WARNING! Nerdish rant about to commence.
I cannot stand the movie title 'Tangled', it shits me more than any other title I've heard in my movie watching life. There's never been a film title that has gotten me more pissed off than this one, a stupid generic word that has absolutely no relevance to the film what so ever, and quite possibly one of the stupidest marketing decisions ever by Disney. I refuse to call it 'Tangled' and instead refer to it as it should be, 'Rapunzel' and I dare say a lot of others feel the same. So in my frustrations I took to manipulating the titles to the relative hi-res posters and soundtrack covers to read what it should say, for anyone who wishes to use the manipulated posters you can find the links here:

Rant over.

Must Have Art Apps!
Hello all! It's been a while since I last posted. Over last few months I've been reviewing application to help artists better improve their figure drawing and anatomy. The first is an anatomy app called 3D Anatomy For the Artists. This app features a very highly detailed model of the skeleton and muscles structures of the figure. The next is two are Figure Posing Apps that will help you create the exact figure pose reference you need for your illustrations and painting. The first is called Easy Pose, and the second is called Art Pose Pro, each have their own pros and cons, and these reviews take a look at what they both have to offer!
How to Draw Eyes - Intermediate Structures
Hello all! I hope you are well. I've got a brand new art class on offer all about How to Draw Eyes! As we all know, Eyes are notoriously tricky to get right with a lot of subtle shapes and forms that are very easy to overlook, so in this Intermediate Art Lesson we take a deep dive into the construction of the eyes. We'll first start with developing an understanding of the general shapes and forms at an anatomical level, we'll figure out exactly where to position the eyeball, and then we'll follow it up with another demonstration where we'll take a look at the more sophisticated shapes and forms that appear on the surface. We'll finish everything off by doing some work on the iris. If eyes have always been a challenge for you, or you're looking to level up your skills, then this is the class for you. Let's Begin! Available via Skillshare and Gumroad Lesson Breakdown: Basic Skeleton Foundations • Eyeball Positioning • Brow Ridge and Cheek Shapes and Forms • Eyelid

Time Lapse Video Commentary
I'm going to start posting Time Lapse commentary videos every so often where things like art, composition and creativity are discussed. In this first video, we'll talk a little bit about adapting a more flat and 2-Dimensional medium like comics and animation to our more lifelike and 3-Dimensional style. The character being painted is adapted from the fantasy comics series called 'Fiendish' by the very talented @RenieDraws.

The marketing for this is totally different from any other Disney fairytale - with The Princess and the Frog they did the really traditional poster art as they have since lord knows when, probably The Little Mermaid, ie sillhouetted figures, sumptuous backgrounds, but The Princess and the Frog probably didn't do as well as they wanted it to.
A lot of people think they're the ones copying Dreamworks now, instead of the other way around. If you watch a lot of the trailers, a lot of the scenes aren't even in the movie, and make it look more like a road movie than a really traditional Disney fairy-tale.
'nother thing. Look at their eyebrows on that teaser poster. Then look at the eyebrows on any posters for any one of the recent Dreamworks movies [link] Mhmm.
Leave it long enough and Dreamworks will very probably be leading in terms of style and format for family films.
One last thought! Having a title completely unrelated to what the actual thing is actually a really clever strategy in terms of advertising. It gets people talking, "Oh hey, have you seen the trailer for Tangled?" "Huh, what's Tangled?" and then the other person launches into a massive explanation. But you're right, little kids probably will be calling it 'Rapunzel'.
Sorry for taking so long to say so little!
Good job with the retitled posters, I think the title actually looks more balanced with the lower shape of the 'R' in 'Rapunzel' than the 'g' in 'Tangled'
