Animation #3

This time we had to animate a ball bouncing (self motivated or not self motivated) with a tail of some sort for a secondary overlapping action. Here's mine.

Figure drawing

This semester i got a really good teacher for figure drawing. He's very different from my last one and concentrates more on gesture drawing for animators. He gives us some fun assignments like this one.

Ball bounce #2

Tennis ball bounce in perspective with a background for my second assignment in traditional animation

Traditional animation class #1

Finally animation classes begin! my instructor is an ex-disney art director and the animation desks we use were the same desks that were used in the making of many disney movies from the 70s to the late 90s when the disney orlando studio closed. That makes everything way better.

I had my first class today and we learnt how to animate a ball bouncing using the principles of squash and stretch. I got a little ambitious and made it a basketball rather than just a flat ball with no details.

Watercolors

I recently bought this great new watercolor set so i tried it out a bit. Did some outdoor studies with it and I'm getting the hang of it. I've also been influenced by Chris Sanders(director, writer and character designer: lilo & stitch, how to train your dragon,  the croods) in the way he designs characters/creatures and uses color. I did a few things like that that didn't turn out too bad.

End of 1st semester

Forgot to post these up. These were my final projects for perspective and 2d design classes.

Perspective- "sky is falling": A city in 3 point perspective and an object of some sort obliquely falling from the sky.
2D design-"Unity":  Diptych of a greyscale abstract image and a colored representational image derived from the basic design of the first. the composition has to show everything we learned in the semester.

 And with that, the 1st semester at Ringling ends.It was amazing. My final GPA came out to be pretty good too.

Perspective project#3

This assignment was to create an invented interior space in 2 point perspective. The room must show human presence without actually having humans in the frame.

So I did Sherlock and Watson's living room.
