Going Kiwi on animation paper y'all!





Hola amigos and amigas!

How's everyone doing? I hope everyone is having a kewl weekend! So the other day at six point, my new pals trevor spencer, andrea fernandez and myself had a conversation about art, and how it's hard to find a sketchbook that has that "right" feel when drawing on it. Trevor mentioned that he usually draws on loose sheets of paper, especially animation paper. I mentioned to him I never drew on that kind of paper before, "he's all you never did? You gotta try it! " So the cool guy that Trevor is, went to get some out of his bag and gave me some. I was excited as hell and after work, I sat at my desk and drew....and man....did it feel good! Really good! So I'm sharing what I sketched that night.

Other things I'm sharing is the cool piccy of a smile it up card, taken in the kiwi country New Zealand by the awesome jez tuya. Thanks A lot man that's really cool pic! where is it at exactly? I love the floating globe there lol. Other things is my new profile piccy and a sketch of a dude name dave, and his little mean dog name killer. Well that's it from here...oh I bought some envelopes for the sketchcards, so hold tight homies! Oh and a BIG BIG thank you for all of you who started and continue to follow the blog. Thank you very much. OH OH annnd I got my my blog linked on the awesome awesome skottie young's blog!!!! That made my day, shoot the whole year!!! Thanks Skottie! I've been a fan since way back in the day.

SMILE IT UP!

ye ole m00k!

@ Wayne, good seeing new posts again! How's things? You're absolutely right about about animation paper, that's all I ever draw on! Of course, we're expecting more posts now ....

Fabian said...

I heard that the best sketchbook to draw is the one that does not cost much and has no special paper for then you are free to make a what ever you want without being "afraid" to draw in it. Still, wonder what kind of sketchbook you guys found.
Amazing blog you have, you have really awesome style! I will follow you. :)

Great blog! I cafe sketch in a canson univeral 9x12 but for concepts or characters I take out a pad of newsprint and a drawing board! I love the big pages!

George Bletsis said...

Nice, really smooth lines - animation paper is great to draw on isn't it? Now if I could only find something as smooth, that can take some paint, I'd be a very happy man!
