Acrylic on watercolour paper. What could Coraline look like if it was traditionally painted instead of Stop motion?… Here’s my take on the Pink Palace environment. Swipe for process pics, line art and colour comp.
Really enjoying just painting how I like to paint. My next one I think I may do in watercolours like a Lilo and Stitch vibe… tbc :)

If Disney's Tangled was traditionally painted like the old classics!
Swipe for process pics and close ups.
I traditionally painted this in watercolour, scanned it in then painted the light and details in digitally. I'm finding this hybrid process rather time effective yet still lets the traditional paint shine through..... way forward for studios who wants that traditional feel to their movies on a budget??!

If Toy Story was traditionally painted in watercolour like the classics would you watch it? :)
I feel making Toy Story in 3D was the right choice for this film, but I wondered what Andy’s room could look like as a traditional background painting. I painted it in neutral light in watercolour on paper then scanned in and painted the lighting and small details on top in photoshop/procreate. Swipe for process pics :)

A couple background paintings from a new @spongebob episode that aired yesterday :) Gouache on paper, scanned in and digital layout line and extra lighting painted in ontop. I included the 2 layouts I received to paint too. Swipe for those and some process photos. The Patrick head layout is by @hena_hong and the army base layout by @philleedraws . Art direction by @artofshane .
To answer a couple questions I’ve been getting about the painting process: 1/ we have already painted skies and sand/road multiple times before so we reuse those scans to save time; I scan my paintings in and put the paint together myself on Photoshop before handing in and I add colour to the layout lines on photoshop :)

Who lives in a dragon fruit under the sea?!!!…Gouache and acrylic on paper. *DISCLAIMER:this isn’t an official SpongeBob background and has nothing to do with Nickelodeon! I was just curious what it would be like to paint an entire background including the line work traditionally as opposed to the way we do in production where we paint the background and the line is digital.
I designed an alternate street where SpongeBob’s house is a dragon fruit, Squidward’s house is a tiki mask and Patrick’s is a clam!
Swipe for close ups and process photos :)

I wondered what Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends would look like if it was traditionally painted with a Mary Blair/ Eyvind Earle vibe! This show was one of my favs growing up. I remember entering a drawing competition on Cartoon Network when I was 13 and won a certificate saying ‘I am a Cartoon Network Artist!’ I still have it somewhere! Gouache and acrylic on paper. Swipe for process photos and a colour comp at the end. Who was your fav imaginary friend? Mine was Cheese, hands down… WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

A colour key from my story ‘Geraldine’. Next year my free time is largely going to be dedicated to the visual development of my project. Spent the Christmas break so far revisiting the story and the World from scratch and I’m feeling really excited about it :)
Swipe for some small thumbs of colour keys for other scenes I’ll share later in the week :)
