Animation

Last week of working on my animation for class. Another great term behind me and on to the next.

I have heard

I have heard all about the general to specific when drawing and I always thought that I understood what that meant... Nope, I have realized that pose, or gesture as some books like to call it, is one of the most important thing to get down. It portrays the attitude, the thoughts, actions and other things needed to fully develop a drawing to its end... It seems as though keeping an open mind to whats going on around you and to information found in books, even if they don't specifically apply, will ultimately benefit the progress of your work. It's these important connections and thought processes that, for me, improve the work produced.



There are many things wrong with this drawing but the important part was drawing the whole figure and it being clothed. This being Hellboy, and it was on Tv a lot today.

Having some fun

I am really trying to push the way things look and having a lot more fun with my drawings. It really seems like the more I relax and try not to push or take it too seriously things pan out better.

Back to basics

The kind of art that got me into art in the first place.

Style

I have always wondered what my drawing style was/is. So today I refused to let my self try to emulate other artist, no tv, no web surfing, nor any reference and here is what came out.




Really what I should be doing is building a portfolio of what I am capable of for animation but this was rather fun to do. Hopefully more to come.

doodles

Daily drawing sharpens the skills.




Doodle and sketch. I should say that the The Secret of NIMH character was from a character sheet I was referencing.

Continued

What my animation looks like for the last turn in. Also some drawings, daily drawing is a must, they don't have to be good but there should be something you are trying to learn or figure out while drawing them.
