Figure Drawings 4/26/13

I'm finally going to start adding my figure drawings

COOKIES!

This is the final animatic I created for my storyboarding class. I wanted to do it in the style of the cartoon show Ed, Edd, n Eddy for some reason. I think it didn't turn out half bad. For my next animatic though I'm going to make sure to add sound effects, music, and funny noises.

Dark Necromancer of the Office

This is the Final I did for my Character Design class. Rim-lighting, the yellow side lighting for the turn about of the character, is interesting that it seems to make anything you put it on look more dimensional.

People Sketches - 4/5/13

I've discovered that I need to work on developing my figure drawing and life sketching more, so expect to see more of that. In these sketches, I try to sort of create a simple story or frame of mind in that particular moment, some of these do that better than others, but I'm going to keep working on it.

And just a word of advice for anyone who cares or doesn't think of me as a complete failure as a visual artist. If you're more familiar with drawing, you'd know that the "gesture" is the first part of a drawing and essential is the armature that gives your characters their poses and actions as well as your still-lives (subjects that aren't moving or alive) their general space relationships and shapes. It's the first step AND the most important step of any drawing. My advice is that when drawing the gesture, to look more at your subject than your paper, this will not only better tell you the pose, but will also help you check spacial relationships. So yeah, I'm not a great artist yet but I do think this is helpful advice for anyone wanting to doodle from life well.
