Holy Crap

Man, adding a freaking spine and head into a character really starts to complicate things. I was doin fine on a ball with legs so I felt fairly confident doing a series of Parkour actions for my next shot. Not only is just doing a run challenging for the first time with a spine, but transitioning into and out of runs from rolls and slides is quite challenging. Even though there were no arms on this character, it probably would have helped a little to maintain balance and to create momentum for certain moves. I was left to create it with the legs or the bend in the spine.

Anyways, here's my rough blocking pass. I think it was pulled off rather well after a long late night of working on it.

To Add or Not to Add...

Well I couldn't think of a real good topic for a second post quite yet, so this is going to be pretty boring. I know no one has read my blog yet at this point, which is fine considering it's been up for like a day. I haven't really even told anyone about it. Stealthily put the link up on my various profiles. I'm sure someone will stubmble upon it at some point. Anyways, I was pondering whether or not I wanted to add another page. It would be somewhat of a portolio, but not formal or anything. Just some drawings or pictures that I might want to share. But at the same time, I've got my DeviantART page linked over on the side, so having a gallery on here would be kind of redundant. Eh, I might as well anyways. It never hurts to give myself a little more exposure. It's settled then! A new page will be added....at some point. I need to gather a few pictures that I think might be cool to put up here, and find a decent free host to put them up on. I guess for the time ...

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.

Drawn to Life

After about half a year or so of wanting to get this book (and the second volume as well) I finally got it ordered through Amazon as a birthday gift (thanks Mom!). Man, I totally should have gotten this book sooner. It is seriously filled with typed gold. Not only was I really engaged by the book, I learned A LOT about drawing, gestures, and how to see than I've learned in.....well just about ever. I mean, I've never had a formal training session other than a few weeks of life drawing so I can't compare it to anything...but the way it's changed my style and how I approach drawing in like 3 days is pretty amazing. (Note: this could also just be because I suck at drawing and I would have known this had I taken a formal class in school =P ) But anyways. I've scanned in a couple pages of PEN sketches that I just did. I've for some reason fallen in love with drawing dresses/cloth at the moment so there's a lot of that going on. Most of the them I'm satisfied ...
