So they are here and it seems have always been (See trailer below) as Minions hits the big screen near you.  I have no idea whether the movie will be any good but I suspect that it will because, well who can not find a minion funny.

As a bit of an experiment I thought it would be fun to try and draw a Minion and as with all the best animation they are much more difficult than you might think.   My first attempt is on the right and looks more like B.O.B. from the Monsters v Aliens movie.  The second iteration on the left was much more like Bob.  I’m sure with more work they would become even more minionesque.  I have mentioned it before but the creation of an animated character is a really difficult process but once it has been cracked they become infinitely reusable.  To demonstrate this point take a look at 25 Unusual Despicable  Me Minion Artworks.   My favourite is Star Trek into Minion – I just love to see that movie.
