while painting some film stuff (i hate backgrounds omg), i’ve been keeping brave on as background noise… and when i got too fed up with my film stuff for tonight, i tried to draw some brave stuff!

oh my gosh, you’d think that because the characters from brave are a lot less caricatured and stylized compared to the human characters in say, the incredibles or ratatouille, that they’d be a bit easier to draw? noo way…. i found myself getting frustrated, even while doing silly sketches. elinor is near impossible to draw, i find!

oh, well. i had fun with merida’s hair and eyes. i love minkyu lee (a disney artist, not pixar) so i tried to emulate the way he does his eyes. they’re so intense and round, and cute… but unsettling? in a good way!
