Progress on Story and Other Doodles

First is the sequence of "storyboards" for my final for Writing for Animation class. There not like real boards because I haven't learned how to do them right. I cut a lot of the included text from the actual script




Richelle is the character in the story. I am trying to find how I should draw her.
The rest are random sketches or the original sketches for my final art project last semester. I like the lines of the sketches better than the inked versions.

Just some Figures

Just some of my better figures this semester. Too bad my apartment has horrible lighting.

Self Portrait

I went to CTNX a few weeks ago. I had a lot of fun learning more about animation and meeting people!
I have been slaving over this art project. Life size self portrait. So this is about 6ft by 3ft. My idea was to represent my story ideas as blooming. I made them color because someone's creations are remembered when the personality of an individual is not. I had fun drawing the characters but transferring from the sketch to another paper hanging on my wall and then finally to ink made them lose their line quality. The floral design wasn't planned in advance and probably would be better if it was
I do not like drawing myself, especially life size. I need to work on portraits.

Two More Figures

My art teacher told me I ruined this because I smudged the lines a bit when I was making a soft layer for a skin base. But I wasn't concerned so much with my line or even finishing since I was more concerned with the composition and then the hands. I really like the cropping...I don't know why I turtled through this. Only lines in three hours. I must have been tired.



This was fun. I like the things this model puts in his hair. Crooked background though....

I can't wait for Tangled!

Skeletons

My art midterm. I wish I could have put more time into the muscles...These are about 6 1/2 feet tall.

Weight Animation. Needed a few more frames at the end.

Besides, that midterms and working on a video game project are keeping me very busy. Though I took out a large chunk of my schedule to meet the Japanese animation students who visited my school. It was very interesting. Got to go to Sony Imageworks and Animation with them. I was so glad that the tour manager specially arranged Japanese speaking employees to talk to them about their work.

Freshman Fall Semester Animations

Here are the animations I did the Fall of my first year, (at least the ones I liked):
I realized I never put them up.

During the summer my sister and me did some fanart to sell as prints at a convention. My sister drew the males, I drew the Pokemon (Pikachu, Eevee, and the Beedrill), I compiled it in photoshop, did the background, and colored it all. I want to get better at photoshop. I used the smudge tool a lot which I heard is not a good way to color in it. I will take a class next semester I hope.


Another Pokemon fanart for the convention. I drew the girl (please ignore her huge hand!) and Furret, while my sister drew the boy and Zubat and Gastly. She inked it and I colored/toned it in Photoshop. I wanted to play around with a coloring style I saw, but I didn't do it right.



Made this back in December. It was for a cosplay organization near me. Sis drew the boy and the background. I drew the girl and colored it. I've never been to the meetings, but I usually do the shirt designs. Done with ink and copic (which smudged in some spots.) Sparkles with photoshop.


This was for a local Thanksgiving race organization. I won first place with my design. I had entered two years ago and was asked to reenter. This design will be on a shirt. They seem to like the childish look for the contest.
