Animation Art Show 2014
Here is my contribution for this years Animation Art Show 2014!
I knew from the start I wanted to create something traditionally this year, it had always been my plan to do a little watercolour of these guys, but with a one year old and another due any day now I just couldn't seem to psych myself up enough to actually make the time, dig out the watercolours and get any further than the sketching phase. I don't know about ye, but its been a while since I've actually painted anything... I spend all day drawing/painting on my Cintiq in work so my traditional skills are getting a bit rusty.
So after alllooot of procrastination, on the very day the new baby was due, knowing it was now or never I got out pencil and paper and jumped onto an old animation desk we have in Telegael and just started working on a drawing instead. To be honest I had a blast, Photoshop is great but nothing will ever beat a good ol' pencil and paper!
The final drawing is actually based on the very last drawing I did in 2013. I had other preliminary sketches done which you can see below but in the end I preferred this one. As it happens Neen was actually pregnant at the time I drew the preliminary sketch but we didn't know, so the image is extra special.
Oh and for whoever buys this at the Auction there is also a secret drawing hidden inside the frame as an extra bonus Thank You!
