had the creative juices going and instead of applying it to Disney Princess I made one of the Master Disney Artist's "Jeff" into a southpark character and Stephane into a drunk cartoon character, i fear Stephane's revenge will be swift and painful hahaha

Painting Class

2008-03-10T19:03:00.000-07:00

Just got out of another painting class with Bob Kato. This one was very challenging. I was zoomed in close on the face 90% of the time and before i new it, i zoomed out and it looks like a Haunted Mansion Marc Davis style painting. It is not what the reference looks like but i am happy with it.

today was a crazy busy day. I am back on Maya Mickey Mouse Club House Character art/ Today I worked on a Donald kicking a football.

My 1st sketch drawing class at Disney

2008-02-29T15:02:00.000-08:00

here are a few of my first sketches in this drawing class. Every Friday afternoon during lunch time, Bob Kato brings in a model in various outfits to pose while we do 5-15 minutes sketches. I never have tried this before so Bob was nice enough to give me some pointers before I got started.

Monday Night Photoshop Painting Class

2008-02-29T14:39:00.000-08:00

Every Monday evening Bob Kato (who teaches at Pasadena Art Center College) teaches us how to do traditional painting in photoshop. This is a piece I did from a photo. I have never painted this type of style s I was a little lost in the class but with some helpful hints from Bob I got my creative "magic" flowing and I left the call with this. I am trying to not get intimidated by all the super talent we have in the class.
