Disney & Hands part 4

So been a long weekend this week. Literally. And sigh* was working every single one of them. It could have been worse I guess. My mood was lifted momentarily when a raggedy homeless guy came into the shop and declared at, (rather than too,) the customers that they where 'supposed to be in the music industry'. After which he spat on the floor and stomped out. All because dogs aren't allowed in the shopping centre. (What does being in the music industry have to do with dogs??)


That three days of being in the music industry did not stop me however, from doing my Disney drawings and my Hands!!

This weekend i have focussed a small amount more not on just animation frames but character designs and concept works as well. In particular youll notice a lot of children from Toy Story 3. I have always struggled with designing appealing young characters. In doing these however i have learnt a lot about where i was going wrong. Proportions etc.
