    The whole film took me altogether about 5 grueling months (usually 10-12hours a day) to do. I often felt my butt was going to grow into the chair I usually sat at. 

    Please note that this was simply my way of doing my film to achieve the soft-shaded style I wanted; there are many other ways of doing this and some are a lot faster with different results~! :)

    This tut differs a bit from my dA version, because tumblr lets me put the combination of gifs and jpegs :D. 

    Here’s a book that will really help you start animating:


    here’s some books that are good for composition, storytelling and colours:


    I hope these helped

    I ask that no one removes the credit or source for this tutorial/guide please. thanks :)

    A couple people asked me how I vary my leaves and trees and honestly, it’s super easy! I’ve never made a tutorial/guide before so I kept this mega simple but I hope someone out there might find it useful at least!

    Also, anyone can download the brushes I use for all my art on my tumblr page (: I only use around 5 so go nuts haha

    Wow! Reblogging this for reference. I gotta start drawing more backgrounds.

    “Pocket Monsters (Pokémon)” 1997- present

    These are dated 1998, so they are most likely from the second film (or “Pokémon: The Movie 2000”, as it’s known stateside), or they could just be updated models from the second or third seasons. Anyone who reads Japanese could probably figure it out better than I.

  9. scurviesdisneyblog: How many drawings in a storyboarded sequence? Well, here’s one. Sequence, that is. At the end of Lilo and Stitch we were cataloging and packing up our story drawings. We got to talking about how thick the piles were. Eventually someone suggested we take a picture of the drawings for one sequence. We used the floor of a large open meeting room in the Florida studio, and brought in a scissor lift as a platform for the photographer. Then we spread out the drawings. We were all surprised just how large an area they covered. Bela Temesvary shot the picture. Then he suggested I sit in the middle of them for posterity. Now, if you’re still reading, bear in mind that this is not just one sequence from the film, but one VERSION of one sequence. Sharp-eyed observers will note that this is the obsolete chase sequence that featured a 747. That version was dropped after September 11. So this entire thing wasn’t used. Nor is this the first version of this sequence - I boarded it at least once before this. So this is probably version 2. I boarded it again from scratch at least one more time after this one was scrapped. Most people board on Cintiq now, but I still do it on paper. It’s nice to have original drawings to sit on at the end. - Chris Sanders, Writer/Director of “Lilo and Stitch”

    Walt Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966)

    Why do we have to grow up? I know more adults who have the children’s approach to life. They’re people who don’t give a hang what the Joneses do. You see them at Disneyland every time you go there. They are not afraid to be delighted with simple pleasures, and they have a degree of contentment with what life has brought , sometimes it isn’t much, either.

    - Walt Disney
