One IP that I did an audition for but didn't get was for Despicable Me 2. I did these sketches back in 2012 and while I thought they were fine, they didn't go to another phase. Never heard more about it and I moved on. I'm not sure why I didn't get it, but you do a lot of auditions and keep moving. Or you get the reverse of it, I was approved and was on the artist list to draw Sesame Street material but then just never got any work due to where I was in the pecking order. Ultimately, if you get a gig, it's great... but just keep moving and stay open to new opportunities!
These were also done by hand on paper. Yes, they are really clean and tight for
being roughs and I inked the line to match the thin line look they
wanted. It was a fast, rough ink just to pick out and fine tune my drawings for the initial approval process as that's how
licensing goes. I also inked them in black, but once I scanned them in, I lowered the opacity on them to make them a light gray to simulate a pencil look. I used to do this from time to time.
Last thing about these... Not sure why I did two versions of Margo, but
they did give me a plaid pattern to see how it would look as a skirt, so I'm guessing it was done to show them a more detailed look as opposed to a simplified one. Enjoy!
