My Weekend Excitement

We were the greatest of friends...

Sustainability Character

Here's a character for our first Character Design class.  He had to be a sort of "sustainability mascot" for our school.  It's not due til Tuesday so I might clean it up some more.  Maybe...

From what I understood, they wanted someone cute who could also freak out on you?  I don't know anymore.

Cap U Animation Portfolio

Hello various internet people!  I'll be starting first year animation at Capilano University's 2D animation program in about... four days?  Really?  Oh man, I should really start packing or something....

In the meantime I'll make this blog somewhat entertaining and start with my accepted portfolio.  It'll be a gauge of how much I improve over the upcoming years (or be a continuous "I could have done better!" reminder).

Life Drawing - People

Most drawings were done between 15-20 minutes, with the obvious exceptions being the gesture drawings, which were done around 15-30 seconds.

Life Drawing - Hands / Feet

Not sure how long these studies took.  Time flies when you're drawing hands...

Life Drawing - Animal

This dog was amazing.  I had to sacrifice half a bag of beef jerky to keep him still for more than five seconds, but it was a win-win for both of us!

Layout / Perspective

Backgrounds are my main weakness.  Putting this up here mainly just to show that I did make the attempt...  Again, not sure how long it took.  It was more of a "keep going til it doesn't suck" kinda thing.


Character Design

Designing a character with a decent-looking turnaround was harder than I thought, but I was happy enough with the end result.

And that's it!  I'll actually try to keep this blog somewhat updated.  I've been attempting to learn Photoshop, which is kinda tricky with a mouse, but I'll post some of the results tomorrow.  Then hopefully my brand new tablet will arrive within the next few days!  (It's always smart to make an expensive purchase right when you have to pay for tuition!)
