At the Zoo

Took a day to draw at the zoo. Times flies when you're drawing animals... I really enjoyed it, which is a good things because I need a lot more practice and therefore hope to be going back soon. Also, got a membership, so if anyone is up for more zoo drawing trips in the near future, let me know! These are just a few of my better ones..

Shake Your Groove Thang

"ah, ah, ah, ah, Stayin' Alive! Stayin' Alive!"

Just a Peck on the Cheek

Our last animation project of the year: Animate a flour sack interacting with something else.

My "something else" was a female flour sack. This animation seemed to take longer to complete than the previous ones, although I'm fairly pleased with the results. I learned REALLY how important it is to plan ahead and storyboard so you know what you're doing, don't waste time, and paper (don't ask me how many sheets I had to throw away until reaching my final result...)

..so plan ahead, lesson learned!

..from painting class

A couple of projects done this semester. A landscape layout showing both night and day (done in guache), and the other was an exercise in rendering a reflective surface (done with chalk pastels).

"Disco Dane"

He's fun, he's carefree, (probably a bit of an egotistical snob) and he'll bust out those dance moves all night long. Last character design project of the year.. i tried to avoid drawing "another cute character"..eventually i hope to give him some colour.

Great Dane

A great dane out on his daily walk..for our animal walk cycle project in animation.
