Miscetera

Now a bunch of stuff that you never wanted to see, but are going to anyway because this is my blog and I do what I want! The rest of this stuff doesn't really have a category. It's mostly things I drew because I felt like it and should probably not be showing the world. But, again, this is my blog and I'll do what I want, sir.

Good day.

Animation

This animation is featured in my demo reel, but here it is on its own. Let me just say that animating in flash is so much more fun than animating traditionally. You have so much more freedom to just shift things around, erase certain parts. Oh, technology.

Storyboards 2.0

This board needed a post of its own. It's a board from second year that I updated. It turned out a bit longer than expected. So much so that I needed to shove 12 boards on a page so that this one board didn't take up all the space.

Anteaters! Yay!

Storyboards!

Introductions are getting harder and harder to think of. Maybe this is why people update their blogs regularly instead of dumping everything out in one night. I'll learn someday.

First up: Boards from my action analysis project!

Second: TV Boards. The assignment was to write a short Period piece, then board an act of it. Mine was a story about a Minotaur in love with a sheep. Apparently it featured Sean Connery as a goat.

Naked People

Also some clothed people. Life drawing's become really fun this year. Partially because we've gotten to draw both nude figures and costumed ones regularly (not just having costumed figures as a one-class thing, like in previous years), and partially because the teacher this year is GREAT. If you're reading this, Tim, you're great. I don't know if having a good teacher is supposed to make this much difference, but it really does. Not worried about making mistakes or having bad drawing days so much anymore. That alone makes the difference between dreading class and miserably scratching things down while you're there and skipping to class to have a jolly old time. 

 

Update Two!

Even more things! This time, a pile of stuff that I have done for the third year film I'm a part of. It takes place in a small, cozy fruit shop somewhere in Kensington market. Originally it was going to be a graphic, flat, warped-perspective, film. Now it's somehow become a traditionally-inked, black and white...thing.

It's been fun drawing for the film, I have to say. It's one of those things where you try something you've never done before and you realize you quite enjoy it. And pen and ink is awesome. But I don't think I have any of my pen and ink stuff scanned. Hm.

Allons-y.

Colour test using someone else's lineart

Did I say "soon"?

Okay, here comes a whole load of stuff I've been working on. I'll try and break it up into smaller posts so I can feel like I've accomplished something.

A lot of portfolio stuff has been going on, trying to get the best work I have up on my portfolio site so that employers think I'm a real artist or something.  Anyway, so all of my time has been split between drawing for portfolio, sleeping, eating, and drawing stuff for myself so I don't go crazy (while thinking I should be drawing stuff for my portfolio instead of goofing off. Sigh...)

Alas, there is little point in drawing all this stuff if nobody gets to see it. So here goes!

This was already posted, but look how nice they are all on one page now!

First half of life drawing assignment. Reinterpreting life drawings into characters.

Second half of life drawing assignment. Accidental Simon Pegg. Completely unintentional, I promise.

Trying to draw in different styles than I usually do. Or at least to try things that I normally wouldn't.

Revamped first year assignment! Much better now that I know what I'm doing (somewhat)

Because you have to draw your favouritest artist in the whole world at LEAST once
