[a drawing of an animator] I normally don't name names of people that I sketched, but I'll make an exception here. Bill Plympton, an independent animator, gave a master class at Cornell last night. I've been a fan of his work since 1987. He talked about various things, including his advice for people wanting to be animators, and how he got there. He does beautiful artwork and has done several feature length films, drawing each frame by hand. Pencils are his favorite medium and he does some great work in them. I did a sketch of him. I can't call it "quick" since he does amazing work quickly. And sitting in a room full of hopeful and talentist artists, I feel my doodles hardly count as art. So that's about as much self-deprecation that I can manage. The sketch of the woman in a hat reading a book is based on one he did for an animation that is currently in progress that he showed us. He also drew sketches for everyone, but that will have to wait until tomorrow's sketchbook entry of the day. images/Drawings/Sketches/billp.png
