Made basic beginners guide to using the camera in storyboards. the gist being the camera is for revealing information & telling the story. Obviously there's exceptions to this, but when you're just starting out trying to get these ideas down first before moving on to crazier dynamic stuff. 1/4

every artist should study maquettes. It's hard to find them irl, but places like sketchup and artstation often have 3d-rotate-able sculpts for you to study. I try to envision everything I draw in this way

a brownish clay sculpture of Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet. She's a cat-like woman wearing a nautical uniforma brownish clay sculpture of the main antagonist from the Boxtrolls, his name escapes me right now. He's a spindly looking man with exaggeratedly thin spider-like limbs, a long face, and a huge hata brownish clay sculpture of one of the characters from Disney's The Sword In The Stone, the older knight who trains Wart by making him do chores. He's wearing a large metal breastplate and has a huge moustachea brownish clay sculpture of an official looking woman with short hair, who clutches some papers and lowers her glasses at you.

is there a version of PureRef, but a 3D program where you can rotate OBJs or something with a highly minimal interface? @pureref.bsky.social I think I've asked before but I'm not sure I remember the response we need to bring back maquettes as an animation aid

a small clay sculpture 'maquette' of Miguel from The Road to El Dorado

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

I was so touched by all the kind messages I received yesterday. It has given me a lot of encouragement for what will now be a big swing: My next animated project will be the first episode of a gothic horror interpretation of the Nutcracker called "Clara and the Below."
