Fighty-Nighty-Ninjas. Design for animation project. This fighter morphed into something more feminine throughout the process. I think the character did start as female. These sketches were informed by classic movies, specifically Dragon Inn 1967, with a formidable female fighter protagonist. Go find this movie. I'm sure many western movies have cheekily swiped a few ideas from this. Have you seen it? See it! I ended up designing the backgrounds and scenes- which I'll post later if I can. None of that mattered if the character isn't going to work as an animated, living person. A black crayon Faber-Castell is my weapon of choice. Something soft-ish. I'm looking to capture dynamic movment, energy and a certain mania ; I'll need to grind and carve out the lines on cartridge paper- so it makes sense to find a soft pencil. I'm not sure you can do that on an i-Pad. A flash of a hand, a swish of the arm require some tension, as if the muscles are flexing. Anyway, you be the judge. After I have a stack of mad scribbles, I scan them, give them a tiny bit of contrast to erase the paper texture- a slight adjustment to the levels to crush the black and take out the highlights, and then I send them to the marvelous director who will sort out what works. #barepsldn #sketchbook #drawing #celynbrazier #celyn https://www.instagram.com/p/CrAwuc8tC0Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mounds. Sketchbook 2022 After several foolish years without a decent scanner I finally bagged an Epson Expressions on eBay. Seduced by the iPad, I’d dismissed the trusty flat bed as a relic.
