Mark McDonnell Tutorials

Mark McDonnell teaches life drawing at Disney and Dreamworks and shares some of his tips and lessons at his YouTube channel. Here's gesture drawing warm-up part 2. - via Drawn!

This video is a lesson in gesture drawing. Gesture is usually used by animators but is a very useful method for any artist. The style he uses is Disneyesque but you can do this in your own style. It's great to do at cafes, on the bus, at the zoo, etc.

Transition

I was browsing around for examples of character design when I happened across this great illustrator on ConceptArt. So I checked out her blog and put a watch on her Deviantart account. <_< No, I'm not a stalker... I really liked her stuff. So anyway, on her blog she has this tutorial. Well, being as I'm trying out new things, I figured, why not?

Well, this is the result. A lot more practice and maybe I can get it to look as good as hers. I think next time I'll use a larger sized drawing... ATC size probably isn't good to practice on. o_O

You should really go check out more of Steph Laberis' stuff! ^_^

Anyhow, I was going to do something else for transition but I think this is more truth for me... I am going through some transitions in my art. I hope you all enjoy my learning process. lol
