Artist of the Day: Nicolas Weis
Continuing our week of looking at some of The Croods crew’s work, take a look at the art of Nicolas Weis, who served as a visual development artist on the film.
His website is full of sketchbook drawings of fantastic structures, observational drawing and many dragons, which he comments “are like kitten videos, people like them…”
The simple, rapid blots and washes of watercolor over pencil and pen lend his creatures an energetic liveliness and a real sense that they could exist in our chaotic, gritty, physical world.
