Sketch Dump

Here are some sketches that reside in my sketchbook - bad drawings and all. Thought it would be cool to upload full pages instead of only select drawings.

These vary from concepts and rough drawings for assignments, to my own studies outside of school.

                                     

Winter 2013 Animation Reel

So this is my current demo reel. It's very tough to crank out some solid CG animation with a full time school schedule keeping me busy.

Just some naked people I drew...

So here are some of the things I draw in life drawing. The majority of that class is spent drawing my figures so caricatured that my teacher probably hates me. It's not my fault though, it's a disorder. 

Expression Model Sheet

Here is the latest assignment in my character design course here at Sheridan. I'm actually having so much more fun in this class than I am in animation class, interestingly enough.

Anyway the assignment was to create a model sheet exploring the expressions of your character, based on their personality.

My character is meant to be an over the top, spoiled, fun loving pretty girl.
 

This is also my first time really diving deep in exploring how to draw an appealing female character. It's a very difficult, yet rewarding process.

Character Posing

So this right here is my final copy of my Character Design assignment. The task was to design a character, and then draw him/her/it in eight different poses that illustrate his/her/it's character.

I'm pretty pleased, I think I'm definitely improving at least, which is something to be proud of in itself. The drawings on the top left of the page leave me rather disappointed, I'd like to think I could do better.
With that said, I'm fairly pleased with several of the other poses, in particular the one on the top right, bottom right, center, and center left. So it seems I'm 50% happy with this assignment.

Cool beans.

I'm still struggling with balancing appeal and structure, which is constantly in my head. I'm also having a lot of trouble with pushing facial expressions to extremes, I find it causes a breaking in structure as well as appeal. I.e. having someone letting out a scream of pure terror. Something like that is a very intense challenge for me.

Even more beans of the cool variety.


I shall update again with interesting things soon, dear reader.
Until we meet again.

Hands and Feet Portfolio

Well here is my portfolio for Life Drawing class. The assignment was to draw 8 hands and 8 feet, as well as 6 short hand drawings a piece. Finally we're also marked on our title page.

I'm fairly pleased, although I think I should have gone for more dynamic posing. My drawings are rather bland.
