Raul HigueraI personally dont really enjoy using photoshop, though I know almost everyone uses it. Its a little exhausting and tends to take some of the fun away from what Im doing sometimes. I like to water color my things, though I need better paint and nicer brush... moreI personally dont really enjoy using photoshop, though I know almost everyone uses it. Its a little exhausting and tends to take some of the fun away from what Im doing sometimes. I like to water color my things, though I need better paint and nicer brushes and then add a background and maybe some details in photoshop. Just so some of you guys know that photoshop isnt the only option!Do whatever you like! Its art!

I agree, but all my clients want digital,it's easier to alter and manipulate, whereas a painting is final.
Raul HigueraI dont know if this is weird or not but I would like your guys' opinions on some figure drawing work?? If its not too much to ask for that is!
Raul HigueraHonestly my favorite animated film of 2012 was probably Paranorman, not only for the concept and story which really hit home but for the character design.

A lot of disney stuff has felt kind of reused but in different situations and with different settings. I dont know how to explain it. You might not agree with me, perfectly fine, but I felt that Paranorman contributed much more to the table this year than any other out there.

Same here :) I especially loved the beginning - the opening, you know how it was stylistically retro, I had thought I had accidentally selected the wrong movie on on-demand.

Theres just something about that setting and that accent....plus not many people address mother-daughter themes. Though I did enjoy Wreck it ralph and paranorman more. Maybe its because it was a pixar film? Though saying that sounds a bit arrogant.

I loved Brave, but I'm a Pixar Junky so I'm a little Biased. It was gorgeous, though. Best Animation they've done, THAT HAIR. And the story.... and art... and bears... Whatever I loved it.

About Me
Hi, Im Raul. Im an animation enthusiast. Heck thats kind of what I want to be when I grow up, an animator.
My drawings will vary. Some will attempt at being semi realistic( such as figure drawings). Though youll probably see more of my doodles which arent meant to amaze you with its accuracy.
