So the goal for this year is 210...the hope is I get to do this every day...and if I don't please don't take it personal. Also...I apologize in advance for the big toes. AP says I have nothing to be embarassed about...the it shows me as a complete man...not perfect...but human...it's not a complete line of BS...but there's a decent amount in there. Enjoy!
sometimes words just won't cut it...or i'm having trouble with words so i go to the sketching... Two seperate projects...a website for manuella and preproduction for the next kid's theme (the farmyard!)
sketching to sketch is fun...it's not mindless doodling (i'm pretty good at that)...sketching for fun pulls you in and gives you other possibilities...and the more you get into it the more ideas come into your head and you can't keep up so you have to put notes next to the messy sketches just so you can keep up. And when i say "you" I really mean "me"...but it's fun...and it's not on a deadline (except my own) and blah blah blah...i want to get back to sketching.
uhm...i spent all creative energy on the title....so there isn't much left to say...got some "watercolor pencils" and am trying them out...it seems like cheating...i can draw with these things and then add water?...part of the art of watercolor is knowing where and when to add color...and you're dealing with the whole water part.
but i'm cool with bypassing the whole skill aspect if it makes cool pictures...for now...
Briss came in on friday and we talked about the lobster puppet she's working on for us. She did a great job with the space chicken costumes so I'm looking forward to what she does with this. This sketch is just the starting point...Briss will add her own thing to it and eventually we get to the final idea. The arms are seperate so that the actor can put one of his hands in one to wave it around...and we'll attach the other one to the barn. Briss is coming in a couple of weeks with a mockup and then we'll get to the final puppet (this is her first time building a puppet so we need to work the kinks out before making the final). And then...professor clauu will be here!
So during the upcoming series (the Kingdom) we're giving a cd for parents to listen to...it'll have some talking (Kimbo and I) and some music. Along with the cd the packet will contain some games for the kids to play with. Here they are:
