Been wanting to draw some fanart for Poor George MAP since it's my favorite one, and because it was its anniversary recently, I finally did it :>
ID: A digital drawing in two panels with characters from Warriors. In the panel above, there's Yellowfang watching Brokenkit play with a moss ball, she looks endearingly at the little kit; they're in a green environment and plants surround them. In the panel below, Yellowfang is in the same possition, looking down at an adult Brokenstar at her feet, already dead, she looks sorrowful. Fireheart is by her side, looking at her with compassion. They're at ThunderClan's medicine den.
Check out my "The Animator's Survival Kit" studies! I did a great deal of these lessons in 2008, recreated the book from page 1 to 125 and now I am going to start posting them here! Enjoy! Here is my "Timing & Spacing" study. Understanding the difference between Slow In/Slow Out and even spacing. - Lavalle Lee
i feel like a Ton of therians, alterhumans, nonhumans, & otherkin would get a kick out of Meadow~
it's basically a virtual world where you're a woodland critter and you just hang out & find collectables, and you communicate via emotes & pictographs + it's super pretty :3
you go into animation thinking hell yeah I'm going to learn animation and then learning animation is learning to recognise a gay man by how he walks behind walls
What kind of books do you most enjoy reading? And what are some of your favourites?
A bit ashamed to say I don't read as much anymore :( but I did use to read a lot when I was in elementary and high school. I enjoyed fantasy novels, but these days I'd been into art books.
I grew up on Magic Treehouse and Animorphs (ayeee Scholastic books gang), and then started Harry Potter after watching the first film and dove WAYYY deep into a hole I'd been living in since my sophomore year. (Rowling's dialogue writing style inspired mine.) I also grew up with a lot of mythos knowledge thanks to Percy Jackson.
I rarely bought physical books since starting college, but I'm enjoying The Animator's Survival Kit a whole lot these days. It's more than just a resource textbook, I'll tell you that much!
Special mentions: The Seven Wonders by Peter Lerangis, Holes by Louis Sachar, Animal Farm by George Orwell, and the first three books Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I also really enjoyed The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare. That one came outta left field, but I love it.
This book was a recent buy, and on total impulse as I have no previous interest in animation. Most interesting art-related book I have ever started. I am *obsessed*.
"But we can learn to draw. There's the myth that you are either born draftsman or not. Wrong! Obviously, natural talent is a great help and the desire is essential, but drawing can be taught and drawing can be learnt. It's best to have done a ton of it at art school to get the foundation in early. But it can be done at any time. Just do it."
