Mati ghost

His name is Mati, but I have to work on making my characters more loose. I love how everyone else's characters are so spaghetti like. This guy is supposed to be a ghost; however, I had to show weight and mass on him, so I gues he's not dead yet. I hope you can get his personality on his poses :)

 

 



I personally think character design is not one of my best, so I want to try and improve it.

Any advice?

handy feet

At first I didnt like this assignment, but I found it almost fun towards the end. We had to draw our hands and feet realistically, and then we had to do "shorthand" drawings of them. Drawing feet was literally a pain, but it was more fun than drawing hands.

Here's my title page, it looks a lot better digitally(I hope I dont lose marks for the bad quality of the printed one, but I forgot that I had to use the print settings :O)

 

 

I tried to do some action in all of the drawings, it was like making hands for my portfolio all over again, but it didnt worry me too much this time :P

 

Here the shorthands which I hope are good cause we (my classmates and I) didn't know very well what to do about them. And yeah I'm a really bony person..

spherical

SO I got a sad B on my first painting assignment, which doesnt surprise me cause I've never been too good at painting, but like I said before, I've improved, and my teacher thought so too^^
and now here's my second assignment, a sphere, which turned out to be harder than expected. I have to say I really liked the results, except for a bump in the top of the sphere I didnt notice before. I actually like it, not perfect, but a lot better than my first spheres :)

Layout!

Well... <3 this is the first layout-ish thing I actually like! and it didnt take me too long to do, and it was rendered, and maybe I am too excited, but this makes me happy. Even though there's a possibility I will not like this anymore after a month or so, right now I'll just enjoy the moment.  I hope I can get a good mark on it too.

So I did the whole structure/perspective thing, and then the rendered version. The characters still need names, and suggestions are welcome :P

Seeing it digitally, I think I like the rough better than the final :/

so... painting

I probably didnt do too well on this assignment, and I pray to the lord I pass this class....
So I had to do paintings with gouache, and it was fun... but it was hard too. You know I've never been good at painting; however, I kinda like it...
Anyway, I think I AM improving, and I really hope I'm right

I started with gradient studies the first one is supposed to be "transparent" and we had to see some of the paper, the second one was completely opaque, and it was also easier.

 



Next came the color gradients, cool and warm colors with black and white. The black is the hardest one I wonder why..


After this the assignment consisted of making a composition and then painting it with flat achromatic tones, achromatic tones with gradient, and finally color gradient. And here is the part where I think I'm improving, I hope my teacher can agree with me on that, but I also have to say that the color one was the most fun to do ^_^

balls... and character

So I finally finished my first four animations! :D
I dont love these two, but I worked really hard on them, and I guess the "learn from your mistakes" thing does apply here. Now here are my balloon and my bowling ball, aaaaand dear lord I just saw something I have to fix on the balloon... if I have time....







Also, I finished my character rotation of Goldilocks (the pupet/bear on the blog's banner) it took me like a month less on work than the character I did for my portfolio. I have no idea how did this happen, but I even think it looks decent. The only things that bother me are the line quality and the feet on the front view. I hope my teacher likes it too :/

the beginning

Sooo school has started, and its a lot of work! I won't lie, I saw it coming, and I'm liking it so far, but I need to improoove! there are so many talented people (but they're really nice people too)
Anyway I tried practicing with my tablet to make a drawing for my country's independence day, and yes I'm not good in photoshop, but the practice'll make you better^^

And also... I did my very first animation!!! It was the bouncing ball. For many people its like ¨a bouncing ball, boring, whatever...¨ but for me is a big breakthrough! I also did a bowling ball, a ballon, and a pendulum, but I might do some changes to the first two so I'll just show you the bouncing ball and the pendulum.
