2D Turning Hand Task

A very simplistic 6 Key Frame turning hand. I'm extremely pleased with how this has turned out. I completed this task using ToonBoom with a Wacom Tablet.

Acting the Goat is the Brief I've chosen to complete this week. This brief suggests drawing animals all week and then revise the drawings by stylising the animals. I am to think of them as Characters for a film and by the end of the week I should have all of my characters and create a piece involving them all on set. Let's have some fun with this!

Rough Sketch of a Cat

Stylised version

Full Name: Mr Cat

Rough Sketch of a Dog

Refined version - I liked this drawing too much as it was to continue drawing on top of it therefore I drew the head again separately and stylised the new drawing (Below)

Stylised version

Full Name: Dawg Bisquit

Sketch of a Shrimp

Stylised version of Shrimp

Stylised version - revised with Colour

Full Name: Mr Stavros Majouski

Stylised Bunny

Full Name: Snow Bell

Sketch of a Rabbit

Stylised version of Rabbit

Full Name: Mrs Blue Bell

Stylised Badger

Full Name: Boscow

Stylised stray Kitten

Full Name: Dusty

I re-drew all of the Characters and placed them on a piece of paper describing who they are.

3D Tree from basic shapes

In my most recent Drawing for animation class we were given a step by step stimulus to create a 3D looking tree by starting with basic shapes and gradually adding to the picture.

My first sketch is of basic cylinders which I eventually added branches and subtle fluency in the shape once the basic shape was there.

To start drawing my tree I adopted the same tactic but worked on one single tree as opposed to lots of tree trunks.

Badly Drawn Boy

The brief I chose to complete this week was called 'Badly drawn boy'. The brief suggests that each day you choose a piece of music and draw/paint/create whatever or however it makes you feel. I chose to do this particular brief now as this week I've felt very open to emotions whether they are good or bad and I believe theres only certain times where this sort of brief can be executed well, for me anyway.

My Main approach to this was to listen to the song a few times and I guess just loose myself in the music. For some songs it worked, and with others I found it really difficult to connect with them, therefore moved onto the next song. I tried to choose songs that at certain times in my life I played repeatedly, I did this because those sort of songs bring back entire memories and the type of feelings I was experiencing when I'd listen to that particular song.

Song: I Giorni - Ludovico Einaudi

Piece: Oil Painting of a Heart

Why: This particular piece of music comes with a lot of emotions from the heart. The song can make me feel happy and sad but always hits me in the same place.

Song: Indian Summer- Jai Wolf

Piece: Charcoal drawings of Dancing girls

Why: Indian Summer is funnily enough something I listened to a lot throughout the summer and not only was it the best summer I've ever had, but it was a huge change in my life and this particular song makes me feel very free, active and positive.
