Tracing Pad Challenge
Managed to make time to go to figure drawing today. I heard about this exercise this exercise where you do 30 second gestures in tracing pad, from the back up. See if you can get the main gestures and make them move. APPARENTLY EVERYBODY knows about this exercise already, and I’m just late to the party. It was fun, but I am RUUUUSTY with gestures. I’m going to try and hit figure drawing up more often. Maybe. I get very sleepy on Fridays.
2.10.13 Animation Practice
Directed studies with Tom Sito- he has me following the key’s of some animation madmen. This first gif is just 13 drawings. JUST 13 DRAWINGS! It’s better than anything I’ve done in the past two years:
So then I went on my own, trying to push my keys and work on some secondary animation:
Today I did a 4 second scene of Daffy Duck. I don’t think I ever tried any cartoon-y animation when I started. I just pushed through to try and get some realistic stuff. So going over these mastermind’s work is really beneficial- I think it’ll help inform and loosen up all my stuff. I’m learning a lot about how well designed these characters are. Drawing them over and over again feels really organic.
Anyway- too many words- I’ve had cuban coffee.
