This took me about 30 minutes to paint for the daily spitpaint facebook group (a group created for people who want to practise their speed painting skills and there’s always a time limit of 30 minutes on each piece produced). The original theme was ‘Space Helmet’ but I recently read an article saying that for the first time in NASA history, half of the newest astronaut class is female. And that is pretty cool! I thought I could use that as inspiration and dedicate it to them.</span></span></span></div>

<br />
Some warm up sketches from the weekend, heavily based on Miss Hannigan from the musical 'Annie' (1982). Such an iconic movie character, really love how truly crazy she is.<br />
<br />
Also, let me update you with what I have been up to since I have not been posting any work in ages. I finished my contract animating on Craig McCracken's Wander Over Yonder for Disney and I am now working as a designer for Brown Bag Films. Happily spending my days drawing props and sets :)<br />
I also have a ''secret'' project on the side developed by a good friend of mine and helping her out with some visuals. Not allowed to share any work yet so stay tuned ;)<br />
<br />
p.s Am I the last person on earth still using a blogspot and not tumblr? Maybe it is time to accept defeat and make the move...Katerina Pantelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16471721391019244804noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086339836664479872.post-63088648705227677652016-01-18T14:29:00.000-08:002016-01-18T14:35:13.246-08:00Sketchbook doodling from the Inktober days!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">Persephone, the beloved daughter of Demeter(goddess of growth and vegetation) was abducted by Hades, bewitched by her beauty and youth. Mythology says that the union of the two, Hades and Persephone's marriage, is the reason we experience the four seasons of the year. Demeter, heartbroken and angry brings winter and autumn while her daughter is bound to be with her husband at the kingdom of death but changes into summer and spring when Persephone leaves the underworld to be with her mother for the rest of the year. </span></div>

<br />
I have always liked this story and I think of Hades and Persephone kinda like Yin and Yang. One represents death, the end of life and old age, the other is a symbol of creation, the beginning of life and youth. negative and positive. balance! </div>

<br />
''<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;">Thurlow says the anime industry is "a particularly harsh industry, even by Japanese standards." People, he explains, are overworked to the point that they vomit, and crunch time is brutal. The less-busy periods are six-day work weeks, ten hours a day.''</span><br />
<br />
I do not usually like to post anything on this specific blog other than my own art but I was recently reading the article attached to the link above and thought it is worth sharing, especially for people like myself who are quite young and naive and have just made it into the industry.<br />
<br />
It made me feel kinda sad more than frustrated because I think a similar ''wave'' is beginning to approach the western animation industry too and the thing is, it is our fault. It is the animator's fault. Is it because we feel so lucky to have made it into our dream jobs we sort of become a bit pathetic, not speaking up when we should and letting the ''money people'' take advantage of our enthusiasm?<br />
Is there really no Animator's Union anywhere in Europe?? why??<br />
<br />
Is it just me who is scared of the future european industry turning into a bunch of ''<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; line-height: 24px;">slave-labor" studios ? </span><br />

Hi blog mates. I know I have been pretty bad at posting things but I am just too busy working on toooo many things at the moment! I am the worst person when it comes to prioritising and just choosing ONE thing to do at a time! I am probably too arrogant and naive thinking I can do more than I can actually handle. This is something I need to work on as I find my work really needs to be more focused on one or two things instead of the 5000 things I wish I could do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So, something to work on! Focus and prioritise! Don't go insane! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="text-align: justify;">Trying out some interior environment sketching to go with my exterior -western themed- thumbnails, and here's an example below.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

So many different things I need to constantly remind myself over and over again, even the simplest and most straight forward design and painting principle turns into an intellectual complication and even the references I use make each piece feel like a labyrinth. What and Why and How underline each idea and line and brushstroke. Note to self: Practise makes better...</span></div>

Hello blogosphere. Here's parts of the work I did for my week01 assignment for this Environment Design class. I am sort of a beginner when it comes to creating environments from scratch so be kind..or else!! :D </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But boy, this class is a challenge! especially for someone working full time, I hope I can actually complete the whole course without having to pull all-nighters...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
oh and when it comes to my thought process while I'm working on these assignments it's goes like this: ''ok, I can do this. 4 evenings should be enough for the homework right?.....ahhhh no!! focus Katerina! he said to also have 3 point perspective examples...ok 3 point, thats perspective with three points..ok...why is this looking fucked up?? oh right, the Cone Of Vision rule...its outside the cone of vision.. i still don't get this composition....fuck you cone of vivion, I wish you die! fuck you too rule of thirds!! and you golden ratio!! oooohh now that's a sexy looking rock! good job me! hellooooo rock!! wait whats the focal point in this thumbnail again?? it is not supposed to be the rock! ok lets tone down that rock. I think I deleted three layers... oh well. was that supposed to be a wind mill?? well not any more its a water tower now...apparently..I need sleep. Magnus make coffee. ...please.'' etc, etc, etc. </div>
