After I posted my letter about starting a new job at Dreamworks I got a lot of messages and emails from people asking if I could talk about my journey more in detail and how I got here despite going to school in Pittsburgh for psychology and almost giving up on animation halfway through college. I know that I would have appreciated reading something like this a year and a half ago so I thought I’d share my story in the hopes that it might be able to help someone who is struggling. Plus: a detailed explanation of how social media has done so much for me as an artist.
lucky you I drew a sort of half-baked guide on beak faces a while ago for my patreon supporters! I figure it’s been long enough since I posted it there for me to put it up here- all this is just how I do it, it’s not like I’ve been taught how to!
fyi I draw little how to guides like this as part of the 20 dollar reward tier, and I do take requests! normally I leave these just on patreon but I get this kind of ask a lot! so here you go
Hi! I figured out a shortcut for perspective with the pen tool (and a quick instruction on how to draw straight lines) in Photoshop.
As happy as I am to see people gain the confidence to try out backgrounds, I should mention that it takes more than a trick to draw good BGs. I urge you all to try to learn it properly through research and draw from observation. Thomas Romain has a good batch of incredibly detailed, in-depth look into perspective on his twitter. I also learned at lot from Perspective! For Comic Book Artist by David Chelsea, it really is a must have for all types of BG work. Work hard and good luck!
Bit late to the party but I’ve been playing Kingdom Hearts Union a lot lately.
I’ma tap-tappin’ everything on my phone, even the non-tappable things
So here’s a gif of the character I play as doing about the same :’D
Drew some Hogwarts AU Prison babies
Alan’s too temperamentful NOT to be a Gryff and my boy Jean gets to be a ‘puff! (Lizanne is actually a Ravenclaw and totally into Quidditch but I can’t quite get the pose right I have in mind for her)
