Pan layout

B/w and one coloured version.


Coloring in Photoshop is great for the simple reason that you can start again how ever many times you want. The multitude of different coloring choices for one layout was driving me insane.

My layout was relatively detailed, so I thought I'd keep the colours very simple here.
The layout doesn't have any specific idea other than being on the waterfront. Still missing an overlay (a ship, inevitably!!) and supposedly some character poses, but I'm really not too sure...

Burlesque life drawing

...was very difficult for me. LDC had a special session. It was like reg. life drawing, but with much more clothes and random music.
The costume was pretty nice but so detailed (TONS of frills, flowers, ribbons) that with my current approach the drawings ended up looking messy. So I was sort of coming to it from the wrong direction. But these are the sketches suitable for posting.











Although towards the end of the session I at least found I was no longer murdering the model's nicely done hair -- as much. When I do clothed life drawing again maybe I should start with the shape of the clothes instead of the body?

"Andy & Granny" - 2 character dialogue

...limited animation style. Oh so limited. Missing the background (the kid's chair and a table) among other things -- but I really like the characters I came up with.



Well now, I've been mostly voicing teenage boys in my animations so far. :P (Lee voiced Granny.)

WI: Don in an animated movie

BUNNY!

Personally I don't find this distasteful because everybody who's seen The Nightmare Before Christmas loves that axe guy.

"Future City" layout

It's crap, but it's mine. :]

With overlays:

Some recent assignments.


^ Pink Panther swinging on/climbing a rope


^ Minotaur weightlifter


^ A monkey (orangutan? Supposedly King Louie from Jungle Book) on monkey bars

WI: Caricature of classmate(s)

I'm very sad that I didn't have the time to draw every classmate right now. I can't promise I'll do it later, because you know how it goes, but I'll keep it in mind.
Yes, people in our class have character. But if you were to think it through and ask yourself which one of us IS a character -- well, the first choice is obvious.


I lack confidence (this isn't even a caricature, more like one of those Hummel figurines...), so I'll reveal that it's TIM and his "What's going on over there?"

BONUS CLASSMATE!


I guess the main reason I drew Rosy today is that I like her little hat.

More commentary:
Rosy turned out better because I drew her second. So I should have just kept on drawing. Argh dammit.
I'm newly excited by this squeaky clean, almost monotonous line style and I want to experiment more with it.
