Doodles and Stuff

Hi! I haven't posted in a while so I wanted to make a big post of stuff I been doing lately in my new sketchbook. Also I have some storyboard stuff for my upcoming comic. Anyways the first two images are copies, one from a strip howie post did and another is a disney cover.

Personally, I enjoyed doing the howie post one better not just it has less detail than the disney one, but I just thought the composition was more interesting. When I first glanced at that post panel I thought it was really generalized, but after copying it I noticed post was able to illustrate so much depth with few lines. The whole left side of the upper panel is blank and that area is what makes the composition compelling. When I copied the disney cover it did take me longer, but I feel the overall composition is just as appealing as post's.

I also did some caricatures watching movies and observing friends/family

Here is the first sketch of one of the main character's of my comic, Kip. I did this long ago please don't judge lol :P..... I also like this page b/c I made Skud's, the snail, shell look like a urinal.

Another quick sketch, 2 characters here are also in the comic Bobo and Cleft. Really, really soon I promise to upload the character studies of them for now I only have these sketches to show.

Some backgrounds

SKUD!

Here are some storyboard drawings I've been working on. There still in progress and I am going to post some more later, but not too much because I don't want to reveal the story away.

Well that's it for now, but I'll be back soon with more caricatures, doodles, practices, and character studies/sb drawings for my upcoming comic. Stay tuned....

Flash Animation

Click Crocky Walk to see the basic walk cycle I did in my flash animation class.

Crocky Walk

Below are some character sketches/art and also the backgrounds I made for this short. I'm still new to flash and animation and I plan to continue it in the future. This short is inspired by the early Hanna Barbara art, but I feel I need to copy some of the art in that period so I can understand the style more. I plan to make do that this week and post it on my blog soon. 

Well here ends another blog. I am going to try to do a new post by next week to make up for the lack of posts this year.  

Byeeeeeeee......

Some stuff I did this summer

This summer I have been in two classes, flash animation and a Photoshop class, at FIT. Here is some work from my Photoshop class which ended about 2 weeks ago...

The shape image below is a project I thought was interesting. The class had to make a bunch of geometric shapes with the marquee tools and combine or cut them with other shapes to form one solid shape.  It was required to make 10 and this is my fav one. Anyways, I like the idea of shapes and may use the them of creating, seeing, and using shapes as the overall concept my final teaching year.

This was a fun project it was to create a room...

This room is the most complete because it has the shadows incorporated in it. I think it's clustered, but I like the colors.

Next week I am going to have this walk cycle from my animation class. Here's a sneak peek of the character.

Bye for now (: ......
