Love is strange. (part 1)

Once apon a time a cat caught a squid and the squid held on. the cat felt something from that squid that made him happy… it was love. so the cat let the squid go but the squid wouldn’t leave. The squid sat on the cats back as that cat sat there silently, but purring at the same time. The squid didn’t know how to love but the cat did. The cat took the squid away to another area showing the squid different sights and smells that the squid wanted more of, But the squid stayed on the cats back enjoying the ride.

After a while the squid started to get dry and needed to get back to the water. The cat tried to say no you have to say in his own cat like way. The squid pulled the cat to the waters as the cat screamed in terror of the water. Always afraid of getting wet the cat never really went into the water he would always stay there watching because he had nothing else to do, but today seemed like the day to get over those fears.

The squid finally had him in the water for a while knowing the cat might down the squid stayed close to the dry beach. The cat stayed feeling less afraid of the water as minutes pass. The day got older though and stormy thunder from above told the cat he had to leave, the squid told him to stay but he refused because of the rising tide. If he didn’t leave he would drown.

All right, here’s my contribution to the art tutorial infographic world, part 1 of 2.  I’ve noticed that even in professional illustration, so often the humans and environments and armor and whatnot is really, really great— correct anatomy, lighting, proportions, like ‘wow this is fantastic WAIT what is up with that HORSE?’

I suspect two things;

First is that I spend 15 hours a day, 365 days a year looking, touching, handling, and just generally being around horses.  

Second is that most people do not.  

Artists have lost touch with their connection to horses as contemporary society has lost touch with them.  Generally, we don’t have that constant presence of horses in our lives that previous generations did, as horses aren’t part of the everyday landscape any more.  They don’t work the fields, they don’t cart the goods, they don’t deliver the mail or transport you to the next town down the road.

However, we still see horses all the time— in movies, books, illustration, ads and logos, we are presented with the image of horses all the time.  So we assume ‘yes, I have seen horses often and I know what they look like.’  Because of our exposure, we as artists don’t always feel like we need to heavily reference the animals as if we were drawing something we don’t see everyday (say, like elephants or giraffes or sea cucumbers).  Our brain just kind of plugs in ‘horse shaped’ and we go with that.

And I suspect that ends up being where a lot of these common mistakes occur.  Dogs are familiar, but we can easily find a dog to draw from live, to see the way the shapes of its face are put together in 3-dimensions.  Cats, humans, birds… if we venture just a little ways outside our studios (or in some cases, inside), we can find live models to study easily.  

You can’t really do that with horses.  They’re a commodity, sequestered away behind fences on private farms and shuttered away in barns.   So few people really get the chance to be up close and have that hands-on experience to really learn how a horse is put together.

So here’s some things, based on my own experience both drawing and working with horses, that might help you if you find yourself needing to draw one for yourself.

The approach I took might be more complicated than absolutely necessary, but I tried to present the subject of ‘how to draw horses’ a little differently than I’ve seen it done before.  I hope someone finds it understandable, and more importantly, helpful!

If you share this, please don’t delete my commentary about it above. Thanks :3

Hi!

How is everybody?! We miss you! So we’re hoping you’ll come visit us as What Pumpkin hits the road this convention season. :)

Below you’ll find our tentative convention schedule for 2014. We’re looking to add more conventions, so it’s possible this list might change. Very likely so because of those conventions we’ll be adding, and highly unlikely so because we’d remove any (though it’s still possible). We’ll be updating any changes to this schedule on our Twitter, as well as through Tumblr posts and the sidebar on our Tumblr.

We hope to see you all! :D

I was doing some research for a thing and found that little gem on TMZ.  To be fair, I already did the second two pictures a long time ago.
