Musee d'Orsay Drawings and Digital Drawings

Hey Everyone, this summer I went to France to visit my sister and also to take a summer course at Gobelins for Animation. I really enjoyed it a lot and learned many principles in animation. I will post the animation that I did there on this blog soon.

During my program at Gobelins, I went to Musee d'Orsay and copied so masters art to help my figure drawing. Here are the drawings I did when I was there...

These quick poses were done from Degas sculptures in d'Orsay. They are very gestural and fun to look at.

These next drawings are digital, I did it on this website called http://artists.pixelovely.com

I wanted to draw figures in photoshop and in September I plan to do them from a live source next time I figure draw at society of illustrators.

These two are 30 sec and two 1 minute poses

This is a 5 min pose

5 min pose

30 min pose

5 min pose

The next three are more 30 sec/1min poses

Next two are 5 min pose

30 min

I am also going to draw more animals, this all helps when I animate.

I have some more figure drawings from Society of Illustrators I am going to upload soon.

Any advice on these drawings would be very appreciative. I am new to drawing figures in digital so any friends or fellow artists feel free to suggest some photoshop brushes or advice on how to improve these drawings.

Thanks for stopping bye!

Animation Portfolio

My name is Robert Schachter and here is my animation portfolio for a position as an animator, storyboard artist or character designer.

After graduating from Maryland Institute College of Art, I was accepted to the Summer Program at Les Gobelins for character development.

I am skilled in Maya, ToonBoom and Adobe Photoshop. I am a graduate at MICA, Maryland Institute College of Art, and I have a Masters in Art Education and Bachelors in Fine Art. With my background in both animation and education, I am able to create meaningful animations that intrigue both children and adults.

Walk cycle of a cartoon character I created in Flash CS3. The design I used to create the character and background were inspired by the talented artists of Hanna Barbara from the early 1960's like Ed Benedict and Art Lozzi.
