your mind will be blown.

when in art history 101...

this one is from time light and sound lecture.
sometimes i fall asleep. that squiggly line above shows that i can manage to keep my pen on the paper, though.


you know, i recently got an anatomy book from the library and i've been looking through some "art of" movie books....and sketching....
it's helping me a lot.

POV

this was my intro video project from a couple weeks ago. point of view of anything..i think mine is pretty obvious haha.

sound-driven animation project

i made the sound first in garageband, and then...used cutouts to animate to it.

work in progress

i started this on my laptop a week ago, but it's taken me THIS LONG to feel better about it. i have a really hard time drawing people, and lately i've been trying to get over being afraid of it hahahaha. i put my art history lecture time to good use.
this guy looks sort of awkward...but i'm not sure how i could fix it. all criticisms welcome.

i'm also worried about how i'm going to color it. so many possibilities...but i guess anything's better than nothing. i wish i could do this:

isn't it beautiful?? looks so natural...the animation in the trailer is ridiculously good, too.
the movie comes out on thanksgiving, by the way. i had serious doubts about it, but it looks like disney animation gave a big push out of desperation. kudos. and the upcoming pooh movie looks beautiful. although i'm afraid for the future................the guy who was in charge of disney channel aka turning it into a money machine via hannah montana and the jonas brothers stuff is now the director or something of disney animation.

Creature Comforts, by Nick Park

this is HILARIOUSSS!!! the original is not posted here, but the guy made the original in 1989. creature comforts became a series for some commercial purposes, blahblah, but they're so funny.

Being a Bird

project, complete

it's very basic, but it's my first "real" work haha. the sound is working now! :D

it ain't much

so this painting is a fail, but i'm trying to get myself to be comfortable with photoshop, and well...this is a start.
