Disneys PAPERMAN : 2D and CGI FEELSDirected by John Kahrs, Disney has just posted the complete film online. Pretty much the greatest blending of 2D/CGI compositing i've ever seen. Brings back the feel of how powerful 2D is ( when it isn't being talked down next to CGI). Brilliant stuff!
The Making of PAPERMAN:

DO YOU KNOW THESE ARTISTS?It's been a while since i've shared some of my favorite deviants. Here's a list of talent that some of you may or may not be aware of that i've been drooling over lately. I love this place!
Check 'em out!:
:iconmonk-art: Fabian Schlaga. LEGEND. If you haven't heard of this guy, you're missing out!
:iconsaspy: Saspy's work is amazing. The female mega-talent from Italy shows no sign of slowing down with her bright and fun approaches to character design, expressions and energy.
:iconjoel27: Joel is currently my FAVORITE ARTIST on Deviantart. Just flip through his gallery and you might find yourself there all day.
:icontchokun: French Artist who worked on online games and flash shorts such as WAKFU is not to be missed. serious talent here
:iconrikkitikki: Rikkitikki's light hearted animation influence illustrations are something to fall in love with. He's got a detective concept he's been playing with that shows the main characters quite often and i usually fave when he draws th

TO THE ASPIRING ARTISTS OUT THERE..."One of the things people say to me ' Can you do it? You know, i don't really have a budget, It won't take you too long, right, you can just whip it out, right? NO. For me, in order to do that drawing, even if it takes me 10 minutes to do, the reality is it's taken me FORTY YEARS and 10 MINUTES TO DO, because of all of my EXPERIENCE, and that's what's so important to understand that this is YOUR energy and this is YOUR time... These people who are asking you to do this stuff for free, you think they're getting paid? OF COURSE they're getting paid. This happens and this why people do this. This is why there's so many STARVING ARTISTS out there."

I HATE THIS GUY. Seriously. I quit, LOL.I discovered Kim Jung Gi during my years living in South Korea when I came across his first sketchbook in '09. It was a blue and red bible of non-stop art. it made me cry. SEEING him do what he does, however, makes me contemplating giving up art altogether, lol. T________T #SoGood

TO THE ASPIRING ARTISTS OUT THERE.....

Had the Urge...…to write this because I'm getting repeated questions that are pretty much along the same lines and rather than direct each one to my FAQ, I have a different way to answer the question, which is basically:
"Why am I not getting anywhere in my art? What can I do to get better? No one is liking my work, how can I get more people to like my work so they can pay me?"
The real question you should be asking yourselves is:
"Why am I drawing?"
I mean, I take a look all the time at people who may not be skilled or whatever, and I'm sure they don't feel the best about their work (or they may), but they always have something to say that made them feel good while drawing it. Saw a sunset beach picture earlier that someone drew/painted and of course, it's not professional-looking at all. What ringed to me was the fact that in their comments, they said they "enjoyed it and was a relaxing piece". Not complaining about how the sand looks too crappy or the colors in the s

MY INSPIRATION...Wanna know who i look at and copy from these days? It's no one in comics. Nobody in film. Just this guy. He's why i draw these days. He's all i study. Thank you, YUTAKA NAKAMURA-SAN!

Want to make an Anime? Dai Sato tells you how.I know there are a lot of foreign art/animation fans here on DA, fans of works and artists from Europe and Japan. Dai Sato, the legendary writer for classic, foreign TV shows such as COWBOY BEBOP, GHOST IN THE SHELL and WOLF'S RAIN explains the process of creating an animated series in japan. Take notes for you students/fans out there and enjoy!

" I haven't reached the point where I think I'm good at this. that's the drive. i know that its in me to be really good at it. and i think i've come close a few times, but i don't usually look at things i've completed and feel content. Which that means the next thing you start, you go in with that attitude that 'this time, I'm gonna get it right.' it doesnt mean you hate everything you do, but i'm never content. And maybe i never will be but i secretly know that that's what makes you grow." - Jamie Hewlett

Much needed, thanks LeSean

~Dadapan Jan 17, 2013 Student Digital Artist

Excellent.

~comicninja Jan 16, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Thanks bro! I just got some new inspiration!

~adony Jan 15, 2013

True t'ings. Never be content. Bruce Lee, for example, never aimed for goals; he aimed for plateaus. As soon as one was reached, start climbing to the next one.

~grodzqm8 Jan 14, 2013

Thank You For this LeSean!

RoCcOn!

~Unmeimaru Jan 11, 2013 Student Traditional Artist

I always feel like this, I just need to get a scanner and stuff so I can show the world my recent work

*Nashbolt Jan 11, 2013

this is some real shit!!

~soliton Jan 10, 2013 Professional General Artist

Exactly how I feel right now...Putting up my own barriers to the point where I'm sabotaging myself into not making anything. I'm not sure if it's just a rut or if I'm being lazy or just not inspired, but I can say that watching this clip helped me get my mind right.

~Graven-Park Jan 10, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

I'll cop this tonight after work, Lesean. Thanks for sharing.

*mterry4 Jan 8, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Gotta say, he hit the nail on the head. My
professor always told me the last work you do, shouldn't
be considered your best work. Never become satisfied, always
push forward.
