Winnie’s Awooo 

Holy Rabies!

I’ve been a little headachey this evening, but I recently purchased Hotel Transylvania 2 on DVD and I’ve been eager to doodle some of the characters, so I figured I would push through and see what I could make while I waited for the medicine to take effect ^_^

Genndy Tartakovsky’s design aesthetic has always delighted me, and the Hotel Transylvania designs are my favorite of his work ^_^ I always have a hard time picking out my favorite characters from the movies, but Mavis and Winnie are top contenders ^_^ Who all do you like from Hotel Transylvania/Hotel Transylvania 2? Any favorites?

I hope you’re all having a wonderful evening ^_^ I’m off to rest my head a bit, but I wanted to share this peace before heading off ^^

Love you all,

I am just… Overwhelmed…by the response to The JonTron Firework Compilatiion.

I could not have anticipated anything close to the amount of Good Vibes and encouragement that came like a wave following Jon’s posting yesterday.

I have never had such an amazing boost of followers and subscribers in such short a time and I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to you all who have come from Jon’s channel to follow me here <3 I cannot thank you all enough for your support, and all the kind words you’ve had for me, and all the other animators who contributed ^_^

and to anyone who has sent me a letter here or on dA, I promise I am going through them all right now to reply…I’ve just never had so many at once ^///^ so I’m sorry if takes me some time <3

The video was an absolute delight to be a part of. I can’t say how proud I am to be able to share the screen with so many people that I have looked up to, Jon being no exception ^_^ 

I thought I’d share my … more vibrant scene with y’all in gif form ^_^ I had such a fun time stepping out of my usual comfort zone and figuring out how to apply my normally abstract square backgrounds to some effects animation.

And of course since the videos couldn’t be rough, I was able to play with a fun color pallet too ^^

Anyway, I just wanted to express my sincerest gratitude and thanks to everyone for their amazing support and kindness…it really means the world to me <3

I hope you’re all having a super lovely day, and I promise some more fun Youtuber animations in the future. I don’t know which ones it may be yet, but I had so much fun with Jontron, I can’t imagine not doing something like this again ^_^

Love you all,

~FtK

At first I didn’t think I was going to like drawing Donald…but I think this might wind up being my favorite doodle of the night ^__^ 

I hope your day ends better than it seems to have started Donald <3

Thanks so much for your request @bakertoon

All my love,

Phantasma Head Turn Exercise

I started to animate instead of doing laundry ^^; but I was enjoying my pencil brush too much, and head turns are always good practice.  

I really enjoy animating in Photoshop…I just wish the tools were more animation friendly ^^

Time for me to do chores though <3

Love you all,

Adobe Animate- Mrs. Brisby

I’ve been asked about my thoughts on Adobe Animate (Adobe’s replacement for Flash)

And although I don’t consider myself anything of an expert on software, I did finally update my version today, and spent a little time learning some of the changes, and I thought I would share what I thought in case anyone out there is nervous about the unknown ^_^

Firstly, its essentially the same as Flash. The same dependable machine I’ve always trusted.  Its just like it used to be, with a couple of tiny tweaks.

1. Onion Skin is now Blue and Green instead of a fade of the colors you’re using. So it makes it easier to differentiate the frames ^_^ a lot like Toon Boom which uses green and pink.

2. (and this is like the best thing ever) There is an ability with the brush tool that is called ‘zoom size with stage’. If you keep that checked, you are able to zoom in close without your brush turning into a super fine line, or becoming very blobby when you zoom out ^_^

That got rid of a massive headache of mine that always made it difficult to faithfully track fine detail <3 (or having to keep track of the zoom percentage to avoid a varying line)

And thats … kind of it ^^; at least that I found so far. But I was able to doodle a little Don Bluthy Mrs, Brisby, and it behaves just like it always did, except I was able to get in close and track some tufts ^^

Nothing to be worried about with the update if you’re cautious about installing the update…its really all in a name, and it still smells as sweet ^_^

and speaking of I want to wish you all a wonderful Valentine’s Day

I love you all, very very much.

All my love,

Mavis Pout Doodle

Just playing around ^__^ I’ve been having some difficulty getting my Photoshop brushes to agree with my sensibilities lately. No matter how many brushes I try out, I keep coming back to my little rough dry brush.

Oh well, little rough doodles are alright too ^_^

Hope you all have a super lovely night ^^

All my love,
