Paddington 2 – Part 1

I had a pretty interesting gig last year (2018) that it’s high time I shared. I was hired to do some pencil drawings to be used in a short film for the Paddington 2 Blu-ray special features. All the drawings were on the theme of “politeness,” and I really put some thought into them in an attempt to keep them as charming and fun as the movie itself was.
Alas, as these things go, that particular extra feature ended up on the cutting room floor, and was never seen. However, for the next few days, I will show you some of the drawings created for it.
Can you guess what principles of politeness were being taught with these drawings?
Say it, don’t spray it.
“I think I saw a giant mouse that way.”
Bet he gets good radio reception with that.
Sparkle sparkle!

Doggone

Dogs. Lots of dogs, and all drawn with real ink. No computers needed, until posting on your blog, of course.

For those of you here in the States, hope this brings a smile on an otherwise glum Tax Day.

 

Dogs that you don’t have to walk.

Got Milk?

My sister reached out to me last week, and told me that her two-year-old wants to be Batman, but he refuses to drink his milk. She told him that Batman could only be big and strong because he drank HIS milk. My nephew didn’t believe her.

Hoping this visual helps him understand that even superheroes need their calcium.

 

It’s cow milk. Not sure how long it would take to milk enough bats to fill a glass.

Boy’s Best Friend

I never had a real pet when I was a kid, unless you count goldfish won at a fair, or hermit crabs. Those kind of pets you can’t really play with. I learned the hard way that they don’t play fetch very well.

It’s always fun to see a kid enjoying a pet, and the pet enjoying a kid. It’s kind of a carefree moment that let’s you forget the worries of the world.

 

Of course, now the kid has dog spit all over his face.

Lion & the Mouse

I was doodling around in Photoshop the other day, and started sketching a lion, which led to me remembering that old Aesop’s Fable of the mouse who freed the lion from a trap, and they became buddies.

One thing led to another, and the doodle became a digital illustration just for the fun of it. Why not, right?

 

Wildlife can be so friendly when drawn as a cartoon.

Dragon Boy

Dragons can sure be intimidating, but some lads are either too brave or too stupid to be bothered with intimidations.

 

It’s not polite to stick your tongue out at someone.

Bus Stop Bear

Hope he has success in getting the bus to stop. That morning commute can be a bear.

Spear & Magic Helmet

As the morning mists began to lift across the dew-laden grass, a small glint of sun was visible on the peak of the helmet on the steely eyed warrior bunny prepared to do battle for dominance of the strawberry patch. It was going to be a sweet day of victory.

 

Wherever carrots need liberating, he’ll be there.
