Finished Oliver & Company

So I finished Oliver & Company today. But unfortunately, I am starting to get sick. It's a pretty bad sickness that's really slowing me down in my art. Like I wasn't having a hard enough time finishing up art before the end of the summer, huh?

"091: Cloyster"

Pokemon of the Day!

Final Oliver & Company gestures! I'm gonna start a new movie some time soon.

Yesterday Flew By

I feel like yesterday flew by really fast. Most likely because I slept in a bit later than I wanted to. But I'm getting closer to finishing Oliver & Company.

"090: Shellder"

Pokemon of the Day!

Oliver & Company gestures! Getting close to the end of the movie.

Balancing

Trying to start on some more finalized digital art, while also having some down time for video game breaks. I'd say it was a fairly successful day.

"089: Muk"

Pokemon of the Day!

This is a little sneak preview of what I was working on last night. It will be done either tonight or in the next few days. I'm planning on making it into a finished Illustration, although it was originally going to just be a quick sketch.

Trying to Take a Break

Decided to give myself a little break yesterday. But even when I was trying to take a break to play Sonic Generations, it didn't run well with my computer so that was really disappointing.

"088: Grimer"

Pokemon of the Day!

Oliver & Company Gestures!

Some gestures drawn at Burger-Nuts while waiting for food.

And since I played Pokemon Ruby for about 5 minutes, I drew this little sketch to add onto Nicola's Journey that I started back in June.

Working at My Own Pace

I finally had a day where I got to relax and work on art at my own pace. I feel like I ended up accomplishing a lot more and things didn't come out as terrible.

"087: Dewgong"

Pokemon of the Day!

Finally had some time to do my own art. These are two of my characters: Ivy and Cin.

So I tried out the hand practice tutorials on Wysp and they were pretty cool.

Catching Up

Yesterday was spent catching up on work and other drawings that I didn't have time to do this weekend. 

"086: Seel"

All-Nighter

So I just pulled an all-nighter doing clean-up for a project... well basically an all-nighter. I took a 4 hour nap because I wasn't feeling well in the midst of all that. And I've got a busy weekend with family ahead of me. I may or may not keep up the daily updates depending on how busy I am. Or if I do update daily, they won't be all that big. Just a heads up.

July is Over?

I've gotta say, the first few months of summer went by really slow, but July went pretty fast. It's exciting that the end of August is approaching faster, but there's an awful lot I need to get done by then.

"080: Slowbro"

Pokemon of the Day!

After listening to Stephen Silver's Art Cast, I learned that the main thing that made him improve was doing caricatures. So I decided to practice doing some digital portraits in a few different styles. Originally I had planned on drawing caricatures, but then I realized I need practice doing portraits first. So it's kind of mixed, I guess.

Some more gestures from Oliver & Company.

Had some time for gestures while waiting for food at Burger Nuts.

Less Than a Month

So I realized there is less than a month now until I get to go back to CCAD this semester. Time to start counting down the days! In the meantime I've been working on color scripts.

Dumb Day

Yesterday wasn't the greatest of days, but I managed to get through it.

"078: Rapidash"

Pokemon of the Day!

Oliver & Company gestures I did. My marker was kind of running out towards the end, but I wanted to finish up on six pages.

Some quick sketches of The Nays that I did in the car while trying to make myself feel better.

7/29/13

Gesture Day

I got to do more gestures yesterday so that was fun.

"077: Ponyta"

Pokemon of the Day!

And some more Oliver & Company sketches!

Some gestures I did in the mall while waiting for food.

Why Should I Worry? Why Should I Care?

Fairly busy day, not much time for my own stuff. But I got to watch some more Oliver & Company!

"076: Golem"

Pokemon of the Day!

Oliver & Company gestures.

My Own Time!

I feel like it's been awhile since I got to work on my own projects. I've been so busy with everything else recently. But finally some more Project Deanster stuff!

"075: Graveler"

Pokemon of the Day!

I was playing around with some more silhouettes for the main character of Project Deanster. I ended up really liking the idea of him having a hat, so a lot of these show that. As I went on, I tried to play with the shapes and really push what I had even further. I plan on doing more of these in the near future (especially doing some for the main girl as well).

More Oliver & Company gestures.

Oliver, Don't Be Scared!

I spent a whole lot of time trying to get a computer to work with Linux, but I was having some difficulties finding one that would actually turn on, so I decided I'd post-pone the project to a different day. I worked some more on stuff for the animated short I am working on with my friends during the night, so that was fun.

"074: Geodude"

Pokemon of the Day!

Some more Oliver & Company gestures. I had a lot more fun drawing Oliver this time. Dodger on the other hand, I still need practice with.
