Yo-ho Yo-ho...


This evening, I had my first character design class with David Colman. And into the second hour, out of nowhere pops John the Pirate. I painted him two weeks ago at the American Animation Institute. If there's a pirate related anything that calls for a model, John Tucker is your Buccaneer! If you have seen the book, Force: Character Design from Life Drawing, there he is on the cover! :D

A very professional model... in fact, because he knew we were going to do short poses, he brought with him his entire regalia in his treasure chest which includes a barrel of rum, pirate swords and replica guns, a spyglass, and oooh, did I mention a bag filled with pirate themes soundtracks??

And so that's why the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride at Disneyland has been down for weeks! Arrrrggggh...
