Making sense of random audio

Exercise in using an X-sheet to sync animation to audio. Drawn on paper and compiled/coloured in TVpaint.  

I only did a pencil test after all the drawings were done, so some parts of the animation could be better. Having to paint every frame was a killer...!  Stay tuned...more work coming soon. 

CaricaTURES

Sometimes you see someone's face and go 'Gee, he/she has such strong features!'..that's what I thought when I saw Timothy Omundson on Psych - plus he looks a little like Rowan Atkinson don't you think? While sketching them, I had to try really hard not to draw them realistically, in proportion, and instead kept reminding myself...'Exaggerate! Exaggerate! - What features of theirs jump out the most?' Short but fun and interesting experience. Will be doing more of these in between to get a better hang at it.

A break from the tablet

Tried out a Toner Gray copic marker here. I'm still not used to using them though...kinda messy. I'll just have to keep experimenting.

 

Also, I've been playing around with acrylic painting - learning the basics under the guidance of a Mr. Bob Davies   ;)  Love his videos!

Wow..this feels strange..I haven't drawn like this in quite a long time. What do I mean? I mean, me just flicking my pen over a drawing. I've been so hung up on details and getting things perfect, neat and 'inside the lines', if you know what I mean. I picked up drawing from reading comics so doing lineart was really fun. And you know what? Fight scenes were even more fun!  Ka-POW! haha  And I realise today, no, more like I am reminded that the drawing has more life when the lines are..imperfect. At least, I prefer it this way :)
