I hate making hands. So much. So intricate and finicky and IMPORTANT. I *ALWAYS* make the rest of the armatures (like, completely) first and then add forearms/hands last. I put it off as long as I could, but.... 🙄... HERE WE ARE. . Let’s go. . . . . . #bringit #hustlebustlebugs #disneybooks #catherinebaileybooks #armature #kidlitart #kidlit #picturebookillustration #makersgunnamake #makersmovement #letsmakeaBOOK

I have 2 girls and a dad to make for this book (there are more people to make, but we’ll get to that later)... annnnyway, I was planning to use old armatures for the girls but after some tests, it became clear that I’d have to make new ones. Here’s a quick time-lapse of how I plan out armatures and start assembly. I’m still tweaking my time-lapse settings and camera placement so CALM DOWN, FRIEND! . . . . . #hustlebustlebugs #catherinebaileybooks #disneybooks #armature #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #timelapse #goprohero7black #gopro

Welp. Today’s getting interesting. I decided I still want to use this head but that I need to be able to “animate” it for her expressions in the book... but I can’t because I already baked it :-/ Enter: Mold Builder. I’ve never made a mold (or used one) before so let’s just see how this goes m’kay, friend? . . . . . #hustlebustlebugs #catherinebaileybooks #disneybooks #moldbuilder #dimensionalillustration #kidlitart #kidlit #sculpey #illustration #picturebooks

Repurposing puppets... Same bones but making changeable hands (like how you can replace some action figure hands for different grips/tools) and new heads. I’m still making sisters but the vibe is different so... welp... SCALPEL! . . . . . #hustlebustlebugs #catherinebaileybooks #disneybooks #puppets #makersgonnamake #xactoknife #sculpey #NEWGLASSEYES #😃
