Coral Reef

I decided to say the hell with work today and just did my own thing. That thing being some studies on coral reef for something i'm working on at the moment. Oh and by the way, these studies were done with the aid of alias sketchbook pro. It's all I use now when it comes to sketching since it feels so natural... almost.. too natural. So if you've never used this program before, I highly suggest you try it out.

bustin nuts while learning about the birds and the bees.


aaaand bustin ghosts. by the way.. i'm aware that isn't how you hold the ghost bustin gun.

Doodle

Just a random drawing I did today when taking a break from working on school related assignments.

copic markers are GODLY!

So I sold my soul for 7 copic markers today and it was well worth the price. I've been having fun with them all night. ANywho here's a doodle i did of myself. I've also added a quick color study for my fortress layout. I spent a good bit of time today screwing around with the sky and getting it mold itself into the rest of the layout. Regardless of the struggle I had with it today though I really like the "mellow" sorta feel thats going on with it now.

Quickie Sketch

just a sketch done with my brush pen when I was taking a break from animating earlier today.

Char Design, and Oakville Place madness!

So I had a blast at Oakville Place today drawing people while listening to some Bonobo to start off my day. On top of that I have my recent char designs to post. My Russian guards action poses fell apart so I'm not posting those.

Cafe Sketches

Just a couple pages of sketches i did in the mall here in oakville..

Royal Winter Fair

just some of the drawrings i did at the good ole winter fair this week.

Sketch Book?

This is a page from my sketch book with some color added in photoshop.

And so it begins...

A new year of study in the field of animation is soon to begin!

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm pretty damn eager to get back into the swing of things, even though summer holidays have seemingly gone by pretty fast I still feel that it has been too long since I was last sitting in a classroom (or failing to go to class in most cases as many of you know)

Anywho, I've been hella slack on updating this blog of mine.. it doesn't mean that I haven't been drawing n' such because I've been doing plenty of dawring I just never bother scanning anything. None the less today I have an update.. it's nothing special.. just a quick doodle I did here at work on the ole tablet of a gorilla type character about to embark on a journey of his own.

Just some hand gestures

as the title says.. a few hand gestures.

Female Faces

Due to my lack of being able to draw female faces I decided to do some quick sketches of them today. so here they are

Sketchbook

Couple o sketches from a page in my book. I plan on doing something with that sketch of a fish that I made up yesterday.

Elephants

these are some quick gestures that I did of elephants sadly from photo refrence due to a lack of elephants to draw back home in Newfoundland. None the less this was still fun and I'm still able to practice looking for large shapes / negative space.

Sit Boy Sit!

GOOD BOY!.. errr hell hound? who knows. I was doodling in my sketchbook today at work and decided the flavor of the day would be a wolf and this is how one of my sketches came out in the end. for whatever reason i didn't bother to throw in a 4th leg but what can ya do? there shall be more drawings of this badass son of a bitch in the very near future.

Scribbles

it's funny what a few scribbles on your page can end up looking like.

Sketchbook Dump

SO I'm about due to add something new up here that doesn't involve extra life drawings. so here's a few things in my sketchbook. mainly ideas for assignments we're doing in school with the odd drawing of a female here n' there to keep things interesting.


I was going to do a rhino for our latest character design assignment. I was feeling the side view but when I was trying to figure out how he'd look from the front nothing was really working for me. so I moved onto a bear.


Oh and somehow while drawing front views of my rhino concept the face of a female found its way onto my page along with a female body.


And now for my bear concept. I wanted to go with a semi realistic character but in the end I kept it simple.




Just some drawings of the different muscles found on the back before I headed off to extra life one evening.


Some drawings / different ways to approach head rotations of a couple characters I was going to do for our latest animation assignment. In the end I scraped both Hellboy and the Mad Hatter umongst many many many other characters.





Just a simple concept for the island for my most recent storyboard assignment titles "Ship Wrecked" no this ingenious title didn't come from my noggin, but from the outline we have to follow for the assignment. (again a female has found her way into my sketchbook.. )




Some sketches of my bear doing his thing.. that being walking to a table.. sitting down.. grabbing a cup... and then drinking from it..
