A small sketch dump

A girl playing the Wii. I wish I had one.
The model called it "The Sleeping Guard,".
These are sketches in preparation for a team animation project due in a couple of weeks. I am really excited! I hope this animation turns out fantastic and I get a job because of it. COME ON, CAUSALITY!!! These first Homer ones are when I was warming up.
These are when I realized Homer is harder to draw than he seems to be.
And lovable Lisa Simpson. At first, she was really tough(top left), but once I learned the inner shapes and proportions, she became really fun to draw(bottom left AND right!!!)!

I swear I'm still alive!

Today I had some extra time at school and decided to draw up some "digitized" comics with photoshop and my trusty 4x5 tablet. This is what I came up with. It's a random story that popped into my head as I drew, so I most likely won't come back to it (unless it takes me somewhere I don't expect (which it might) (maybe)).Page 2 is very confusing. I can't tell what's going on if I try looking at the pictures, so it's going to change if I decide to keep working on this story. But I like the last panel. :3

Amazing Artist Alert!!

I just ran across this blog linked over at Cartoon Brew. Amazing artist with wonderful, intriguing works. James Jean produces a definite must-see style of art, rich in line with beautiful figure renderings, so if you are on the web, swing by his neighborhood.

You know you're tired when...

your cat starts giving you animation advice.

What's all this, then???

I hadn't drawn one of these in a while. Quick comic of the day.

Aunt Tisip: Asian

Anticipation, also. This is what I came up with. This, I confess, was harder than it looks. Body mechanics and motion, combined with perpective and timing, are very taxing both on my mind and on my hand. Not to mention the pencils. ANYHOO... it was really fun to make. Credit to Vera Brosgol on the character, and YES, I did it because it's cool...



Also, I just remembered I need a background... it'll be fun background drawing practice!!! -_-,

Sketchamaroo! (Also, zombies do it for the lulz)

Did I make up that word? If I did, that should totally be a club I'll start... So it's kinda late. I learned all sorts of awesome gesture methods today from Sheldon Borenstein over on his YouTube channel. I've taken the process he teaches and am running with it. These are a couple of pages of sketching that I did tonight. There is an interesting story about a drunk and a zombie that came of out of an "on demand" gesture session. It was a very fun exercise. I hope you find it as humorous as I did while drawing it. It starts on the top right of the second page and ends on the fourth.

A transformation.

Just stepping it up a notch. Gotta get hundreds of times better than this.



It doesn't really mean anything. Do you see something?
