Send in the elves!

Happy December everybody! I love doing holiday inspired designs. For this month, I'll be drawing a different elf for each day of December. This is going to be fun : )

Today, it's an elf working in the candy cane department.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The many expressions of "Jinxy"

A character's expressions is one of the quickest ways for an audience to connect with that character in my opinion. This is why it's so crucial to explore and experiment with your character's facial expressions. Often, a production could have pages upon pages of just facial expressions alone. This is helps the animation team understand how expressive this character is and then they can show it through the finished animation to the audience.

Meet "Jinxy" - the black cat

This is "Jinxy". He's a "familiar", aka: assistant, to a very powerful witch. His role is primarily to convene with local fairy folk like gnomes, fairies and the like. He also gathers ingredients for his mistress's potion needs aside from being good company to her.

My happy place

A little pen doodle I did last night of my happy place. Took about 2 hours.

Random poses for fun

Designing characters is fun but making them act us even more fun and can get really challenging. Every character or environment design ever made is simply made of shapes. The magic of design begins with shapes!

More pen fun : )

Another pen doodle. Happy Sunday Everybody!

Pen doodle

I really love sketching with a simple black ballpoint pen. It's funny that only a couple of years ago, I would've been too afraid of using a permanent medium since it can't be erased if I make a mistake. For anybody looking to take their art to the next level, try using a permanent medium for your next creation. It's an excellent way of building confidence in your skills and vision : )
