Moving

So, I'm moving in April. Moving out into the country, getting out of the suburbs. At the very least I'll have my own room for a year or two, rather than sharing one with three others. So, at this point there still won't be any art updates till I get settled. I'm going to keep on practicing though, I'm rusty as it is already.

My only hope, is that my families business won't tie up too much of my time. I barely have time to do much now as it is, so I've got to buckle down and do something.

Anyways, thought I'd relay the old news.

Preston Blair Studies

Here are some cartoon head studies I've done, these are from the old and new version of Preston Blair's book.

I really like the older version, the new version isn't as good.

I see improvement, but I'll be revisiting these again soon enough.

Maybe we'll also see an improvement of frequent posting... maybe.

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.
