The worst, well, you know. Some day maybe I'll show the disasters? The end results equal sales.

I often reflect upon animation in the old days when "in-between" illustrations were hand drawn and not computerized...oh the hours! This piece is lovely! In fact, my mother-in-law collects tins as they are truly works of art...your work is beautiful!Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703768956294366254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-87487772562992154772010-09-08T10:40:49.945-07:002010-09-08T10:40:49.945-07:00Thanks for the follow Sue!Thanks for the follow Sue!Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-24547833744470594022010-09-08T07:33:07.065-07:002010-09-08T07:33:07.065-07:00Thanks everybody!

Now there are a lot of people who just don't have the same level of experience, and that shows to the artists they direct. I'm not so sure the people who hire them get that. There's an idea out there that young people are somehow more creative and vibrant than people who've been in the business longer. I think that's a mistake, but that's the way it is. Nothing against young people, but they have a lot to learn.Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-21356090259091142472010-09-06T20:13:58.691-07:002010-09-06T20:13:58.691-07:00That's a good policy.

It's amazing how different the experience can be with different A.D.s-- I don't so much mind the ones who are perfectionists since I pretty much roll that way myself. It's the ones who say they want one thing, & then when you give it to them decide they want something completely different, who really drive me bonkers. Even if they pay extra for the second treatment it wreaks hell with the schedule!!Curious Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180271950246123614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-64649207359489729322010-09-06T19:29:09.586-07:002010-09-06T19:29:09.586-07:00Thanks Tiffany!

I don't make obvious mistakes on purpose, but I do try to head people off by giving them options to choose from. Mostly I try to express my love to the AD's I enjoy working with so they'll keep me busy and I don't have to work with the others as much :)Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-32845819386985105812010-09-06T18:54:11.168-07:002010-09-06T18:54:11.168-07:00Haha, I can totally relate on the highlight thing....Haha, I can totally relate on the highlight thing... I'm pretty OCD about highlights myself but now & then something slips by in the rush, & oh, what a headache.<br /><br />Reminds me of an illustrator's comments in an annual years ago-- he said he always makes one big, obvious mistake on purpose, because some A.D.s just have to change SOMETHING, & if there's nothing obvious they may opt for "turn all the figures 1/4 to the left!" ARGHHH!<br /><br />I never could quite bring myself to do that but with some A.D.s I've been tempted!! At least now all the changes can be made on the computer. I started out with just ink & paint, & that turned every headache into a migraine!Curious Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180271950246123614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-69090743686090857402010-09-06T08:24:38.290-07:002010-09-06T08:24:38.290-07:00Thanks for the comment on my cupcakes blog.

I really like kids when they belong to someone else, and especially like the older kids who are trying to figure out how to be adults. I also had a job where I organized fine arts classes at a community center. That was fun. Sometimes I do think about teaching again.Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.com
