Quick Draw @ Work

This was a 40 minute adventure. The first of its kind with many more to come!

Animation Memories from 2008...

Sadly we were missing some faces... But if ya don't show up to class you're bound to miss something good. (Current evidence being Gesture Drawing 101. Don't even bother putting on the headphones. You'll end up wishing you hadn't.) Anyway... I love these pictures. Animation and photography should mix more often. Sometimes it leads to some pretty fantastic results.

Gesture Drawings

Here are some of the drawings from class that actually worked. Out of 20-30 drawings I get maybe one or two I like well enough... Maybe that's an exaggeration. But that's what it feels like. And I have lost my painted sketchbook and am feeling slightly devastated. So if anyone happens to see it wandering the halls of the hfac, let me know will ya?

2D FX Project

I'm not sure if there's anyway to get these to loop... And you don't get much of the effect if they don't go for more than a second.

New Sketchbook!

I was pretty jealous of everyone's sketchbooks (Well Jake's in particular)... So I created my own cover. Hopefully it'll trick me into actually carrying my sketchbook around everywhere because I like it. That's the plan anyway. Yeah. This project also made me realize I don't hate acrylics as much as I thought I did. It just takes patience . LOTS of patience.

New Markers!

I was so excited to try out my new copic markers! And I've been converted. They remind me of watercolors--though I was a little frustrated because the sky in each of these turned out a little too dark. If anyone knows how to make a lighter, more smooth gradient I'd be forever grateful.

These are all studies of Geneva Steel for my lighting project. Felt like a spy or something sneaking back across the street to take pictures and draw every couple of hours... Pretty fun.

Dragon Maquette

I'm pretty happy with how this one came out. Though I wish I could lengthen his neck now... The scale detail work really helped helped it look more like a dragon. Oddly enough it had looked more like a sheep than a dragon before... (At least his expression did.)
