Hooray for Posts

So it's been a while and I thought I'd drop by with some progress. The first couple of weeks of AM are over, and this week we get to start our first animation. A simple ball bounce with the weight of a basketball or soccerball.

What we did last week was do some live sketches in a public place, just simple gestures. Mine are crappy stick figures. But we picked out best, and posed it out in Maya with our "Stu" rig. Here is what I came up with.


Since then, I've done a few more live sketches, with more....stationary people. At a restaurant, and at a wedding.

The first ones I did at a buffet, and found there were a lot of round shapes, if you know what I mean. Pocket sized sketchbook.




Then earlier today I was at a wedding and brought my sketchbook with me. Got a couple good ones.

I like how the jeans look, and I felt like I really got a sense of the colors overall. There were still some things I wasn't happy with, but oh well. This next one was also done with my finger, but now in Sketchbook Pro. It's nicer because there are new tools and menus which help with workflow, as well as a bunch of new brushes and settings, so I got to experiment with some of those. I was developing my taste in brushes on this one. I also tried doing some less realistic skin tones but still trying to maintain the integrity of the shading. I've never tried it before, but I've listened to my life drawing teacher t...
