It's hard to believe my first year at Ringling is already over!
My favorite class this semester was Figure Drawing for Computer Animation. Katy Betz is an amazing professor, you can check out her artwork here!
Our animal unit included field trips to the Sarasota Jungle Gardens and Big Cat Habitat! It was great getting to sketch from observation, especially with big animals like lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!).
Our last assignment was to take an animal we had observed on location and turn it into a character. The flamingo I followed around at the Jungle Gardens was very easily frazzled!
Just for fun, here's a development page from that drawing.
Two more simple illustrations- this time focused on drapery and line economy.
Sketches from life. The models had some really fun costumes!
Another sketch from life painted digitally.
Drawing 2... we had to design a room for a known character. Guess who?

Studying 3 point perspective
3D Design was definitely my toughest class, but one i'll never forget! Our final project was a character sculpt (above) and matching environment (below).
Onwards to personal work!
Sketches of some of the CA seniors. We'll miss you!
For whatever reason, Into the Woods is always the soundtrack to finals week... i'd love to do a full set of these someday!
