film character: its a boy! (not a baby)




I drew instead of taking pictures for my Film Grammar class. This is my 3rd year film character! He has poofy hair and is 9 years old. He's basically me but smarter and never got addicted to beef jerky. The second and third picture is an example of "affinity of tone shot-to-shot". If i didn't get it right, I might post the revisions, depending on whether i've stopped sobbing into my tablet.

Caricature Day!

I always have lots of fun when fellow students go up to model. It gives me a reason to stare at them instead of their work. Both tend to be very interesting!

Angles and Pens!

Start off the new school year with some gestures! 3 min poses. Dressing a naked model-- with my imagination!! (she wore a dress for a round of poses, the next round we drew the dress on her). It's pretty fun! I've always loved drapery--as long as I'm painting it in oil or a quick study in pen; anything in between seems like a headache. Our teacher, Mark McDonnell, is so very skilled at getting across concepts relating to life drawing, that each class is a welcome challenge.

groups

Chrono Trigger fan..lineart. -_-' I've been thinking of making a bi-monthly fan-image of 'groups'... and this is my first step. I like the concept of teams and how unique individuals together create an unbeatable force. And I like composing a group pic to reflect that puzzle piecing, the fated complete set of heroes that all compliment each other. ooo it's exciting!

Ice cream gif

COLORS! BEHOLD! this is also excites me to no end.

"background sketches" or "Boo hoo-hoo-hoo"

Plein air!

I had a fun day plein air-ing with Aron Bothman! Satisfying sun beams beat chilling winds.
I'm pretty sure my method of watercolor is the same way i would swirl spit around with a stick.

hands

I've been practicing hands, or, just my hand. cuz it's so close to my heart. and I thought today, they could be stronger if I put some character/acting into it. What the character is doing- the acting has been a key element in classes of animation/storyboarding/character design/life drawing.... and it works for just drawin' hands too! my brownie is baking.
