that was such a cute movie x3

Looks pretty well mimicked to me. Especially the one of him looking up.

That one was my favorite. :D

Actually, a lot of these look like the Disney Robin Hood! Nice job!

Neat.

Hey, that's actually a pretty faithful representation on that. :3 Might be a bit late for this piece...but I know the artists for Faux Paws (I think that's how it's written as) have a style very similar to that but I think you hit it on the head. *noddles*

I need to do more of those for my animation reference acually lol

or however you spell it..

My fave Disney Character of all time :)

The only discrepancies I see are there's a bit too much fuzz and over shading. The original movie had very little shading.

I agree. :)

He looked so plain and flat without shading in my drawings. I think the medium of the painted cels plus the film grain of the original movie worked well to make him not seem so flat. It was habit and compulsion that made me push it a bit more. <=)

Nice

You till captured him the same with your style. ^^

Brings me back. :)

Freak'n epic! That brings back memories when I was little, nicely done!

Disney approval

That head on the bottom right looks very... self-contained. Like it doesn't need a body. Like... Pac-Fox.
Wakka wakka.

Oodalalee golly what a day

Why hello there mr cute bastard :O.

You should be working for Disney !!

heh, I'm not that good. Not fast enough, that's for sure as well!

Not to mention 2D animation is hardly worked on nowadays. (hopes Princess and the Frog succeeds... but won't be surprised if it doesn't)

You are too hard to yourself

Oh oh and if you wanna' see some nice Disney-esque art, totally check out !

No need to worry, thats robin all right :3
And he looks gorgous <3

A spittin' image all right. Great job, Mary.

P.S.: Is there a specific method you usually follow to get to steps 2 and 3?

Do you mean the lineart stages?

The "basic lineart" part is pretty much the ink I put down before erasing the pencil. I found that if I do the full inking and then erase, I either smear the ink (doesn't dry well over graphite), or the ink fades from the eraser.

And then I build the lines up with Micron pens of various sizes.

That's good to know, as I myself just got my first brush pen... which could take some getting used to. Thanks, Mary.

When you do the basic and complete inks, are you working in digital at that point (or do you just have killer-steady hand)?

I always work myself into a bit of a tizzy by finishing my rough drawing, which I often love leaving in that state, but never quite certain of the technique a lot of folks use for inking. Most times I use a brush-pen, but I'm curious about digital inking too.

Yours truly,
Digital-ink-curious

I still can't get the hang of inking with my tablet, so everything up to the color step is by hand. :D I use Micron pens and build up the lines slowly.

Yay! That actually gives me some faith that I'm not just way being behind the curve or anything.

Over the years I've gotten more impatient and way to make the first mark the perfect mark, which seems like a reverse of what my expectations should be, so I was vaguely tempted by the idea of digital inking. But I never found a setting for my tablet that made the inking feel natural... plus, I think I miss the friction of the pen on paper.

The plastic-on-plastic always felt sort've... weird.

Thanks for giving me the scoop on your tech-ni-queue!

He's both recognizable, and that is an incredibly useful practice sheet for someone to look at. Its a lot of good front head angles and warm expressions.

It think between his eyes and the particular expressions, you got him down pretty well.

This is also a great demonstration of how the muzzle looks on different angles.

Yay for Robin!! ^.^ Heehe, very cute and quite a good likeness. ^^

You're awesome, Mary XP.

Almost just like him! This is amazing! And cute as hell! <3

Great job you got it.

My GF is still in love with him she must see this.

I highly approve of this sheet! =D

Okay, maybe the black nose is a tad big on some of the pics. ^_^; But otherwise still very much on-model!

This came out great! I think the main differences between your model sheet and Disney's is that they tended to draw him with a bit more rigid features, and a smaller, edgier/flatter nose. But it is definitely obvious who it is.

Nicely done ^.^

"steals and hides under pilow"

nice work =3..i think you captured him VERY well. this is super friggin cute, Robin Hood is who i plan to be this halloween i love the 4th one in.

very well done.
robin hood is awesome.

Nicely done. I used to love this movie.

You're doing a great job. It's very recognizably Disney while STILL retaining a hint of Mary that makes it so very wonderfully you :)

Nice! I really need to get off my lazy ass and watch the show again... wait, I need to sit my lazy ass down and watch it again I mean. :)

Looks great!

Hey! VERY good job on the model sheet.

I find this sorta funny. At college we were asked to do a rotation of a bust of a pre-made character from a movie, so we can learn to animate and rotate characters for the first time and stuff. A lot of people thought to do Robin Hood, but always discovered that all the reference even from just screen capping...there are so many structural and design inconsistencies its sorta boggling. Looks good though, really close to the films.

This is spot-on - it's recognizable as Robin Hood, but it's obviously Mary-styled, too. Cuteness!

Wow! That looks wonderful.

oh its him haha didnt recognized him without the hat..

Can U do full body drawings? Kinda like this?
