Smoke - Toon Boom Animation

Smoke - Toon Boom Animation

For this assignment we looked at out use of cycles and animated elements, looking specifically at smoke,paying close attention to the curved movement and how air currents effect this. I was pleased with the outcome, although I think a more exaggerated arc would have made for a better animation.

"Each day think of a new song or piece of music that you like. Draw anything that the song inspires you to draw." For this brief I decided I wanted to try something a little surreal, exploring a mixture of forms and colours, I was very pleased with the results.

Charcoal and Chalk on news print.

For our third set of Life drawings we had to focus on our use of perspective , using measurement to clearly plan out, the shapes and sizes of the different forms.Although I had the stylization down, this was a process I greatly struggled with, with most drawings being slightly inaccurate, something I hope to work on in future sessions.

'The Deep' Storyboarding practice

'The Deep' Storyboarding practice.

For this assignment we where given a script and set design, and asked to go away and construct a workable storyboard from these resources. Close attention was needed when drawing backgrounds and character placement within the frame. I think completed the task well, using as many frames as possible to make character actions, as clear as possible. Although I think even more frames could have been used to add even more detail.

"Find a piece of fruit. Draw it, taking care to look at the form. Now draw a character(s) based on the form of the piece of fruit."  For this brief I wanted to explore a range of shapes and sizes when it came to my observational drawings, paying close attention to my use of shadow to achieve this. I choose to work loosely when It came to character designs, simply looking at simple forms and emotions. I think it worked well, allowing me to bring life to my quick character sketches.
