Description This is Edith from Illumination Entertainment's full-length animated feature film, Despicable Me. The drawing was sketched out on paper and colored in Photoshop CS2.

What's funny about this particular sketch is that I drew it in the theater while watching the film in question. It was pitch black in there, so I could only really see what I was drawing when the screen got exceptionally bright (as in, during a daytime sequence or something). Whenever Edith came on the screen, I would take note of her design, and in so doing I ended up constructing this piece one bit at a time. It took longer than necessary, due to the darkness... and the fact that I kept stopping to watch the movie while I was sketching. Heh. All-in-all, it was a fun, if somewhat difficult, exercise.

I just got a story about Edith uploaded right now. ''It's called ''Edith goes to the doctor''. Please no bad comments I put a lot of effort into the story.

Oh, cool. I hope that you succeed in it if you do try it out! It's a rather difficult exercise, but a fun one nonetheless.

I was putting my 3D glasses in place every few seconds XD
I love how you drew little Edith, I think she was the one who was sassier than her sisters X3
Edith was awesome, Margo is sweet and Agnes... Agnes takes the cake, she is down right adorable

Mitch-el In reply to Tifa-the-Strange [2010-08-06 07:09:52 +0000 UTC]

Ha-ha!

I concur. She seemed to be the more rebellious and tomboy-ish of the three. Margo and Agnes had their own charming personalities, too, though, as you mentioned.

Thank you for the kind comment!

SharkeyGirl [2010-08-04 21:25:37 +0000 UTC]

This is a very cute drawing.

I have a question, though: how are you able to color your sketches without tracing the line in Photoshop?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Mitch-el In reply to SharkeyGirl [2010-08-04 21:58:32 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much.

After uploading a drawing into Photoshop, create a new layer on top of that and set that new layer to "Multiply". Once you do that, you can draw behind the lines! If you still have trouble, feel free to let me know.

Wow you're good I never did anydrawing in the theater when it's dark. I'm more focus on what I'm seeing on sceen. And when I get home I draw it from memory.

Mitch-el In reply to Slasher12 [2010-08-04 21:16:35 +0000 UTC]

Ha-ha. Well, thank you very much!

It's not easy, I'll tell you that. Heh. Although I've drawn in the theater several times, I think that this is the first sketch that turned out okay. Most, if not all, of the others were horrible. (snigger)

You're pretty good at drawing stuff from memory! I have trouble with that.
