Back to Basics: Animation 101

This week I am starting off with the ...you guessed it. BOUNCING BALL! I guess this took me 20 minutes, the timing isn't great but it's my first (freehand) animation in Flash. More to come the rest of the week.

Early morning sketching

Got up early today so I did some drawing in Photoshop: I really like this drawing: The anatomy is all messed up, but I like some of the linework and specific parts:

This was quick for fun! :)

The drawing below, is a drawover I did from one of the women who goes life drawing with me. She was so into her drawings and had these amazing poses! :)

Game Background : Work In Progress

Background I'm working on between other stuff for a game project. Here's what I have so far:

This is how it started: 1) I created the lineart:

2) Then painted in the darker background tones:

3) Give the overal lighting scheme (as explored in my thumbnails which I posted before):

My sketch using my new line, really liking the results so far:

These were color thumbnails I did before the sketch:

EDIT: Colored it quickly:

More color thumbnails

Sketching away

Started with some posemaniacs sketches:

I then took one of the poses (with arrow pointing to it) and recreated drawings based on that idea on the following pages:

And stories develop :)
