Painting Final - Layout

Here is the final for our painting class this semester, a layout painting.
The layout used here is actually based off of a place I used to visit a lot when I was a kid with my grandparents. I've been meaning to paint this place for some time now and decided to use this assignment as a trail...
Needless to say I learned that it is very hard to paint a straight line free handed hahaa!

Enjoy!

3D Animation Highlites! ~ Human and Dog Walk Cycles

I was super excited to see that both my human and dog walk cycles were featured as highlites in our 3D animation class!
Sadly I was unable to grab a picture of my human walk cycle on the big screen, but I did manage to get a few of the dog!

These 3D animations should be up for you guys in about 2 weeks!
Keep your eyes peeled and stay 'tooned!




"I Don't Want It!" ~ Original Storyboard

My original story for the theme "I Don't Want It!".
This story is based off of one of my own personal experiences going to the dentist, however, I added some pretty "out-of-whack" stuff to this in order to create a whole new story!
(I accidentally almost back-handed my dentist out of reflex in the face when she poked a cavity of mine with that sharp tool... whoops!)

Regardless, I love this new little adventure and I received a lot of amazing feedback from Nancy Beiman while sketching it up. I have made some digital corrections that will not be found in the scans here, but will be found in the Leica reel that should be up next week!

Enjoy!











Storyboard Paintings

Taking 4 of the storyboards from our original story, we had to paint the scene to show the colour and colouring style our boards would be in if animated.
Each of the chosen boards had to show a different location or a different mood in the setting. I had a lot of fun with these and really enjoyed using a more semi-flat pastel colour palette!

Enjoy!





Layout Layout Layout

Haha, same deal as previously...
We were to take the thumbnails of our professor, draw them to a larger scale and then add tonals with markers to create depth.

I had some trouble trying to read what was what on the thumbnails so I hope things didn't turn out too bad... Always room for improvement!

Enjoy!
