Of all Gobelins films, this is my favourite. The music and the animation are combined so good, also together with the colours, and I just get shivers all over. The characters are great too, and everything is just so smooth that I don’t even know where to go or what to do, I just…

Drown in this. This is what I want to do.

Ahh this was wonderful ;u;

wannabeanimator: Drawing the differences in ages 1. The size and angularity of the neck and shoulders: Babies start out with thick necks, but then by the time we’re 5 or 6 our necks seem to look pretty skinny (at least I’ve found it seems to look that way in drawings). Our shoulders, obviously, start out small and get broader and broader as we get older (this is more apparent in men than in women, of course). Also I made a conscious effort to make his shoulders start out rounded and get more angular as he ages. If I’d kept going, drawing this guy into old age, I would have made the shoulders start to shrink (and get more rounded again) as he aged.  2. The relation of the mouth to the chin: I simply made the mouth get further away from the chin as he ages, to give a feeling of a jaw that develops as he gets older. Also I made the jawline stronger and more angular with each successive age. 3. The amount of upturn in the nose: I made it turned up more in the younger drawings, and made it less so over time.  4. The size of the forehead: We have a bigger forehead when we’re young, and it diminishes proportionally over time.  5. The chubbiness of the cheeks: most of us have less fat in our cheeks as we age. via Temple of the Seven Golden Camels

Drawing the differences in ages

1. The size and angularity of the neck and shoulders: Babies start out with thick necks, but then by the time we’re 5 or 6 our necks seem to look pretty skinny (at least I’ve found it seems to look that way in drawings). Our shoulders, obviously, start out small and get broader and broader as we get older (this is more apparent in men than in women, of course). Also I made a conscious effort to make his shoulders start out rounded and get more angular as he ages. If I’d kept going, drawing this guy into old age, I would have made the shoulders start to shrink (and get more rounded again) as he aged.

 2. The relation of the mouth to the chin: I simply made the mouth get further away from the chin as he ages, to give a feeling of a jaw that develops as he gets older. Also I made the jawline stronger and more angular with each successive age.

3. The amount of upturn in the nose: I made it turned up more in the younger drawings, and made it less so over time.

 4. The size of the forehead: We have a bigger forehead when we’re young, and it diminishes proportionally over time.

 5. The chubbiness of the cheeks: most of us have less fat in our cheeks as we age.

dresdencodak: kalidraws: Today I gave my students a quick presentation on some of the basic considerations for composition, which I am now sharing with you! I’ve given them separate talks about color and tonal value/contrast, which are also super important compositional concerns. (I’ll be sharing those presentations too once I properly format them) I personally love learning about different compositional techniques. It’s fun to think about the ways that the brain views & sorts images, and how we can trick it into feeling a certain way or looking at certain aspects of an image first! It’s easy to fall into compositional ruts (which I am also guilty of) because a lot of art gets by with mediocre, though serviceable, compositions. If you can generally understand what’s happening in an image then it’s generally fine. However, it’s the truly great compositions, where everything in the whole image has been considered and ‘clicks’ together, that bump up an illustration to a visual slam dunk. NC Wyeth is one of my favorite artists for this reason: his compositions are rock solid, varied based on the image’s intent, and always enhance the mood or action he is depicting. For extra reading, some online compositional resources that I’ve found helpful or interesting include:Creative Illustration by Andrew Loomis (download it for FREE. Such a great book all-around.)Gurney Journey (check out the “Composition” tag, but really everything he posts is great)The Schweitzer guide to spotting tangentsCinemosaic (a blog by Lou Romano with some truly WONDERFUL compositions captured from various films)Where to Put the Cow by Anita Griffin Happy composition-ing! A solid breakdown of the fundamentals of composition, complete with examples! Another great read regarding animation/drawing. Even if you dont like drawing its worth a read.
