Life drawings

 I can't stress enough the importance of life drawing... It makes you understand shapes, anatomy, gestures, it is good for your drawing skills, it's a place to experiment freely, and also it's a lot of fun!

Living my dream!

I have just started my job as an art director on a 3D CG feature. I may not be able to post on my blog as frequently as I used to do, because I can't share anything about the project.  I have been trying to break into the business of animation for some time now, so I am thrilled to be able to do what I love best. Not only do I get to do the work I love, but also I have the privilege to work with the legendary Harald Siepermann.Check out his work here: LINK and here on facebook : LINK

It's freezing cold outside, so the mind wanders off to warm places...

Turnaround

 

After  seeing some Rapunzel tunaround sketches by Glen Keane, I was inspired to do a turaround exercise of a pose. It is really a good exercise to check if you understand volumes and shapes. The hardest part is to make sure the pose has the same intention and is just as strong from all angles. Finally I placed them in an animation, to check again how the volumes are balanced. I can see I am a bit off model here and there, so I guess I need to do this more often. It's a really good exercise that I can reccommend to anyone!
