Sometimes sketchbooks die.
And they go to a special place on the shelf
with other sketchbooks that have passed on.
They might be gone.
But they'll always be with us in our hearts.
Like this one that booted up on
November 5th, 2014
whose sticker mash-up is called
The title page injected all manner of organisms
into this sketchbook's empty pages:
See?
Long meetings often call for a theme.
Like raccoons:
Or fishies:
Chickens:
Mice:
Rabbits:
And generally unhappy
cupcakes:
Here's a t-shirt design by

Darren Clark:

And sometimes you're just not feeling it:
But you zap it and move on:

ReplyDeleteHi, Mr. Warburton, quick question from an Animation Hobbyist if you have the time to answer.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading through your KND blog, and on the character model sheets available, there is bold print saying "NOT Proper line quality."
From a glance, the line quality of the rough models looks very similar to the finished character design. What would count as a model with "Proper Line Quality?"
Thank you very much for your time,
Adam
PS: Longtime fan of the show, saw it as it was being aired years ago. Amongst friends and acquaintances, it is considered to be top grade animation entertainment.
re: anonymous' question about line quality---
ReplyDeletewe tend to give more specific line thickness guides to the overseas studios so they know what the characters should look like in far shots, medium and close-ups.
model sheets are more for construction and while the line quality might look right on some sheets, it might not on others. so we make sure to stamp all of them.
and thanks for the sooper triple nice words!
Awesome sketches as always, loved the animal and mushroom themed pages :)
ReplyDeleteWait... is that Noodles? One of those sketches definitely looks like a Gorillaz art-style and looks like her...
And I wonder what is this non-sketchbook stuff you have to show us :P
Thank you very much Mr. Warburton, very interesting technical detail.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated,
Adam
Is that Noodle? :o

ReplyDeleteIt's now 2018, and I've just finished watching every single KND ever over the past 2 days. Now I learn 3 years after the fact you were making a SECOND SET? As long as I remain an un-decommissioned KND operative I must demand you end your evil adult in tyranny, and release my comrades back to world where KND ops belong.
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of all KND ops, and Kids around the world...
Mr.Warburton, never give up hope, and never stop trying.
KIDZ NEXT DOOR RULEZ!
(P.s can we get a sector to hack our secrets off the Web please? Embarrassing!)
Yeah! You really have some awesome drawings there.
ReplyDeleteI really love your work!
I wish G:KND was real
