30 Day Drawing Challenge--Day 8

Day 8 -- Favorite Animated Character

Okay, I LOVE Wall-E. It's out there now. :p He's the only robot I know of that makes me go 'AWWW' and want to scoop him up and cuddle him. Plus he's so simple and pure in nature, that it never seems to occur to him to do the wrong thing...such a cute little guy.

This was a blend of pen tool, paintbrush (finally figured out how to take the tablet pressure as opposed to pen pressure, so the lineart is a bit cleaner now), stamp tools, and various opacity plus burn tool. There's a lot of different methods all thrown together here...
and I did look at a picture to draw this, but it was all free-hand otherwise. (Looking at pictures for reference is not cheating. I rest my case.)

At first I was really stumped on this one, because the only animated movies I watch are Pixar and Dreamworks-related. And lately I haven't had a 'favorite' character of the animated nature...sure, Gru and Megamind came to mind, but they aren't hardcore favorites. Ya know?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Otherwise, I rode the horse for about 45 minutes today working on walking, trotting, loping, stopping, and a little turning on the forehand in the pasture. She was rather lazy--she tripped with her back feet once while loping across the pasture (*facepalm*), and didn't seem to have a lot of energy. But then again, I haven't had much energy either. I had to force myself to go out and ride today. >.< In retrospect I'm glad that I did...but at the time the only thing I wanted to do was flop on my bed and go 'urgh'.

Regarding the horse, she's getting easier to work with. (Or today may have just been a good day. XD) Laziness aside she is pretty willing and doesn't fuss as much as she used to...oh, the battles we used to have. But no more! 

Anyway. Enough rambling...time to continue posting shtuff on FB etc. *toddles off*
