Maybe I should pause this book, but I'm listening to Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions right now so I'm not thinking of what to write here.



I watched the first 4 episodes of Pokemon last night, I don't know if I'm going to watch more, but man that show is not how I remembered it, but Pokemon are such silly creatures.



Some more index cards, need to be inking more and making these.



UPDATE:
KC Green mentioned it was draw a dog tuesday today, so:



check out his HERE
You could also follow us both on twitter:

I also decided I wanted to make this in honor of Jess Fink's birthday.



She draws the awesome(though NSFW) Chester 5000 XYV
You should check out her blog: finkenstein on livejournal

I think that's all, I do like making these 4 frame animations though.

Pen Doodles and Another Animation

I guess I haven't been doing much drawing the last week, even though I had finals, I did have two days completely open and the mornings on the weekend, but I guess I just let myself mess around and play video games and watch Party Down instead of drawing, so here's what I managed to get out in the last week.

I'm really happy with how this comic about fake pokemon turned out





I'm trying to learn to draw with regular pens, but it's so awkward for me.
My main problem is everything seems so scratchy and so many superfluous traceback lines because they don't have the weight variation that pencils or ink brushing do.

And this Bowie, today I've been listening to nothing but David Bowie and Talking Heads, except in the morning when I left The Authorities playing accidentally for an hour and half while I was picking up schoolwork.
And here is the final animation I did for my basic animation class



I animated the red shirted mannequin, made the annotations and arranged the musical elements.

I'll probably get my school work photographed tomorrow so hopefully I'll post that up sometime then.

I will also hopefully be excited after finally seeing How to Train Your Dragon tonight and will get on coloring that comic I was supposed to three weeks ago and have that up soon too, but we'll see.

Later Folks!

My Animation and Digital Stuff

So first, I finally got a video file for my first hand drawn 2-d animation, looking at it I should have had a few more frames in the run and probably should have redone that turn around, but for my first try I'm happy with it.



And I've been doodling with my tablet in flash, so here's some of that stuff







I'll upload the paper doodles I have once I figure out where they are, and once I get my stuff back I'll upload everything from drawing I, and I still need to finish coloring up that comic, but now finals finals finals later folks

First Walk Cycle

No sketches, still hard at work on my animation.

, but

I do have a short sample of my first walk cycle ever, (outside of stick figure nonsense from high school in flash)



This is probably a bit slower than it will actually play, and I added 4 more frames. Hopefully when the entire thing is complete the professor will give us a compiled video file, but that won't be ready until at least mid April.

I'll post some doodles tomorrow.
