Scribbles and practice.

Personal practice


One of my main weakness is drawing without the line art. For this experiment I use just the brush tool with different brush head and textures. The cloud could have been a bit softer. I am quite happy with how the tree turn out and the leave colours, though I also need to find a light source since the shines all all over the place. The water was done last and I didnt put it as much time and thought. It looks a bit too solid in a way.


Some character designs practice. I've been playing around with brush tools,colour saturation and contrast.So far the effects are not quite to what i have in mind yet. 

I was going for a shiny feel. The line art was plain and simple and I focus more on the colouring. The main tool I use here are the pen tool and air brush. Overlying colour works wonder in enhancing the colours without having to re-do it. 

Sea project - Group 5

Project animation with the given sound clip. I as member of group , we got the sound clip about a surfer that tells a story about one of his surfing trips. The sound clips are about 30-060 seconds each. One the first week we had a few meetings, during those small session Katie, Charlotte ,George  and I decided that all of us are to go back and listen to the sound clip and come back with our own storyboard ideas. The next Monday we all showed each other our story board and from them we select the scene we think would work and form up a final draft for the animation storyboard.

I was assign the role of the story board artist. After another discussion , we wanted to have 2 animation style . One was style inspire by the animation movie Waltz with Bashir.

This would be the style for the beginning of the animation. We will be having the main surfer of the sound clip  be drawn in this style.
This is an experimental background and scene done by one of our member, Georgi. The last one was based on a real photo and was manipulate in a software just to give off a basic ideal of how similar we can get it to look like the inspired animation style. 

Here is the overall image of how it would look like if we combine the 2D animation of the character and the 3D background. ( Done by Georgi ).


This is a basic character sheet for the second part of the animation for the main story line. When the guys tells us about hid trip. From the beginning of the animation with the Waltz of Bashire style
