My Artwork on Video Tutorials

I just had my brother use one of my drawings in one of his Video Tutorials, for where he teaches Digital Arts, at Fullerton College.

The tutorial is about how to use a “painted sphere” - one with highlights, mid-tones and shadows, and inserting them inside the shapes of the character. You then use the Free Transform tool and its Warp attribute to “sculpt” the sphere into the corresponding shape to create a value-study in seconds instead of minutes!.

Blue Sky Studios' Peanuts Trailer

(Click on image for trailer)


I’m a fan of Charles SchultzPeanuts comic, so I was a little bit apprehensive about the news of Blue Sky Studios3D Animated Film Feature adaptation...

But I was pleasantly surprised on how nice and how faithful the trailer was to Schultz’ style. I love how the captured the little quirks his comic had; it really brings the characters to (3D) life, a rare feat.

Kudos to the entire team at Blue Sky Studios.
