Life Drawing Finale

ok, so finished up school finally... not sure where I'm currently standing with the school, but I'm moving ahead with my work. I've start into hands and feet studies, and working hard on character rotations... I'll be posting a few this weekend I hope.










and here is the final reductive drawing... the image didn't turn out great cause I didn't have the proper lighting to capture it, but it turned out great...


And I was finally able to finish off the leica reel


I'm still not really happy about the final few seconds... I'll likely be extending the finale a bit beyound the music to have him fly away a bit smoother and further... with more emphasis on his celebration

Starting to put more characterization into the subway sketching... I'll be trying to the push the exaggerations and try to work in full body characterization...







Layout - I haven't really posted much work from layout in the past, cause its another course that I've struggled til recently... This first one is the last assignment in the course... had to replicate a pan from Pinocchio

We also did a few scenes from curious george... didn't push them to the final line, but think I get across the proper structure and layout for the scenes...




I'll likely be posting more school stuff before the end of the weekend, still trying to organize the studio... its just a mountain of paper still....

Final Days

Well year 2 is coming to a finish... have to admit the crunch period really got me this year.. I still have a few more final assignments to finish up over the weekend... but not really going to sweat it too much...

ok, so I got the secound set of prolonged poses to start posting... Still have the final pose next week, but think they are turning out pretty well... This first one is a reductive technique, which I kinda messed up on... I didn't have any willow charcoal, so its a soft pastel which doesn't really get removed very easily... turned out darker then it should..




Right, and the final cartooning assignments... I won't really go into too much detail, but suffice to say that I've struggled with cartooning in the past... but I think I've really started to work the concepts properly, and hopefully I can greatly improve my character design over the summer.



I've decided to move ahead with my animation project this month, I'll have the character rotation and some poses to post later
