Three Years in Seven Seconds
This is an experiment I did in Blender Grease Pencil Animation. I could have done this quicker in Photoshop, but the main point of the project was learning. Eventually, I will need to ween myself off of Photoshop if I am to advance my skills in animation. I learned layers, timing, and file conversion. I also learned that I have a lot to learn!
Cartoon Service Process
If you should want me to draw something for you, this would be how the process would unfold. Take the sketches above, for example. This is an actual drawing for my friend, August. He gave me a detailed description of what he wanted. This isn’t a direct quote, but he said something like, “Draw, like, a cherry bomb character on wheels. Kind of like those stickers that were around when we were kids, called Hot Rods, I think it was.” So, once I get your description and a down payment of $10.00, I will do some doodles, then you let me know what you like and what you don’t like. Let’s find out if we both have the same idea in mind. In this case, August liked sketch number 3, and he told me the character should be a female.
Next, I sent him another drawing with a female face (and a tire) after he sent me another $10.00 installment. He approved them but also told me to make all of the tires the same size, and to put the phrase, “Cherry Bomb” in there somewhere. So, I made the changes and sent him another drawing with color.
He liked it as it was and sent me the remaining $30.00. But now, let’s say he wants the design on a mug. No problem. I just place it on a mug in my Redbubble store, then send the link to where he can view and/or buy it.
Through Redbubble, we can put your custom-made design on a myriad of products. Like mousepads, coasters, posters, T-shirts, calendars, shower curtains, and much more! Let me make your dream design or product a reality. Email Bob at oddboxcomics@att.net and say, “Hey Bob…can you draw me a cat riding on the back of a bat and then put it on a bathmat?” You betcha I can!
