Y1 Animation: Waveforms

Otter on a hot date and jumping sausages and voodoo pages. Could use some sound.

Y1 Painting: Moodscapes

Was going to Photoshop before posting but... I suppose that would be cheating.

Y1 Layout: Silly Pans

I had so many pan ideas that I couldn't decide so they all ended in mediocrity.

Y1 Life Drawing: BONES

Exhausting bones project. Please ignore the text. It's both poorly written and erroneous... I'm truly ashamed!
The title page was influenced by the wonderful Florian Satzinger!

Y1 Character: Cassowary and Ko.

For my artist presentation I decided to emulate... THE MIGHTY PETER DE SÈVE.

 

Orange People and a Pug

Y1 Life Drawing: RWF

The Royal Winter Fair was glorious! We were there from 10-830, and this is what I squeezed out:
30sec-5min gestures:

10-20min studies:

Extras

I hate 'composition & rhetoric'.

Y1 Character: Posing

WWI 'Tommy'. This assignment was haaard... and clean-up is the worst. Hand-in version:

I colored them too:

Super rough sketches I tried to outline:

Pretty ugly early concept:

Ugly Chinchillas and Silly Otters: attempts to design a new character

Scarves are baby blankets for old people

Nautili

the naturally neurotic look

Y1 Layout: Character in Environment

Extra long-shot. Maybe too long...

Tiny thumbnails/Medium down-shot:

Y1 Layout: Character+Environment

Character design:

 Environment:

 

Too much acrylic medium

= tacky lumpiness.

Y1 Life Drawing: Feet are Strange

Yes I know they're stiff...

Cassowaries

Y1 Painting: Deviled Egg

Goooouaaache. We had to paint an egg/sphere and study light and shadow... it took an embarrassingly long time.

I didn't hand it in with the face.

Y1 Character: Rotation

DIGIMON STYLE!

For outsiders: an animated sequence of the individual angles helps to determine how accurate the drawings are. I actually really like the look of bad pencil testing. Hand-in assignment:

In-class posing + silhouette value practice: we were told to draw them 1. pulling a rabbit out of a hat and 2. punching itself.

Early concept sketches:

Yes I cheated, I actually did this bird over the summer:

Y1 Painting: Monochromatic

Dear Gouache,

When can we be friends?

Sincerely,

Melody

 

I was just tired at this point and decided to do whatever I wanted.
