Description I really wanted to do one of these a year, you know? So I could look back and see how I've changed in my looks and how my drawing has improved all at once. But, alas, I somehow never found the time FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. Actually no, SEVERAL YEARS. Looking back I did one in 2009 and two in 2010 (all in pencil) and then once I got this awesome idea I just stopped finishing them. But at least I finally got this done.

I also want to really improve on my cartoony-semi-realistic paintings, like this. I really enjoy looking at them and all I seem to do are big close up portraits referenced from a photo. I want to do more original stuff, like my Tangled drawing. [link] Speaking of which, I'm getting the Art of Tangled, the Art of Wreck it Ralph and the Art of Puss in Boots for my eighteenth birthday next week. So excited.

All favourites and comments are greatly appreciated. Have a nice day! (And if you have any of those artbooks I mentioned, give me a shout and tell me if you like them and what your favourite part is, I'd love to know).

This is gorgeous!

Got my copy of The Art of Wreck-it Ralph a few weeks ago; pretty much worn the dust jacket to ribbons from all the times I've re-read it My favorite section is the Fix-it Felix Jr. chapter; it's a lot of fun to look over the evolutions of Wreck-it Ralph and Fix-it Felix Jr from the visual perspective. I also love the title picture for the Game Central Station chapter; it's a good place to play Find That Cameo, and I feel like Ralph standing in the glow of light shining through the open outlet really says a lot about him.

Thank you, and that sounds awesome! My copy is in the mail somewhere coming to find me. I'll have it in my clutches soon. I'm very excited. I saw one of those quick flick through videos online and I think I'm most looking forward to all the cutesy things in the Sugar Rush game. I reckon it'll all be fantastic though.

It's all amazing. The Hero's Duty section is full of amazing details, it's like they got all their concept art from the new Star Trek movies or a Star Wars film (but in a good way).

Woo! Just got my copy. It looks so good. I see what you mean about the title picture for the Game Central Station chapter, it looks so fantastic. I especially like how they turned the unplugged games into light shining in. Cool concept. And the Hero's Duty section looks so high tech and awesome, but my favourite is definitely the Sugar Rush chapter.
