I love Pixar pretentiousness, but you are right!

Sure. You can get inspiration from many sources. But the very best way to learn to draw is from life. Learn to draw what is real, and extrapolate from there.

We just watched Luca, and all enjoyed it. We chomped on pizza and scones as we watched, and it was a great prelude to Father's Day. Like Bill, I found it a little slow at first, and way too reminiscent of The Little Mermaid, as well as Finding Nemo. But then it found its own groove, and proved to be...

Just throwing this out there, but maybe take a look at dog photos? Lord knows there are plenty of books about dogs, not to mention images online. And if you want a reference for the skeleton and the muscular system, you need a veterinary anatomy atlas. There are even cheap colouring books available ...

Um, no. I don't feel that way at all. And you can't really, either, since you have never seen Picard. :? I can accept someone not liking how it ended, given what happened, but I thought it was valid in the context of the story, even dating back to Next Gen. Picard becoming a synthetic was set up fro...

Watched the Snyder Cut, then the Epilogue a week later, following others' advice to avoid it on the first viewing... I liked the film! By virtue of fleshing things out more, I thought it was way better than the Whedon version, which felt so horribly truncated. And it wasn't as dark and depressing as...

Just finished Picard. I didn't find the ending all that "WTF," as it was set up from the beginning. I can see why people didn't like it (though I wasn't too bothered), but it was all part of the story being told. (Weirder than how Picard himself ended up is the forced romances inserted into the fina...

At first I thought you meant that Eric didn't recognize Disney didn't make the 2011 Pooh. But now I see you meant that they produced the new short. Yes, it's quite clear in the article.

Cartoon Brew takes its lead from its operator, and Amid is a pretty dour fella, or at least he comes off that way online. And like social media, their comments section attracts more pessimists than optimists, who can't be bothered wading into the dirty water.

Wow, he's sold 36 of those so far! Some collectors are even more OCD than me and Ben!

Those are pretty nice, but I'd prefer that they'd been given different covers to make them unique. Theatrical poster art is always welcome. Plus, not only are they darn expensive, that shipping is extreme, even within Canada (where the seller is from). I wonder how many takers he'll get.

Animation is far from dead, and the future remains bright. That doesn't mean that it includes everything that one could hope for, or that the industry doesn't have its issues and challenges, but there seem to be plenty of opportunities these days to sell animated stories. At the risk of repeating (s...

And he used to work with me and Ben on another site!

Quite an odd duck, that one.

I am way past the demogrhic for the TV show, but I did like it. And I will check this out, too. I'm all about my DC shows and movies.

Yeah, pretty "meh" even now. Not that I won't watch it later this year, of course. It must be watched. But so far, I am not excited. To make this relevant, it really has to be setting up something new, and there is really no hint of that. Still, we might be surprised.
