Little Koi Dancer

Gestures of my little Chinese girl character from my recent story sketch, The Dancing Koi. Painted over some to get back into working with Photoshop! The video I used as reference is at the bottom.


I really like how I experimented with color and line here!

中國漁船的故事 (A Chinese Fishing Story) Sketches

A story project of mine in which I;m going to enter into the my portfolio for the Disney Story Trainee position due at the end of this month. I'm already into boarding the beats but I thought why not show some of the early sketches from last week!

I wanted to centralize around fishing and the idea of being patient and not rushing into things, possibly messing up your destiny (or catch on the line). Also to embrace a sense of balance in order to reach one's goals and expose oneself to new experiences. A Yin and Yang story between 2 siblings, a dancer and fisher. Plus giant Koi fish.



I really REALLY wanted to set it in Cambodia BUT Ron said there's no yin-yang belief there. And no koi fish. Just eels....


I was actually originally going to set this along an American river with the bonding between a Father and Daughter. The main girl was going to be a girly girl and not want to deal with icky fish. Only until her father was in danger did she step up into action.


Exploring styles....
