words & pictures: Make something today →

Artist confessions - ' Undeserving '
Really, this is my fault for letting my morbid sense of curiosity get the better of me and clicking on artist-confessions to read the posts. Every time I see what young artists are writing about each other it actually gets me depressed.

Tyler Carter produced and directed this beautiful short at BYU’s Center for Animation. It features a sublime use of 2D and CG techniques with spectacular effects animation. The story is good too. For a behind the scenes making-of video, click here. -cartoonbrew

penciltests: And here’s a fun clip about Glen Keane’s process for improving the animation on Tangled. He would draw over the shot as a reference for the animators so they could push the animation to be as good as it can be.

nikipaprika asked: After seeing the latest post, I feel a bit down. I hope he goes far, but I'm annoyed at teenage self wasting away those years drawing sub par "anime" drawings.

penciltests: Here’s a fun one. A “Fred Moore girl” animated by Ollie Johnston in the early 40s. It’s assumed it was for a propaganda film of some sort for the US troops. Not the kind of stuff you normally get to see from Disney artists.

Do as I say, not as I do
bobbypodesta: Writing posts about philosophies on leading, my own past experiences, and things that have worked for me is great… for me.  But for anyone else out there in the world who might be reading these posts, there is really only one sure thing you can get from them; what works for me will not work for you.  Not to be a downer, but this is what I mean… Each one of us makes a trillion...
