Start

What's the porpose of writing a blog? I don't know, honestly. At least, start writing it takes a bit of motivation because you're not easily recognized and it can be harsh to deal with the fact that you are working up to something that isn't having any sort of recognition in any way. I'm not talking about financial recognition or anything, I'm just saying that the question that used to wander around my mind would be "why starting a blog if I won't have any readers?". I've had a bunch of blogs before and none of them worked and it can be pretty demotivating, since you'll just sit there, putting a little bit of your heart in what you're writing and then nobody actually likes it or even gets to read it. It is a bit unsettling to me that I want to write a blog for people to read it and not for me, but it is the actual truth.
So, today, I created a new blog. I don't have a single clue of what will happen in here honestly. I just wanna make this a light place in which I can express what I like.
So I am going to start by talking about one of my favourite things: Disney. Hell fucking yeah, Disney. Disney is my happy and safe place. I love the films. I never went to a Disney park before (unfortunally) but I am pretty sure I am going to cry in the day I put a toe in that place. It's just magical. For years I've wanted to work as a Disney artist. A concept artist, an animator, anything. Then my artistic directions took other roads (I love art, I try to be an aspiring artist) but, recently, I've re-watched one of my most loved Disney films that I didn't watch been ages and it was Lilo&Stitch. It's just a wonderful film with amazing art and greatly developed characters. The characters, besides some of them being aliens, are so realistic. Lilo and Nani for instance, I'm pretty sure a ton of people could relate with them. Stitch's pain for not having a family, it's so sad. Everything is cool and Hawaii seems to be the perfect scenario for that. So, I wanna show some of my favourite artwork Lilo&Stitch related because it just makes me go back to those days of really wanting to be a Disney artist. All this artwork is by people who worked at Disney and made the film.

Storyboards by Andreas Deja

Painting by Peter Moehle, in watercolours. In this film, they chose to make the backgrounds in watercolours just like it was made by Disney artists in the time Dumbo was made. After Dumbo, they started using gouache but they went back.
Concept art made by Chris Sanders, one of the writers and directors of the film, that also voiced Stitch.

These artworks are awesome and a bit different from Disney's usual style but they're just phenomenal.
