Sketch dump - 06.19.11

Bought a new sketchbook yesterday. I decided I wanted to draw on tinted/non-white paper, but also wanted it in a sketchbook format. It's a lot harder to find than I thought. Four art stores later I got an ecru colored sketchbook. I would have liked something a little bit darker so that white shows up better, but it still works better than pure white paper. I could have gotten a paper shopping bag colored sketchbook as well, but for some reason I went with the ecru. Now though I'm thinking I should have bought the other.

Anyways, here is part of the first page on the sketchbook breaking it in. Yes, I'm aware that the 2nd drawing of the woman's torso is messed up....for some reason I completely failed at even keeping things in the same proportion next to each other haha. But oh well, I was just trying out a few different methods to get the best results.

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.

Review: How To Train Your Dragon

Awesome. Just awesome. Dreamworks has definitely taken a big step forward with How To Train Your Dragon. Everything on it was way beyond anything I've ever seen come out of Dreamworks. All the technical stuff seems a lot further along, in terms of hair, skin, textures, and effects. The animation was amazing. Toothless (the dragon) was especially really beautifully done. I find it hard to discuss that without going too nerdy on you so I'll just leave it at that. But most importantly, the humor works, and it had a great story. The characters were very well executed and you really felt for everyone. I couldn't have hoped for a better movie. Watch out Pixar.
