Character Turnaround

Updates

Sketches from our trip to Islands of Adventure back in January. 

More character concepts for 3D!

Doodles & some notes from figure. 

Animal drawing!

We killed some time in Drawing 2 before break by working on monsters under the bed! 

Flour sack final

Here's my final flour sack animation! There are a lot of things i'd like to fix, but there's only so many hours in a day... regardless, this project has definitely prepped me for our final unit (designing and animating an animal!)

Woah, we're halfway there...

Where on EARTH is the semester going? February has flown and i'm looking forward to heading home for the week! (Although i'm not expecting to get much rest... I have a few auditions to attend & lots of personal artwork that needs to get done!)

First of all, #ThrowbackThursday... my invented car from last semester! I had always intended to redo the background but i've had to let this one go. 

We've made considerable progress in Figure... an anatomical reductive series focusing on the essence of the pose. 

And our most recent unit focusing on facial expressions! We start animals tomorrow (complete with trips to local zoos) and i'm very excited about it!

This project has been the bane of my existence for nearly a month now, but it's finally done! We had to sculpt a proportional figure with all the muscles in the body. I am definitely NOT a master sculptor, but i'm still pretty happy with my effort. 

Now i'm working on concepts for our final project, an original character in an environment. I'm definitely excited for this one!

Continuing on with the mermaid theme... I just love Attina!

I challenged myself this month to participate every day in Sketch Dailies... over 10,000 artists receive a prompt every morning and draw what comes to mind! Above are a few of my favorite drawings from this month. 

Catching Up

I cannot believe it's already been three weeks since i've been back at Ringling! Here's some quick updates from all of my classes.

Basic studies from Drawing 2... we've learned a ton about color already. I'm looking forward to starting narrative & imaginative work next week!

Action sequences from my absolute favorite class this semester, figure drawing! My class is all CA majors so we're looking at figure drawing from an animation perspective, which makes it SO MUCH FUN.

3D Design has been an interesting challenge so far. Our first project was a series of sequential wire sculptures. We've (thankfully) moved on to sculpting with clay now!

Some old stuff from over break... here's Michelle Chamuel and DJ Scout from Ann Arbor's wonderful NYE party!

And, finally, i'm now on RedBubble! I'll be selling a wide variety of designs on stickers, shirts, phone and iPad cases! You can check it out by CLICKING HERE!

IT'S ALIVE

Only two days into the semester and i've already completed my first rough animation... I can't believe how much I missed animating! 

Here's my first ball bounce! Can't wait to do a million more!

End of the first semester!

Here are all of my final pieces...

Cafe sketching for Figure

I started an art page on Facebook! You can find it here. Every like and share means a lot!
