some figure stuff

heres a few drawings from figure drawing class, enjoy!

Starting this animation thing

Ok so heres a little animation test I did about a month ago during the summer. I just used pencil and paper then scanned the drawings in. Its nothing much but its a start.

I've begun my studies at Ringling

haha well I'm here! I'm finally a college kid. Ringling has been nothing short of awesome so far. Yes, drawing cubes in perspective and drawing naked people is awesome to me. I've been enjoying all my core classes but I'm anxious to get to the animation next semester. Not much drawings to show other then these quick gestures for a 3D Design class wire sculpture, but as soon as I get a USB cable for my camera I'll put up some photos of the school and some more drawings.
Oh and to all my fellow Ringling students reading this, check this out

The Chades Challenge

Ok, so Cal Arts alum and Pixar animator Austin Madison has started doing character design challenges (CHAracter DESign) with a bunch of his friends from Cal Arts through their blogs. Once every two weeks a topic is posted and each participant posts their sketch(es) on their blog the next Friday. So anyway Austin is allowing me to participate and I look forward to improving my character design skills. This weeks topic is FLAMBOYANT ARMADILLO...yeah pretty random, haha. Also this post here, will be updated with the current weeks topic as well as the current participants.

Ratatouille!

Wow, this movie just blew me away. The humor, animation, story, characters and everything else you can think of about this movie was pretty much perfect. Definitely one of the best Pixar movies, its hard to give a ranking with the Pixar movies because I basically just love them all, haha. Man! I gotta go see it again. Oh and just one example of how passionate Pixar is about their movies..the end credits started being developed a year and a half ago. Also heres a nice article about the movie http://www.thereporter.com/billboard/ci_6260970
