Jamaal Bradley - Wonder of Yonder goodies

Jamaal Bradley recently posted a series of tweets with some model sheets of the series Wonder of Yonder. I found them incredibly helpful and loaded with some tips that do not only apply to 2D but to 3D too.

Check them out!

How did they do this?

So beautiful. This is something that you can watch over and over again and still be amazed by the quality and life of these images.

Simply impressive.

The Scarecrow

This is the perfect example that animation is not only about entertaining, but also creating conscious, especially with children (who happen to love animated characters).

Roger Rabbit: Tummy Trouble (720p)

Great style and even greater animation!! I would love to work on something like this!

Links, enlaces and liens

This week's links is exceptionally long because I forgot to port it last week (and the week before that, I believe), so I have more links than the usual three or four.

Enjoy them!

The best part of this video is where Glen Keane talks about animation. You can see his passion when he's drawing...

This one went viral a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to put it here since I think every artist goes through this at some time in his/her career.
