work sketches n such

Here's some sketches of recent, mostly done while I'm on break at work. Love/hate relationship with them (as I'm sure most people have with their work), parts I like and parts I know could be better. Excuse the random quotes on there (ie boom kaka boom), was listening to A Tribe Called Quest while sketching.

 

And the next one is a quick self portrait and some more sketches on newsprint. Love working on newsprint because I think subconsciously I know I don't have to make it look that great since the paper isn't of the best quality (no slight to newsprint of course). Also my nose is a bit flat in that sp and it doesn't really look like me.

 

Enjoying doodling in Painter again, haven't done it for a while. So one more, kinda sorta related to the day (just added a heart really).

Kinda cheated with that hand (just roughed out the shape then scaled it down), but fun practice anyway.

have a good one

Likely some perspective/clarity issues, but pretty happy with it overall.

Haven't really been at my computer a whole lot lately, wanted to post these up a few days ago but wasn't ever really able to. Better late than never eh?

Sorry for the image size on this first one, didn't realize until just now how large it really is.

gestures, bg sketch

Some gestures done using the timed pose viewer on http://www.posemaniacs.com/blog/ (except for a few on the flash page) ; did a page in my sketchbook, in photoshop, and in flash. I'm only showing the PS and flash ones because I figure they are more or less the same sorta thing... and this way I don't have to make the effort to scan the page in :P Also a random background in flash, with and without blue line... probably animate something simple over it if i can. Lots of inspiration/studying of Jake Parker's work, specifically his Inktober works. Sorry if the image sizes are too big as well.

Here we go, 2010

I've been making a point to do more anatomy studies n such this year (lots of Hogarth lately) but I figure those aren't the greatest posting material. So here's a bunch of sketches I've done lately, usually between pages of abdomens/pelvises or when I'm on break at work. I need to get more finished work done... maybe some work with a bit more personal meaning to it too? We'll certainly see!

Sorry for the fuzzy edges as well, this sketchbook is a bit bigger than the area of my scanner.

In before 2010

Well, I certainly posted alot in December! ... *clears throat* Better luck next year I guess; least that's only in 7 or so hours (here in Boston that is).

As it is still December 2009 though, I'd like to just post up a couple things to end off the year.

A run from the Animator's Survival Kit (faster on 1s but a bit clearer on 2s)

And a very Happy New Year from me to you.

Not the greatest image, I know, but wanted to do something for the season since I missed out on the other holidays (a belated Happy Holidays as well!). Yes, though, stay safe and have a very happy new years!! :)
