Exhausted Perspective!

Trying to get the feel of a more applied perspective.
Some of you may remember the Ye Olde Ham Hock Inn from Little Hero Episode 1.


Here's last weeks basic walk cycle in 3d and 2d using Maya and Flipbook


Today's exhaustion is EXTREME!


This week is gonna be a personality walk. That means.... time to be sneaky!
Here's some goofy video reference that Rhys helped me with.

Exhaustion Week!

This week's theme is exhausted, perhaps its a bit too appropriate.

It's already Saturday night! That means it's time for the final concern.
Here's a couple extra concerned poses,




and a little collage.

Quick little update today, it's been rather busy.
Tonight's daily concern is uneasy concern!

Vanilla Walk

Working on a run of the mill walk cycle this week.


There's still a couple of knee pops I want to fix up, hopefully I'll get them right by the end of the week. Spent a little bit of time working in flipbook today as well. It's such a fun program!

Today's concerned pose is chaotic!

Visualize

Visualize Visualize Visualize!

Last night I finally signed up for Don's Club, the Don Bluth Animation course, now I'm kicking myself that I didn't do it sooner. Tonight was my first class and it was chock full of information. I don't usually take notes, but I ended up with a page full of notes and a page full of drawings.
The main theme he had for us today was Visualize. What makes creative people valuable is that they can never really be replaced. As Rual from ManvsArt says, "be yourself cause no one else can be" or something to that effect. That being said our creativity and our skill come from our visualization, before you do anything visualize what you are going to do and try to get as close to that as you can. Whether it's animating, caricaturing, drawing, story-boarding, illustrating, whatever visualize, visualize, visualize!

Here's a quick glimpse at today's notes. (Note to self: use darker pencils!)

Today's concern week pose is Sorrowful Concern.


Here's a little concept design I'm working on that I might turn into a logo, or menu for the site later on.

Concerned Perspective part deux

Continuing on with this week's theme here are the concerned concept sketches.


Concerned pose dos


Revised and updated the perspective work from yesterday.

Overall it turned out pretty decent, but I'm not comfortable using the softer leaded pencils in this composition ie the 4B and 6B. Hopefully it'll come easier with practice.
