Beaks for the masses

Some rough beaks stuff from the past

Marc Davis' pencil

Quite recently, Federico Fiecconi invited me to doodle with Marc Davis' (MARC DAVIS!) own original mechanical pencil! The outcome was this odd little piece of sketch that doesn't have any purpose other than to smash some really fast lines on the paper and see what happens. Anyways, back at my desk, I started refining and preparing the level for detailing a little, just for the fun of it.

Animation art from the Masters

If you happen to be in Bergamo, here a recommendation: There is currently a wonderful exhibition "dalla carta ai cartoni" curated by our amazing friend Federico Fiecconi. The exhibition - located in the breathtaking Monastero di Astino - comprises original drawings by Mark Davis, Winsor McCay, Chuck Jones, Bruno Bozzetto, David Silverman, Otto Messmer, Genndy Tartakovsky, Walt Kelly, ... from Snow White, Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Fantasia, Donald Duck, La Linea, ... Impressive, you'll see.

Upright format

I'm not sure if it's only me but, sometimes, I enjoy to rotate the screen in order to work in portrait format, it has a kind of a scaffold feel to it. This BTW really works lovely with tall characters and all sorts of upright format things.
