2D scene

So after having worked on some tests and exercises during the internship. I think I have had enough failures, which have been some serious learning experiences. To try and tackle something just a bit more difficult and slightly more finished. The goal with this one, besides it being a solid piece of animation (hopefully), is for the keys and breaks to all be added. As well as all of the meaty timing concepts. Not to say that Tweens are not important (every drawing is important, despite the hierarchy), just that I will not have the time to tween the animation. Or do any serious cleanup (or any most likely). This is just about the animation, and being able to tackle 2D,and do it well (hopefully haha). Anyways here are some sketches for the scene.

Gesture Drawing today at the Zoo

Visited the Central Florida Zoo today as apart of my internship. All to do some gesture drawings of some animals (super fun). I tried out some new drawing techniques today as well which was even better.

Quick sketches

So I am trying something a little new so that I can try and stay on top of my work and updating my blog. Just a different technique that allows me to take the rough sketches and block outs on my iPad and post them from my iPad. Alleviating the gap between the sketch and the posting will, I am hoping, help me stay up to date. As well as make me a bit faster, and get me to produce more work ultimately.

So with that said, here are some sketches I did today. I will push them forward as soon as I get some extra time (and I am not sketching out some new ones) as well as the one from last post. It wouldn't be such a bad thing to have a decent pile of rough sketches waiting to be finished. That way when I am fresh out of new ideas, I can take some time to revisit the other ones and refresh myself.

Illustration Blockout

I have been getting back into illustration on my down time. I had more sketches and rough works but they were unfortunately lost. This is the most recent and only one that I have currently. But, I do like it. My workflow recently has been to rough out the sketch on my iPad. And I may or may not give it a rough color treatment or further the block out. Than I save it out and work on it further in Photoshop. So this is the current illustration project.

I call this one "Make Friends"

2D Animation Internship Update

I have been running around a lot recently, so it goes without saying that I have not been good about the blog accuracy. Well I have graduated ( Salutatorian, Course Director's Awards, and 2nd highest grade on reel). And since than I have started a 2D Animation internship at the school. I am not really happy with any pencil tests to post them since they are just exercises. But, will be soon. Anyways here are some sketches from the internship. Some are character designs, life drawings, thumbnails, etc... Will try and stay more up to date from now on since I have gotten more used to the schedule.

Revised Final Reel

I had a critique on some presentation points so I have re-cut the reel. It is a bit of a different edit with a few new little dressings on it and a couple of tweaks. So it is worth it. And I have re-posted it on the site and on youtube as well as vimeo and removed the other one.
