Lots of Work

Class work I've been doing throughout the week. And this isn't even all of it. More to come.

Some measurements and floor plans for my subway interior that I am creating in my Computer Animation class.

Portrait from class. I still have a long way to go in figuring out how to match likeness.

Some sketches I did during class. I really need to go out and practice these more, because I can tell I'm fairly out of practice.

Late Post

I meant to post this a few days ago, but I've been so swamped with homework that I completely forgot about it. Anyway, these are mostly just sketches and drawings from the week. I literally kept forgetting about my sketch journal and threw them together even more quickly than normal.

This portrait was probably one of my better ones for the class. My theory is because I was less exhausted since one of my classes was canceled in the morning.

Another portrait that I did for class. I was still getting warmed up and failed to line up the facial features correctly.

Animation Updates!

This week in Animation III we started animating our short. I ended up getting some of the roughs done and I re-learned some things about timing and charts. Overall it was a successful week.

Here's the rough animation I did.

Some sketches of the character in my animation, Kai.

Gestures drawn from the Three Caballeros.

Animal Studying

So much for my daily updates. I'm falling behind in posting my stuff. But anyway, I'm now three weeks into my first semester of junior year and work is piling up already. I've been staying on top of things, but it's still been hard to keep up.

Gestures done at the zoo. Mostly focused on timber wolves this time. I also tried out doing a few environments.

Anatomy studies of timber wolves and brown bears.

Stressss

So I've been super busy with classes and homework. So much that it's kind of stressing me out. Coming up with ideas is honestly the hardest part recently.

I did this little sketch of my character, Pubby, the other night to try and cheer myself up and take a break from homework.

Some more sketches I did for my Computer Animation class. These ones are of all the extra miscellaneous objects that will be lying around on the subway.

Learning!

So yesterday was an extremely helpful day. It was a really good day, which was a big change from the day before, which was not so great. But I learned a whole lot in all three of my classes that really helped me out and will most likely be what I needed to improve more quickly. I feel like today was an eye-opening day for me and I'm excited to learn a lot more and practice these techniques.

Sketches done at the zoo for class. I studied brown bears and environments for the day, since the wolves weren't out. After the critique of them, I learned some pretty neat techniques that I have to try out in the future.

Working with basic frame in Portrait Drawing. The first portrait was before learning the concept though. The whole concept is great and I'm sure it'll be very helpful in my future pieces.

Symphony Hour

This week's main assignment was doing the in-betweens for a portion of Symphony Hour. There are some more gestures and other exercises done during class as well.

The clip from Symphony Hour. I did the in-betweens, while the keys were given to us.

Gestures done from Peter Pan. I decided to use the cintiq this time instead of my sketch book. I think they came out nicer than the ones I've done for class in the past.

These were gestures from Tom & Jerry.

An exercise we did in class, dealing with making our characters expressive.
