefully the drawings will be half as amusing to you guys as the photo reference is to me.
Hi again!I've been really busy lately! A while back Weird Al Yankovic contacted my old boss John K., asking him if he'd be interested in doing an animated music video for one of his new songs. The song is really catchy and funny...and it's about girls! John asked me to help out, so for the past few weeks we've been designing, boarding, and laying out the cartoon.Because the number of people working on it right now is so small, we've been using early Betty Boop cartoons as inspiration on how to make it simple, yet super silly and fun to look at. Hopefully it'll turn out that way! Here are some Grim Natwick inspired dance poses.
The layout system we're using has been really fun so far. I've had the honor of cleaning up John's rough scenes, and he's been nice enough to clean up mine. The dance poses above are mostly a combination of my roughs with John's clean up. I want to post some of John's original layouts soon, but perhaps I should ask him first!
Above is a funny picture of me pitching some of the gags in the cartoon to Mr. Yankovic himself! He was super nice, and even laughed despite my feeble pitching abilities. Hooray for Weird Al, he is nice!
I'm going to visit my folks in Nevada tomorrow, which means I get to go visit my best friend from highschool!! Em is great! She's super funny and smart, and looks like a cute cartoon girl. Actually, she reminds me of a Nick Cross girl (I always think of her when I watch his film "The Red Scarf"). Anyhow, I was excited about getting to see her again, so I drew a picture of her.
Not much to say about these other doodles...the one above is me trying to force myself to use the color purple, which I personally hate for unknown reasons. I understand that it can look good in a nice color scheme, but I can't figure it out yet. If anyone reading this understands color, explain it to me!
