This is a little bit of animation that I did a little while back. Miss Violet is based on my old dog. She was such a sweetheart and so much fun. This story was developed by myself along with the incredible Vedanta Sproston and my business partner, Nick Burch. I had so much fun putting this together. I hope you enjoy it.
The plan is to fo more of these in the near future.
About Aaron Blaise
For 21 years Aaron worked with Disney helping to create some of the greatest animated films ever made. During that time he worked as an animator or supervising animator on "The Rescuers Down Under", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "The Lion King", "Pocahontas", "Mulan" and more. In 2003 he was co-director of "Brother Bear" for which he earned an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature Film. After "Brother Bear" he helped to develop several projects but ultimately left Disney to pursue an opportunity back home in Florida. Aaron recently served as 2D Animation Supervisor and Character Designer for the "The Bear and the Hare" an advertisement loved by millions around the world. He is currently also working on a new animated short film, once again involving bears called "Snow Bear".
Hi Aaron I just found you on YouTube so glad I did I’m gonna make this short I’m a novice artist mostly horses my problem is the confirmation I get pretty well, it’s the placement of the eye on the head I can draw a realistic eye of the horse alone, but when I put it on the horse head I’m never happy with how it looks, is there some rule of thumb you use for placement of the eye on a horse head?
Just wanted to let you know I followed along with you drawing your lion I quickly sketched it and followed what you were doing and I’m pretty proud of how it turned out not bad for 20 minutes I haven’t use charcoal pencils in so long and never used tinted paper so as of right now I just ordered some ! Thanks for putting your tutorials tutorial online yours was so much easier to follow than others.
Do you give classes in Fl? I live in North Port I would be very interested👍
Thanks again
Kim
Hi Kim, this isn’t Aaron obviously, but I thought I might give you a heads up on some really great animal instruction. Aaron of course is great, but you also might want to check out “The Famous Artist School ” books, specifically the one on How to Draw Animals , printed in 1983. That should help a lot with the horses, and any other quadruped in general. Hope this helps, and good drawing to you.
Hi Aaron it’s me again I should’ve wrote it down at the time but I didn’t I do have the jelly rolls pens in white I’m not impressed they don’t show up very well over top of pencil or charcoal, you suggested something else at the time you were drawing your lion picture please let me know what that was I have white charcoal to doesn’t seem to work either I have prisma colors, pastel pencils and white Faber Castel none of them seem to do the job what I have been doing is using condensed white watercolor which can’t be blended
(novice ) lol
