Studies - Hogarth and Mickey

Some more studies, but I've taken a break from the cartoons and went at Hogarth. More precisely I did what I did with the cartoon studies, but rather I drew from Hogarth's books. I'm glad I did some cartoon study first though, and it built some hierarchy into my sketches. Unfortunately though I draw too large, and my scanner isn't quite the size I need it to be. So I'm probably going to be putting pieces together, like I did with the second image. Although the cartoons shouldn't be getting that treatment, just the Hogarth's

Studies + Old Caricatures

These are about a month and a half old, but still the best caricatures I've done so far. All it means, is that I need to be a bit more observant.





I don't know why, but I find the more interesting drawings to be easier to draw... it's either that or I get more involved with more interesting images. Either way, wolf is easier than the dog.

Studies

Well here is another post on my studies, and I've got so much more to work on. I've at least taken the step to start, hope I can learn to apply what I have learned as well.

Animation

Wow, two posts in the same day! What a record!

Anyways, some animation tests I did while interning.

Self critique

Just some self critique for my own reference, and to show what I'll be doing to improve.

Studies

So I've been doing some studies from John K's blog, this is merely to show my progress in my studies. I hope you enjoy.

Hello out there!

Kinda windy out here in the blogging world, expected it to be a little smaller. Oh well, another reason to talk to myself eh?

Anyways, just posting some pics of my desk I'm working at, and with some books and drawings to help inspire and motivate me to my dream of animating.

Not exactly organized, but I know my way around.

These are the books I've got to look at, and I haven't been looking at them with enough enthusiasm. I should read them until the books get worn out, while applying what I learn.

These next few images drawn by Chuck at the studio, they're not my drawings. I've got a ways to go, until I come close to what Chuck has obtained.

Love the fish.

This is based on Sheridan's cat for the portfolio entry, and Chuck really went into this one. Love the snap.

This one was pretty sweet, makes me want to start my internship all over again.


I must say though, I had a lot of fun watching Chuck whip these out. Even if it meant missing my train, these were just great. Its unfortunate that he was too busy, but it got me to meet some of the other artists too.


Now these two were done by Trever Dean Freeman, who was a very patient artist. He is the one behind my character's design, giving me various versions to try out. My original design was absolutely horrible, and Trevor really helped me understand shape to a characters design.

I unfortunately don't have enough space to place more drawings from studio around my desk, so I'll have to take photos of the others separately.

Here is a link to Chuck's studio, check it out if you've got the time.
