Work gets exciting (not)

So I've hit the point at work where I've pretty much run out of anything meaningful to do, or anything that really involves me being at my computer that long. Basically I have to scan a whole bunch of papers and compile them into digital versions of themselves. It's not oging to be a fun process. At least I have my podcasts and my music to keep me entertained.

Meanwhile, I just planned out a shot on my first X-Sheet (exposure sheet). It's just a scene of a ball bouncing across the screen and off the side of the wall, but hey I'm just gettin started! No idea if I have the timing right of anything but I'll see how it turns out.

Actually I never wrote about it, but last Friday I got the two animation books I ordered from Amazon in the mail. The Animator's Survival Kit and The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation. I"ve only read the Survival Kit so far, well about 1/3 of it. The author is talking about walks and such, but I'm going to stick with my ball before I even touch that stuff. Illusion of Life lookspretty beefy. I think I'm going to end up reading both of these books before I'm even required to read them heh. It's ok, I need to read them again anyways.

Well, off to get some sleep for my week (or few) of scanning. At least I'm taking Friday off to go home. Yay 4 day weeks.

Walkcycle

Well before Lost, I completed my 2nd go at a basical walk cycle. It's missing some in-betweens but I just wanted to get those steps down first before I tried anything else. It's in the gallery. But here it is anyways. [caption id="attachment_56" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Walkcycle #2"] [/caption]  Based off the guide from the Animator's Survival Kit.

Sketchdump 09.12.11

Alright, about time for some more sketchbook posts. Besides life drawing I haven't really been keeping up with my sketching until pretty recently. We haven't had class in a couple weeks and I've been wanting to do some drawing. This first page is just a couple random drawings of sushi. I was kind of hungry for sushi at the time so I decided to draw it since I couldn't go get some to eat. My goal here was to both improve my line and to try and get a sense of texture and perspective with the rendering. Some is more successful than others. Not bad for my first sketches in a couple weeks. From here I was trying to start to draw some more faces and heads since I never really do that anymore. It was too much of a challenge for me during life drawing to get the heads and faces up to the same level of the body. So here I tried to only draw heads. And not even realistically...I was going for more caricaturish or cartoonish drawings here. Some are decent, some are horrible b...
