Little talks.

- ...and the little duck was happy again.. the end!
-Daddy?
_ Yes?

_Do you ever get scared?

_ Yes, I do.
_Really?  a lot?
_ Sometimes it’s a lot, yes.
-What scares you?

-Mostly, what scares me is not knowing if Mom and I are doing the best job at giving you some good examples.
-Good examples of what?

-..Of how to be a good person, to think for yourself and help people..and all that sort of stuff.
-Daddy...do you think I’m a good person?

-One of the greatest I know.
- Doesn’t that mean you’re doing a good job?

-...... I love you Max.
_ I love you too Daddy.
...Daddy?

-Yes?_I’m scared right now.. can you stay with me?
_Of course Max.

You know what? Doing simple scenes is  hard.
The hardest character to draw in this one was the dad because of the more casual pose..so tough to get the balance right because your eye knows how it works while, flying characters... anything works for that since we don’t have a real frame of reference.
Drawing an environment that is nowhere in particular but still recognizable is also a tricky proposition AND.. trying to make it all say something, as simple as it is..
So.. to all the young ( and not so young ) artists out there.. Kudos for just picking up a pencil and trying! That’s already more than the greater portion of the planet!

... I know it’s been said before, but.. drawing is HARD!
Fun, but hard!

ALSO... I see this a lot.. simpler scenes are usually overlooked but they are the hardest ones to do.. so.. why should you/I/Anyone keep doing these and not just do big dramatic sweeping moments or actions?
Because by practicing these little moments you simply get better at observing, recording, assimilating and comprehending how the world functions. When you go back to your big dramatic scenes, the knowledge you will have gained from observing everyday life will help you calibrate your emotions, the actions of your characters, the   amount of wear and tear on the environment to make it feel real...not to necessarily look real, but to make it FEEL real.
That's what these little scenes are... reality in a nutshell.
(at least, that's how I see it!)

My son came up to me yesterday and told me this.
_Hey dad.
-Hey Colin.
_Are you working next weekend?
-I’m not.
_Do you want to hang out again?
-I sure do.
-Cool.
I don’t know why.. all of sudden, everything was right with the world.

My baby for ever.

My baby for ever.


I love you and I’ll always love you. No matter what. If we get upset at each other, if we get angry, if we get happy, if we get messy and when it gets scary. Sometimes I won’t like you and you definitely not like me, but I’ll ALWAYS love you and you’ll always be my baby girl.

Ambitions

Ambitions

-Tumbled out of bed  and stumbled to the kitchen
Poured myself a cup of ambition and yawned and stretched and try to come to life..... and then I just sat and watch the sun come up.
( Lyrics from the song Nine to Five by Dolly Parton..great song!)
