Day 198

Wow! I went to a screening today with a Q&A session afterwards with John Lasseter(!) at the BFI Southbank cinema. It was really interesting. We didn't have tickets but they had reserve tickets on a first come first serve basis and we went down there about 3 hours early and ended up with front row tickets. The screened the new Toy Story: Hawaiian Vacation short too.





I did some sketching whilst we waited:







I did some other drawing tonight for Cat and Moth, but I'm not going to post it up :D

Oh and the BFI also had Disney 50 on display and had some concept art etc.









And it rained a lot today:



I also did this next 5 shot exercise suggested by an animator from Pixar, Emma Coats. Here is the original photo.

Day 128

Well I saw Betty Blue Eyes last night, which was brilliant, and also inspired some piggy drawings. Plus, can't beat a bit of Reece Shearsmith!  I drew these whilst sitting in a park near Bethnal Green (with an random Indian fair) after an afternoon at Brick lane.












Got home and did some drawings from my Art of Wall-e book:






Busy week ahead, Making of Tangled Presentation and a meeting with Disney, hopefully a big push on my motivation :)
