Brother Bear Humans
One of my assignments was to design some of the human characters too. So, with a bit of research, I did a series of drawings that I believed would be helpful in terms of authentic costume design for pre-Columbian natives in the New World, tools and activities.In this drawing, I have called out the tools -- and how they're used. This character is drilling through solid bone with a reed and a hands-free vice. The reason for this is to make a bone hook. The kind you see being sold as necklaces today in gift shops.
Showing a variety of different tools, and their usage, I believed would help they guys on the Brother Bear project see things in a different way.Here, I'm illustrating how the natives would have made planks of wood with an obsidian adze.
These poses and characters were all drawn without photo reference, but rather with lots of research on the usage of stone age type tools. I was fortunate to have worked on a previous project where I had already done research on this subject, and already bought the books on Native American stone tools. I'd be pretty handy if I ever ended up on a deserted island!
The drawings were drawn on newsprint with prismacolor pencil.

Beautiful Marcelo,

cool stuff... it appears like you actually researched into it. I love those bears below too.
ok im inspired for the day. Thanks Marcelo!
I love your bears, but this sketches are amazing!! you are a crack!!
Man, your work just makes me sick man, truly inspiring to say the least!
Such great work, Marcelo! So much appeal in these difficult tasks!
The amount of drawing it takes to get to the level of relaxed ease these figures show without reference. Beautifully done Marcelo!
I love to look at your drawings. Each one draws you into whatevery world you've created. Suck nice details. Your years of experience have made your naturalism and keen attention to detail second nature.
Wow,...love the life your pencil
seems to give these characters, hey feel very alive...very nice.
I must visit often for inspiration.

They are really great!!.. and it was good for you that you had bought a book about them before the project.. amazing!!
Nice to see that with all your technical and cinimatic artistic abilities, your story and emphasis on "thinking" is such an amazing asset. Your hand just gets to execute the acuteness of your mind Marcelo. Cuz, DANG!!!!

Greetings,Marcelo!O!You ideally draw!!!You very purely write in Russian!It is very pleasant!I,as well as you,"the museum person ".I too very much love Klimt.And in Russia there was remarkable artist Michail Vrubel.About Vrubelss art spoke-"it is a magic garden.But flowers,alive and fragrant,are invented,created and grown up the magician-gardener!"
Thank you very much!!!
Lena.
always amazing, can we ever hope for an art of Vignali book?
Marcelo, those are -lovely-! I have to admit though, my favourite part isn't so much the drawings as the fact that you researched the -tools- and labelled them (is my post-grad research assistantship showing through right about now? Hee.)

Man, these are fantastic drawings. It's great to know the research that went into them as well and the purpose behind them. Thanks for sharing, and I'll say it again and again until I have a copy in my hands you must make a book of your drawings!
Lovely work on these guys. The design sense is very cool.
Shit!Very nice work!

Awesome. Wonderfully rhythmic!
Tremendous drawings!
You guys are all too kind!
Askel, I'll see if I can find another bear sketch for you and Milky.
Milky, yeah, I just love doing the research.
Allen, I really look for that relaxation in a drawing. I think it's the toughest thing to draw, even more so than anatomy.
Milenko, we're better than that, we're best mates!
Mark, what are skills with no ideas? I think a badly rendered good idea is better than the other way around. So, I focus on the ideas first or a strong statement.
Thanks Tom. I'll see what I can do in the coming year.
Shuku, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, you always run yourself ragged. I don't know how you're going to do it, but you need to find a way to sleep more. Lots of sleep will keep you healthy.
so damn nice! Classic!!!!
Wow, wow,…you are a very good sketcher and illustrator,… a MASTER !!!...
I can’t describe how I appreciate the possibility to watch your works of art and … ,if you do not consider impolite , I gonna include your blog in my links!!!...
Congratulations!!! ;-)
