Milton Knight's Sonic

 Growing up I absolutely loved the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog show. We had a channel that would show various sonic the hedgehog show episodes in random orders, They included Adventures of Sonic (1992), Sonic the hedgehog (1993) and Sonic underground (1999). While I loved them all Adventures was always my favorite because of the strong Looney Tunes inspiration it took, I eventually gave up on the sporadic tv order and bought the dvd box set. 

On this box set it included these bonus features with the main artist involved with this show Milton Knight. I re watched these short tutorial videos constantly and i reckon they had a pretty big impact on my art, I was fascinated by his quick and loose drawing style and tried to emulate it.




looking back what i really like is how he really doesn't draw them on model with the games or existing media, he really just did his own thing which makes them feel iconic, unique and undeniably his own take.

He now runs a Patreon where he seems to be free to draw and paint whatever he wants, I hope he is doing well as he brought me a lot of joy as a kid growing up. here's some examples of his phenomenal contemporary work...





fantastic image of his studio and his work!

Pres Romanillos

 Saw these great pictures today, shared by Paul Briggs on twitter of Pres Romanillos animation desk, which I believe is now on display at the Walt Disney studio. Just look at those carvings!  Pres was a phenomenal artist and we lost him far too soon! I discovered him and his work after he had passed away though I’m very glad I got to grow up watching his work.  Here’s some photos of a book I own of his work, I love the way he could draw the figure, so much gesture and believable weight. Rest in peace Pres, and thanks for you wonderful art!

New Tools - Procreate Dreams!

So this week procreate released their latest app, Procreate Dreams. I've been very excited for the potential of this software. I use Procreate daily and they’ve really set a precedent as one of the best artists tools out there, so it’s so exciting to see them turn that high quality potential to an animation focused application. Earlier this year I did an animation test for my personal project and i really found myself fighting with the limitations of the base procreate software. Seeing the features this app promises it was looking like it might solve all my issues.  Well now that's its out I've had a day or two to start playing with it. Here's the first few animations I've done in the software. So does it solve all my problems and is it really the animation software we've all been hoping for... not quite yet, but its close! There is a lot to improve with the software at the moment and some basic functionality that its missing.  Unfortunately the drawing side of ...
