In BUD we trust

Grab a cooler, sit back and have fun watching this

This is a great piece of animation done by Rob Lilly.

I dig his style and i really want to give it a try and start working on a short animation movie using that technique.

Here is the link of the blog where i found the video:http://beermebro.blogspot.com/

work in progress

i wanted to finish this drawing by valentine's day...oops. It will do for next year i guess!

please feel free to give your feed back.

Japanese "bubble"

Wait...Kim Jong II...for... Hatoyama...it...

The historic duel between japan which inflates its "bubble" and north korea which always tries to bother...

I was picky to have Kim Jong II try to pop the bubble with a rocket but i thought after all that a finger could be as offensive as a weapon...depends on the finger...anyway it works the same.

Enjoy it.

share a dream

Lately i've had a hard time with my artwork struggling with a lack of skills and lack of confidence.

I have been trying many techniques but yet i never really felt like i could do any good and i would usually give up from frustration not finishing or dash the drawing off.

So i decided to focus on what i really wanted to draw and stick to it to feel good then draw good.

Actually i have always been into animation. i even took classes while studying basic drawing 10 years ago but i never pushed it to a professional level thinking that i wasn't good enough and eventually i quit drawing.

It is only 1 year ago when Kage gave me the opportunity to get back to drawing and taught me the art of caricature introducing artist like Stephen Silver or Pete Emslie that i realized that this passion for animation hasn't died and thanks to their inspiration i could work my way back to what i like drawing.

Therefore i decided to brush up my skills and seriously study character design style to one day make my dream come true.

This is my first artwork of the year using character design style.

the drawing is actually in progress and will be completed with an additional character and a gag that explains why Kim Jong II is raising his finger like this so wait for it...

Your comments are always appreciated so feel free.

happy family

3/4 view issue

I don't know if you noticed but i tend to avoid drawing 3/4 view. In fact almost all of my live sketches are front views.

Well i wish i could say that i do have my reasons but i don't.

I just suck at it so i always go for a good old safe front view.

But the front view has its limits in term of exaggeration and the 3/4 view offers much more angles to play with so i decided to challenge my self for a change.

I actually found a good way to spare me some shame or reject by doing my experiment on coworker's customers performing a service gift. great success

Please feel free to post your feedback.

X'mas gift idea

Here is a banch of drawings requested with asakusa background wearing a white X'mas coat.

I usually struggle to draw from picture in a retail style(only 15 to 20 mins to complete the sketch) because it takes longer to my brain to work on the 3rd dimension missing on the pictures but i am quit satisfy how this series turned out so please enjoy it.
