Tinkerbell thumbnails....I thought I would try something a little different and post some thumbnails I did for a scene with Tinkerbell. For those of you who have never heard the term "thumbnails", I'll do my best to explain. I could ramble on about everything it involves and how important it is, but basically they are quick little sketches done to help you plan out your scene. It's incredibly intimidating to start a scene...staring at that blank piece of paper, so having your "thumbnails" really helps you get your thoughts down and over that first hurdle. Enjoy!

Great thumbnails, Kev!
Kev these make me want to lock myself in a room and do nothing but draw till my arms falls off!!!
great ideas- lots of attitude.
is it me or are her boobies too small though?;)
It would be great to hear some stories from your experiences on the film- did you have to work with the original modelsheets for example. I remember Peter Pan looking a bit updated..
cool thumbnails kevin. they're really clean and clear. they're practically keys. nice!
Thanks everyone...
CB...lower quotas..good one!
Smook, thanks man.
Linton, please don't hurt yourself! ;)
Boris, Working on Pan 2 was fantastic!! We did have the original model sheets as well as flipable scenes to reference!! drool!! As you may know, they closed down the Toronto studio while we were just getting into it and sent it to Australia (who did a beautiful job with it!!) The sequence that my thumbnails are from was cut...story changes..but I'm happy to say that they put it in the DVD under deleted scenes!!
Willipino..Thanks!! At times,I would blow up the thumbnails and use them as rough keys.
Kevin,
Thanks for visiting. I'll be back to visit your blog and take the time to read it all trough - it looks like there are some very nice things going on over here.
Have a great day!
Dave

Eren, Thanks..I'm not sure if you read the above comment regarding this particular sequence but since you said you will check out the DVD I thought I'd better repeat it. The sequence that my thumbnails are from was cut...story changes..but I'm happy to say that they put it in the DVD under deleted scenes!!
Thanks Arna and John!! really appreciate it!
Thanks Dave.I plan on posting some more thumbnails soon.
