Recently, I decided to invest in some new brushes! These were made by animator, Aaron Blaise. Below I have tested these out on a blank canvas, including labels of the brush names. I intend to experiment further with these brush presets, perhaps I can use some of the textures for detailed background work? Or maybeContinue reading Testing out new Photoshop brushes & checking out Aaron Blaise lessons
During this week, I have mostly been working on smoothing our and tweaking my animatic further. I decided that rather than redoing the whole thing to build upon the final animation, that I would spare some time and use the resources which I already had, which were the frames for my animatic. So far thisContinue reading WEEK 10: REFLECTIVE BLOG & PEER REVIEW & ANIMATING ANIMALS
Here are some images that I have taken throughout this project. As you can see, I have photographs of me posing and this was to help me to understand how Hedge was going to move in my animatic. Some of the other photos, for example, the ones with me wearing the paws, were taken aContinue reading Photography
In this post, I have included my initial storyboard, a rough animation, and then references that have helped me along the way. Here is the storyboard that I sketched out. This was to give me an idea of what and who I wanted to include in my final animation. I feel that my storyboard isContinue reading WEEK 9: STORYBOARDS AND ANIMATIC
For this post, I have shown below some recent anatomy studies that I have made. The images that were referenced do not belong to me, however, they provided a good starting point for me to practice from. The first set of drawings here are more to do with the skeleton of the human body. IContinue reading Human anatomy basics and practice
Here is the outcome of my floursack animation. It is very simple and only took me about 4 hours to complete in total. It is a direct reference from the Lion King, specifically the scene of Mufasa’s death. I did this as I thought it would be comedic to see these characters portrayed as floursackContinue reading WEEK 8: FLOURSACK ANIMATION
With this article, it features modern artists who use bioluminescence as an art form. One of the artists include Hunter Cole, who uses bioluminescent bacteria to paint onto petri dishes. It is a very interesting concept because with the more time that passes, the bacteria slowly die thus the weaker the glow is. This isn’tContinue reading Artist Research
Previously last week, I did some ball animations and have been practicing since. However, whilst making these initially, there were a few things I was doing wrong. Below is an updated gif in which I have started using ‘Classic Tween’ in order to make it quicker and also easier to animate with. I also beganContinue reading Improvement in ball animation
Here is a quick digital painting that I did with Hedge. This was an experimentation to see how he would look with a slightly different style. Although I like this piece, it doesn’t really have as much impact as it does when he is simplified? However, regardless of that, I found this activity to beContinue reading Digital painting experimentation
Here, I decided to interpret some of the characters my classmates were working on. I decided to incorporate two different concept designs made for the one character (on the right). The initial designs were made by my classmates. I decided to combine both concepts in order to see if they could work. Personally, I reallyContinue reading Further character progression
