Character Timeline

Here is my latest assignment for Character Design class. We had to design an anthropomorphic character and show them in 5 different stages of their life: Infant, youth, teen, adult, and elderly. 

Overall, I'm a bit back and forth on this one. There are poses I like, and poses I don't. I really don't think it's one of my best assignments, so hopefully my next one will turn out better.

I went to a Zoo

I gotta say, I've never drawn animals at the Zoo before, and it's like, the most fun thing ever. Better than eating ice cream even.

Anyhow, these are the results of that day at the zoo. Drawing the Gibbons and the Orangutans were probably the highlight of the whole trip.

Life Drawings and Such

So here are some drawings done in my Life Drawing class. They range from caricatures - my favorite of which is currently in my teachers possession for grading, I'll upload it later - to exercises in movement, to standard life drawings.

Look at them if you'd like. Hell, look twice even. But don't you dare look a third time.

Some Excitingly Good Pencil Tests

No, they're not mine. I said they were excitingly good didn't I?

We were lucky enough to have John Musker come in to Sheridan a few days ago, and
I decided to record the lecture. I'm still trying to get the whole thing ready to upload, but in the meantime I've uploaded a particular segment of his 2 hour lecture.

Here are some pencil tests from Glen Keane (and at least one or two other animators I'm sure) for the "Part
of your world" sequence from The Little Mermaid, as well as early tests from Eric Goldberg for Aladdin.


Enjoy!

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.
