The first drawing is of Woody and little Bo Peep from Toy Story 1, 2, and 3 by Pixar. The movies that they have created so far has always been brilliant and I think the one that stands so far for me is the very first one. I was seven years old when this movie came out. Although I never watched it in the cinema, my father bought it for myself and my brothers when it was released on video. There was a lot of merchandise of Toy Story back then. Other than Woody I've always love Bo Peep. She was his girlfriend. There were small snippets of the love appearing from time to time. The music to the film has always made me smile. The theme song to the film was some brilliant. Now it'll be probably be weird of me saying this but I have yet to watch the third movie. I still haven't watched it. ^_^; However the reason as to why I wanted to draw these two was because some time this year I hope to read a new book that was written by someone from Pixar. Also it seemed necessary to pay homage to Toy Story movies. There were a couple of documentaries back in the early 2000's of how a the movie came together and I always find this fascinating. So here's the drawing. It was drawing from memory:
The next fan art is of Rosie and Jim by Ragdoll Productions. This was another programme that I watched during my primary school days. It was very interesting to watch and I guess it was probably one of the shows that I really enjoyed from Ragdoll Productions. From what I can remember from my child hood there were two boat narrators. There was a catch. Both of them were children's Illustrators. The first one communicated with the audience and told stories about where he was going as well as making stories involving Rosie and Jim. The second narrator had left me quite astounded back then. This boat narrator was in fact a female. She created an illustration before she left the boat and when she returned. Rosie and Jim seemed to be present within the drawings but the illustrator had a great habit of hiding the other character Duck. From there it was up to us to find where he was. I admired her for the was she illustrated both of them. She was one of the earliest Illustrators of my childhood to appear on TV and draw. The troubled thing about this was that I'd forgotten her name. So here's Rosie and Jim in monochromatic orange:
The next fan art is of Sooty, Sweep and Soo from the series Sooty. The character Sooty was created by Harry Corbet. This was another great show to watch when I was young and it was always exciting. This series has stood out from many generations because the younger generation of to day now know who Sooty is. There were always things he and Sweep get into that seemed to be very funny. Soo also played a part in this too. The programme that I saw that featured Sooty, Sweep and Soo was Matthew Corbet and he was the one that I can remember really well in most of the shows. Today there's a recent show with the same name but with someone else. He's name is Richard. This drawing includes Sweep, Soo and Sooty himself.:
The fourth and final fan art for today is of BBC Proms 2014. It begins today and I thought that it would be great to draw a very young conductor trying to draw the orchestra within the music. Today I was listening to Woman's Hour and involved some violinists and cellists from the Chinese Philharmonic Orchestra who will be taking part in BBC Proms. I felt inspired to draw this even thought there's a small link to it.:
Next week will mark a year since I've started Fan Art Friday. Hopefully by then I'll reveal where or not I will continue. Thanks for visiting my blog and please leave a comment.
