Sketch Dump

Heads

Some head I sketches I did in class after watching a video on Native American reservations in anthropology and a combination of ideas when listening to my lecture in character design class...of course I strayed a tad from some of the more realistic shapes...... but the shapes are the focus none the less.

character sketching

Some character stuff I whipped up. Exploring shapes and line and contrasting lines, straight versus curved, and learning to draw through the character and not around it. Its all about trying to convince your audience that the image is existing in a 3d dimensional space on a 2 dimensional plane.....well at least that's what the books say( cough cough)

still motion

To get a feel for animating characters I thought about watching some dvds and sketching sequential frames to study some movement. I landed on Pirates of the Caribbean and started these line drawings from there. Attitude, posing, the basics. Good exercise.

Chef Le "Poop"

Recent preliminary sketches for the walk cycle. I was trying to get to know the character and I made some headway and the walk turned out ok, but there were some technical issues with it. It was the first pass so I'll finesse it and see what the results are in the mean time I'm staying busy. Hope you are too!

Out For a STROLL

looking at artist idea pops, had to get it down in the sketchbook.

Will work for Tips.

Nuff said.

People in places

Just drawing in the library and in class, i was watching some tutorials about how you can squeez in a figure or get a sense of volume from clothing alone. If your trying to capture someone quickly out in the open world it seems like the logical approach so it yielded interesting results, I think I use to try it. Things would get all fuzzy these felt a bit tighter. I had fun with these but I need more practice and need to do more so lets see what happens. I'm still working on the other stuff so I'll keep it going and post when it's more solid... need some color and value in my world!!
