pencil envy

[ginasketch]

Sigh. I'm so tired. I've just coloured loads of animation and it looks really wobbly. I'm not about to give up, but I'm near close to screaming and throwing my lightdesk against the wall. I wish I could animate as solidly as Glen Keane does (I realize that's asking alot.) I really need to practice, but due to NEWI's unreasonable deadlines I hardly have time.

I mean, look at how solid his drawings of Pocahontas are. I know the film isn't great and certainly not historically accurate, but I could watch the way her hair moves forever. Its animated so exquisitely.

As opposed to my crud: Cleaned up frame. Sigh...back to colouring.

I guess it's something from practice - you should see what I drew yesterday as my first attempt using a tablet. :S

oooh i hate tablets! I can never draw right with them. They feel too..."loose."

Exactly! Loose is definately it for me.

And I cant seem to get confident enough to do smooth bright lines, and if I try they just break up. I hope it's just practice. I still have my lightbox, though, so if its just my spacky hands I'll be ok :)
