Description
[EDIT: Added the body breakdowns as well...]I'm doing an animated short... for fun... because I'm sadistic.
I wanted to nail down a super-expressive style for Nita, so I could really have fun with drawing her 24 times for each second she's on screen. The short will be about 45 seconds in length, so if you know anything at all about math, that's lots and lots of Nita drawings.
Sparkles will be in it too, briefly... I gotta make one for her, yet.
Moar to come.

Amen to that! When people tell me I have talent, I always say thank you, but I have had a lot of practice to get where I am. This is beautiful. Well done!.

wow you're setting yourself up for one hell of a time drawing the hair. so much secondary action. "sadistic" sounds like a good word to use here i think =]

Hahaa, I love drawing her hair, but you are absolutely right. I basically will draw the breakdowns first, of her body alone... once I have that figured out, I start with the bangs and the shape of the hair around the head, and after that, the rest that follows her. At least, that's how I've done it in keying and it's worked... so far.

Ooo, I can't wait to see Sparkles' design! ^^ Nita's very cute here; you nailed the 'very expressive' mark!
