wow what a yucky layout, I've never been good at the presentation side of things, but I'm even worse when I'm putting in the minimum amount of effort, sorry 'bout that

---

I'm currently a bit sick (nothing serious, mostly just annoying) so I haven't been able to do the 2 commissions per weekend-type thing this time around. Trying to recover as quickly as possible. Which is why I thought it would be a good opportunity to show what I've been doing during animation classes (exercises and personal sketching)

Character Design:

The first two sessions was pretty free in what we were allowed to do, the prompts were as simple as they are written, and the main point was to redo the same thing but with the critiques in mind (not every sketch was critiqued, but we simply were asked to go further and further and not shy away from clichés or exaggeration amongst other things)
I'm still a bit wonky with designs geared towards animation, what with my love for semi-realism. But I think with my villain-character I'm taking steps in the right direction.
Oh and for prompts 1.-3. we were given each time 15 minutes to do each sketch

Observation sketches: I don't think it needs much explaining, I haven't included every page of sketches, because it might be a bit too repetitive

Clean-up/inbetweening/motion stuff //

we have one and the same teacher for those three courses, and we've mostly been doing introductory kinda stuff for now with these first couple exercises. It was quite interestingly challenging to draw a style of character design as accurately as possible.

We of course have digital art classes as well (one for drawing, one for the technical aspect of animation (how to organize stuff-film making aspect) and of course 3D-modeling as well) But we haven't got anything proper to show yet, since those generally needed quite a lot of introductory info. The main focus there is for now probably to really learn the ins&outs of the program and hotkeys

Concerning the sketchdump, the only thing I wanted to mention is that the bottom right corner features sketches made off of Muybridge photographies (reference we were given to draw that Popeye's character in some of those poses) If you've even done just one google search on animal run cycles, you've probably come across his horse series www.arte.it/foto/600x450/81/26… Did you know he has books on both "animals in motion" and "human figure in motion" with tons of gold animation reference material??? I certainly didn't, but it's definitely on my "books to absolutly buy"-list

Just wanna mention that I'm simplifying a lot of info here, and these are just the starting-out classes as well, which all will upgrade bit by bit with every semester >:0c
