Girls

After a powerful burst of inspiration yesterday, I came home and drew a ton. A lot of it was girls, I don’t really know why I don’t draw them more often.

These are two of the drawings that I ended up taking into photoshop.

Figure Drawing

Some more Figure Drawing stuff.

Im going through a really strange phase of my life drawings. I’ve been reading the two books recently published containing legendary Disney life drawing instructor Walt Stanchfields notes Drawn To Life. These 2 Volumes are brilliant, I have learned so much from them already, in both life drawing, and animation.

Problem is that since Walt focused so much on Gesture, story and energy (which have always been something I loved, so its right up my alley), he pretty much purposefully ignores form and structure. Those are the two biggest things I have been trying to actually bring into my drawings, I was very weak in them before. I feel I had come quite far in my knowledge on structure by the end of the last semester, but now, as I try to focus all of Walts teachings into my drawings, I feel like Im losing all that I struggled to learn recently.

So lately its been a battle to keep all that I had with me, while taking in the new stuff. Wish me luck.

Warm up

This was just pretty much a warm up animation I did to get myself into shape for doing my demo reel stuff. Total work time was probably only 5 days, so in that light, Im kind of happy with it considering my earlier pieces and their work time.

Doc!

Another trip to Dr. Sketchys. I love drawing there, way too fun.

Heres a few.

This got lost somewhere

This was supposed to be a post that would fill the gap while I was on break. But then these drawings got buried somewhere.

These are life drawings from the last week of last semester. Not from my first week back. You do not want to see those.

Last bit o’ Work

These are the last couple things Im willing to share from the end of the Semester.

First up is my final texturing assignment. The Fruit Bowl.

I take way too many shortcuts with texturing…

Also here is my box lift assignment

Im still not very comfortable with animating in Maya, obviously.

Dr. Sketchys Again

Went again on Monday

The model and costumes were fantastic.

My drawing quality not so much.

Also, a dude on the subway

Animation Void

So its been pretty obvious lately I havent shared much in the way of animation. Im still getting used to Maya, and havent been able to put together any animation that I want to show off. Only lately I’ve been able to be sorta pleased with my animation, in comparison to what I was animating before hand.

Walk Cycle

Lip Sync

 

I obviously still have ALOT to learn
