Steamboat Serena

I'm feeling a lot better, now. It's weird. It's like I've been in the protective bubble for the last few months.

And then the bubble starting closing in on me, and I panicked.

And then the bubble popped and everything was so painful.

But I couldn't stay in there forever.

...Ok, none of that had anything to do with this picture. MOVING ON!

DID YOU KNOW! Mickey Mouse will soon be public domain. I am both Excited and terrified at the consequences of this.

Guaranteed success

The animation class is going well. Admittedly it's become more of a time eater than I thought.

Luckily though my next assignment lines up pretty well with the last BBB project I was trying to work on.

So this should be a pretty good opportunity to finally get that done.

Here's some other quick sketches

Last 2 weeks

Here's some sketches from the last 2 weeks.

There's this contemplative look that I always confuse for sadness. It makes me worry about certain people over nothing.

I'm getting a little more comfortable with framing around the shoulders at this angle, but I need more practice with live models. I should people watch more.

So here's some sketches of people I saw while getting coffee in the morning.

So am I the only one who finds Thomas the Tank-Engine to be one of the scariest childrens shows ever made

It's a giant rubber pale human face on a lumbering industrial centipede like body

Just terrifying. What's wrong with you, Brittain?

Here are 2 people on a horse.

Hard Hat area

This was a little loop I've been sketching during lectures in my animation class.

I've had to draw with a mouse though. I also flew blind animating this and didn't give any attention to his body structure, so he ended up handing a worm like body.

I'm estatic with how the jaw ended up looking. You can almost see the skull as it moves around in the head and the mouth animation is almost hypnotic for me.

For a 2 second cartoon, I'm really satisfied with this one.

OH SHI-! A GARGOYLE!

Not sure there's much to say here. Ran out of room for the wings, but I drew what I could for it.

Love how the rib cage turned out, but the spine cheats out a bit too much when I should have relied more on foreshortening. In the end, just a lecture sketch. It does remind me how much I loved taking anthropology. I should see if they have any classes on that next semester.

I'm getting better at showing more definition in the face without making the person look too old. I used to avoid those details like the plague, but now I can't get enough of them.

Also getting better at drawing noses from different angles.
