Drawing at work

These are from my small sketchbook I have at work. Between taking out food, draw a little here and there.




Back to finals. I need to get through em to get to gta. Heh.

I saw this pretty amazing short, via cartoonbrew, and it reminded me of how much I really do like animation. The skill in doing the character stuff alone is crazy. From the description:

"Mathieu Labaye's short-movie, a tribute to his father Benoît Labaye, who suffered from a multiple sclerosis at 29 years old. Benoît Labaye had been confined to a wheelchair since age 40 and died at 55 years old."

Ladies

Ladies from in class. All 25 to 40 min, oil.

La la la

Some quick ones. Trying to go thicker.

and first plein air in oil...

School is killing me.

Red Riding Hood Design

So, this is what I came up with for vis. dev. for my red design. I suck a character design. It's so hard to keep in mind straight vs. curves, the reference, get the acting and movement, flat vs 3d, and then, on top of that shit, come out with something that's not generic. Bleh. You look at, like, Carter Goodrich's designs, for any of the films he's worked on, and every one of 'em looks iconic. Like a timeless kinda design. How.....!






I'm gonna try to redo her near the end the term... and get something better.

Batman Beats

Some of my quick batman color beats.

doodles + finish of a quickstudy

Random stuff drawing while watching tv...

And a finished version of that boats quickstudy from earlier. Based on a photo I took down at the warf, then the quick one to get the basic colors.... and then this one. Wanted to brighten it up a bit. 18x24. oil.

Quick + DS sketches

Some more quick studies... everything is a little too warm because of the lighting when taking the photos.

..... and DS sketches! Fun stuff.

Vis Dev stuff

I seem to have lost the pure back and white versions of these boards, but here's some the beats we're doing for vis dev. I wanna flatten out the look a little more before going to the design phase. More 2D, esp. with the characters.

Red riding hood, with the wolf as a crash landed robot thingie.

Test color of Gintah's comic

Messing around with one of Gintah's prelim comic pages. Originals over here.

Old Storyboard

Here's a story I did like a year ago, maybe. I think the instructions were, it's someone's birthday, and something goes wrong.

Landscapes.... blah

Landscapes are fucking hard. Oil. Then some figures.










PS sketch I did of Allen during Robert's lecture in Vis. Dev. Pink gangster. And some doodles.

Batman Storyboard Thumbs

First rough pass.
