Fatkat Animation

I seen the logo for Fatkat's animation before, but thats about all i knew about them. I had no idea that they were from New Brunswick, or that they worked on Family Guy. They're blog was very well done, showing some clips that they worked on. I liked how they included a lot of ads and link, and how they make the blog look like it's always visited and updated. I don't like how plain the background is. The header is the only thing that looks well worked on, but the background is so empty.
A few questions i would like to ask Robbie Anderson on his visit would be if it's easy to learn how to use animation. Also, how long does it take to make a 30 minute animated video.

The title for this How-To Video creates curiosity which makes the viewer want to watch it. In this video, they show clearly what you need, and how you can do everything. It also has some humor so the video isn't completely boring while showing the steps. Something they should have added was some ways this trick could go wrong. In our video i'd like to use some humor like this video.

Amazing Works of Art: All Artists Had to Start Somewhere...

Have you ever wondered how people can make such beautiful works of art so easily? The truth is that they all started out as beginners, and anyone can become just as great with a little work. After reading this article, you'll become just that much more closer to artistry!

First things first, you'll need the right supplies. This depends on what kind of art your interested in. Lets deal with sketching. You might want to start with a 6B, 4B, 2B, H or 2H pencils since they're cheap and easy for beginners. You may also like to buy graphite for quick shading. You can buy these at any art store, and after getting more experience, you'll soon know what brand suits you best.

Even though you have everything you need, your not ready to start yet. Before you even start drawing, you need to imagine exactly what your going to sketch. Every detail, every line. You have to imagine your actually seeing it, and believe that you can draw it. Looking at photos is a good way for beginners to begin imagining. Once you do this, drawing it will become so much easier.


OK, now you can start drawing! Lets start by drawing something simple like a face. Start off by lightly drawing a circle. Don't worry about details right now, you'll have time for that near the end. If you don't want to add much detail, it'll look less realistic.


Next, draw a vertical in the middle of the circle lightly and a horizontal line that's curved downward a little. One that horizontal line, draw an eye on both sides of the vertical line. Make sure they are evenly spaced out. How ever you picture an eye in your head, draw it like that.
After your done drawing the eyes, make a nose between the eyes right on the vertical line. The mouth should also be drawn on the vertical. The outer circle, eyes, nose, and mouth should be darkened harder.

Now to get rid of the lines on the face. Carefully erase both the vertical and horizontal lines with an eraser. If you made them light, they should come off easily.

Now it's time to add some detail. Lightly shade the outer line on the right, and don't shade too much. With your finger, smudge carefully around the right side of the face. This adds shadow and a 3D like affect. You can also add eyebrows, rosy cheeks, wrinkles, anything you desire.

After practicing with different drawings and having the will, you learn and train, you'll become better in no time. All artists started out with the basics, and kept moving forward to greater art. Sooner or later, you can too.
