BSA Research 6/9

Image
 BSA Research Hi! I have been working on my animation. I decided on using some characters I made for a personal project. I am hoping to next work on begining the rough inbetweens. I have also done some minor experiments in between practicing strong body language and expression in poses to help me work on my keyframing.  GOOGLE scholar gestural drawing, add estabilishing shot of house to use up time, add ending with foreshadowing that something else was actually there, work on walk cycles first.  14/9 Had issues with backing up and lost some work twice. Have caught up but wasted a lot of time.  27/9 finished roughs, starting cleanup. Will get feedback today.  Shot 1- Clean up- fix arm extending on Red. Head forward more on Purple, to create more momentum. Look at more walk cycle examples. Purple has a strange kick that needs to be fixed.  shot 4- doesn't really need smear on Yellows arm.  Shot 6- Make walk cycle better.  Could cut down work by not ...

BSA Drawing Class 17

 BSA Drawing Hi! I have just been working at my lineart. I got to page 10? in the style I started with, but decided to change the style to be more stylised, inspired by styles such as The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and Chew. I am a lot happier with this style and hope to re-draw in this style. This style will have less focus on colour and shading so I will focus on the lineart and if it comes to it, will leave it in black and white, and add a paper like texture instead, inspired by the style of Sleeptlk.  First 3 pages in original style: First 3 pages in new style: Surrealism 23/8 6/9 11/10 change first page to grab readers faster.  25/10 Re made first page and touched up.  Change last page to sunset rather than sky. Add shadows and cross hatching.
