Disney and expressions

By Anonymous

 What I have recently learned about the Walt Disney animation studio is that Walt told his team of animators that exaggeration is key. A great example of this is in Disney's first full length feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The seven dwarfs' expressions are what drives their personalities. Lets take Grumpy for instance. When you see him he is really grumpy. His arms are pretty much always crossed and he has his eyebrows narrowed pretty much all the time. In conclusion, expressions and exaggerations are a must when animating how a character feels.

    I've seen this in everyday life. People are much harder to read now that you can't see the expressions they're making. Good stuff

    I love Disney's style of animation. After creating an animation of my own I now appreciate animated pieces more.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

By
This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

By Anonymous
 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
