Pocket Full of Colors: The Magical World of Mary Blair, Disney Artist Extraordinaire - by Amy Guglielmo and Jacqueline Tourville, illustrated by yours truly, Brigette Barrager. A magical book about a magical lady!
While Carnaval is technically all of this week, the big celebration is Friday the 25th. I just couldn’t help but draw my human Zé decked out for it with appropriate feather costuming. And glitter. Lots of glitter. (Plus deliberately trimmed/shaped chest hair which I am not good at drawing.) I also made sure to include homages to the other to Caballeros, via the blue circle and red triangle. Anyone who’s seen Legend of the Three Caballeros knows what those are, when combined with the green square!
Also, wanted to highlight the two tattoos I gave him! The first is three hearts arranged in a sort of clover shape in green, red and blue, indicating himself and his two best friends. The second is a visual representation of samba rhythm! Tic-tic toc-toc tic-tictic toc-toc! I’m especially fond of that one.
Thanks to Matt Danner talking about Lot3C for 45 minutes on a podcast yesterday, I finally got around to finishing this! My primary idea behind this was three angles, three emotions/expressions. From there I just… did it. XD
Fun fact: I’ve never drawn either Donald or Panchito before this project. I think it says a lot about my art, personally, that I’m now at a point where when I draw a character for the first time, I can confidently say, “Yeah, that looks like them!”
