Moar!

Went ahead and roughly smoothed out Walky Guy. I need to practice doing stuff on twos instead of ones... I set myself up for trouble this time cause I wanted the key poses to be on 12, 6, 3, etc. But that means I had basically two tween pages per key, so I needed to figure out what 1/3rds and 2/3rds between each key is gonna look like. Good practice I guess.

This was all done with blue pencil and Flipbook will only shoot it in black and white for some reason. Maybe when I get my animation table set back up I'll go over it with a backlight and dark pencil.

Crits welcome. I realize there are problems with the facial features / sleeves / etc. swimming... I didn't use a backlight for any of this. That's my lame excuse. ;-)

Walky Guy Does Some Walking


This is the first one I've photographed since I got out of school. I've let some moss grow on my temples while working at Pipeworks by day and doing other random computer projects by night. Need to get back into practicing this stuff.

At second glance he looks a lot more tired in this animation than in the previous drawing. Maybe I'll do another more lively version. This was also done with just a pegboard strapped to a piece of plastic, since my art table is currently hosting the tablet monitor project. More on that later...

Went for a Walk

Here are some people I drew today. I went for a good long walk around the south side of Eugene trying to scope out good parks. The one just a few blocks away from me seems to be the best. Anyway, got more blisters on my feet than my fingertips today. We shall meet again, Monroe Public Park!

Ah hah!

Now I'm obligated! Or something...

Anyway, let's see how this works.

A drawing! I did this a while back. Just a test.


You've now reached the very end of the blog!
Or the beginning! *Hmmph!*
