Business Cards!

I finally designed my logo and business cards!
The template I'm using is from verticalthinking.ca, they rock!
I just got the designs back from their designer, Aaron. I tweaked them a bit but they look pretty sweet!

Character Drawings in Poses & Movement Sequences

We did some poses and sequences with our characters from animation class.
Here are the most interesting of my drawings:

Muscle Studies

How do you get animators to exercise? Bring Life Drawing class to the gym!
Well actually, I missed that class - but luckily my boyfriend is a personal trainer!
I got to watch him workout and get him to tell me the muscles effected by each exercise.
Mmmmm, muscles!

Stretches

Here are a couple of post workout stretches my boyfriend showed me:

Backgrounds Drawn from Life

One of our life drawing assignments was to spend 1 hour on different buildings in the Old Truro area. I chose to draw two churches in the area. Thank goodness for rulers!

Later, we had 3 hours to draw three different scenes at Victoria Park. One looking up, one looking down, and one level.

Charcoal Renders

So, in one of our recent life drawing classes, we dedicated 3 whole hours to two detailed renders of fabric. It was really fun and a huge learning experience! I think it's pretty obvious that my rendering was MUCH better in the second drawing. This was done on newsprint with charcoal. I usually spent the first 30 minutes for each drawing lightly measuring everything out with pencil before going in and doing the dirty work. Oh yeah, you gotta love those knead-able erasers.

Works in Progress

I was just looking through my art and found a few unfinished pieces with potential! I can't believe I just tossed them aside. Look forward to seeing these done after I finish college. C:
