Santa has to practice climbing in and out of chimneys, so I designed his house to have multiple chimneys of all sorts of shapes and sizes to squeeze in and out of.
I tried many color variations on this one. This is the one I like best. I think the orange sky and the blue ground work nicely together with the colors of the workshop.
This is from a project in developement. The director has a very specific vision of what she wants the art style to look like. I tryed to make it look a lot like the art of the late great Disney designer Mary Blair.
Feet, feet feet. Practice, practice practice. Reminds me of a scene from Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID when Ariel first gets her feet. The shot is very similar to this one.
I purposely distorted her proportions. I added about 40 pounds to her lower half. I'll try doign this again in another sketch, and exagerate the distortion even more.
I didn't like the feet in the first few sketches , they seemed to stiff compared to the curves and flowing lines of the rest of the sketch. So I did this to get the same feel in the feet as the rest of the sketch. If I have trouble drawing a certain thing, feet in this case, I will keep drawing that thing until I get it.
