Adam Cartwright! My favorite man in black. Been working on these for quite a bit, I want to draw the whole Bonanza cast but I thought I'd start by studying their faces, beginning with my favorite. Pernell Roberts portrayed Adam with such nuance and depth, he was just magnetic. Also he was crazy attractive, so there's that too.
Here's a bunch of facial expressions I've made over the past couple years that I find enjoyable. I may not like my art a lot but I do love facial expressions 🤣
don't get me wrong, everything in Trolls Band Together is animated amazingly, but Velvet's facial expressions are priceless. she's so expressive and perfectly animated to show the audience what emotion she's feeling. I love how some of her expressions look like a classic angry rubber hose face, too.
huge props to the animators for this amazing (but underappreciated) detail.
Happy #AniMonday ! For this pencil test I was figuring out how to transition between facial expressions with such a quirky design. It was a fun challenge, and like always I loved working with such amazing Blue Sky studios designers.
