The Adventures Through Animation Land: Week 20

Hay so another week has gone by and I am pretty happy with this weeks progress. I have got a lot of studies in this week done and also have finished a few illustrations all for an exciting reason.

So here is the break down for this week.

Study 1 - Photo studies
So this week I have worked through to starting the 3rd of the sketches. It's impressive because I haven't even managed to do that for some number of weeks now. It also means that I am in fact picking up pace now with the drawing so have a look at this weeks work.

Study 2 - colour/Light

Another hour in and she has hair!! Well some hair. I wish I could spend some more hours on this per week but unfortunately I just don't have time to spare on this. I can't wait to see it finished it will be one exciting moment.

Study 3 - Life drawing

This week has being an exciting week for me when it comes to life drawing. A very talented friend of mine suggested to me to try a different technique when it comes to some of my drawing. To get more of a sense of motion with my work. So I looked for a tutorial for gestural drawing and I watched these two videos about it.

Now my drawing feels more invigorated then ever. I don't know how I lived without it. I love the moment when you discover something. Here are the results. Again sorry about having to use pictures instead of scanning I promise you I will have a new scanner set up soon straight after Christmas.

My general technique

Gestural

The point of drawing gestural is to get more a feel of the motion and less about the details. Then as you develop within the technique you get more and more efficient at doing the detail. making a more emotive drawing.

Study 4 - Animal Study

So I have started on a new animal. Oh how exciting. I love animals so much. I think I have a little bit too much love for them. As before I am starting of with a digital painting. This one it going to be a little bit more difficult then before since I am dealing with more than one kind of texture. Have a look an guess what it might be. I don't think it will take a lot for you to guess who this big guy is going to be.

Study 5 - Animation

Not a lot of progression to show on this one but will keep the people updated when I make some firm progress.

Study 6 - Anatomy

More and more feet I draw.

Study 7 - Facial expressions

Okay So I did a couple more sheets of this lady. I swear I am going to be finished with her facial expressions next week. Then I will happily move on to a bunch more people. So here is this weeks lot.

Study 8 - Humans in Action

Okay I also have done a bunch more of the humans in action. It might take me a while to get to 50 but I can't wait to see when I have gotten there the progress I have made.

Okay next thing to talk about I finally managed when I was doing some concept art to finish another illustration so here it is. Its called white Christmas.
