Do Re Mi

Believe it or not, I was inspired by POGO's Winnie The Pooh remix to make a Disney drawing.  x)  It's a very cute, relaxing, and child-like remix. I don't know when I'll finish it but I'm hoping I get it done before the summer is over.  I started practicing again because my original style of drawing is anime/manga so when I attempt to draw Disney characters, their eyes are always larger than they should be; It's weird because everyone always talks about how big Disney character's eyes are. lol I want to create a fanart where a few of the Disney child characters from England are all at a cafe or in any place where they'll be eating food.  I got the idea of the Disney characters from England because while listening to that Winnie the Pooh remix, I realized that Christopher Robin is from England and then so is Wendy, Alice, etc.  The cafe idea came from Maid Cafes in Japan. Yes, MAID CAFES. My sister got to go to one of these cafe's before me a...

I think it was a couple of months ago but I somehow stumbled across Piko.. I really can't remember where I found it but I think I saw this video on a blog with Piko singing different anime openings/endings in female and male voices. I looked more into this intriguing character and eventually discovered the awesomeness of Piko. In a nutshell, PIKO is basically a ryouseirui or "amphibian/both species" singer who can produce both a male and female voice. He's also the voice provider of Piko Utatane for Vocaloid2. I really like his voice because it sounds different in the way that it's not exactly masculine or feminine but somewhere in-between which is pretty awesome. He also looks very feminine, I'm sure there are a lot of people who would see his pic and wonder, "is that a guy or a chick?" lol. I feel that I've seen enough metrosexual and feminine guys to know if it is a male or female I'm looking at so I immediately realized that he...

I saw the Tangled movie this past Thanksgiving with my sister. I usually don't like to pay full price for AMC movies but I gotta say, this is one of the best $21 I've ever spent on a theatrical movie. Even my sis, who isn't much of a critic, said that this was wayyyy better than the last 2D Disney flick, The Princess and the Frog. She said that she felt the magic with Tangled but not with the other movie. I think so too. I honestly wasn't expecting much from Tangled, just because a lot of the animations that have been coming out lately weren't so great. The trailer also had all this crappy music paired with it so I was like, okaaaay, is this going to be like one of THOSE movies? But this was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The 3D animation was absolutely gorgeous and a real treat to watch. The story was also funny and moving, with endearing characters. There was none of that mainstream shitty music. The songs in the movie were original with the characters singing and beautiful...

I don't know why but I feel like I have to make a post on this one. Today on the bus, I was thinking about what the big difference is between Disney and anime I came to a conclusion. Aside from the HUGE fact that Disney characters and Anime characters look very different and the culture behind the stories have their vast contrasts, it has to do with the movements of the characters and the emphasis on space and setting. Disney animations have beautiful paintings of settings for their backgrounds but they mostly serve JUST as a backgrounds. The settings in Disney films don't seem to move around or come alive like the characters do. They seem to mostly act as a ground for the characters and objects that the characters interact with. The settings in anime features come to life. For example, the grass is shown moving with the wind or the rustling of the trees can be seen and heard. Maybe there might be scene that simply shows the babbling brook or stream. If Disney animation...
