Man-Lady

I did this handsome woman on the back of one of my sons drawings by accident. That explains the blue and red. Pencil on paper.

Racing Ahead

The new year has defiantly started out with a bang! I've started a part time Maya course at the school I teach at, Van Arts. At first I thought that modeling in 3d would be necessary chore too learn if I was going to make my own 3d stuff. But it is supper fun!

On top of that, I'm teaching my self Toon Booms Animate Pro! Which is going to be rad as well. So you won't be getting anything completely finished for a while.

I don't know what to call the process for how I came up with this guy. I start with shape in mind and start laying down light pencil and see where it take me. At one point early on it was some kind of Mec. Until I put exhaust pipes on, now it is a Racing Chicken!

Animate Pro!

Here is the first thing I've created using Animate Pro. He is the first pass of a design for a little bit of some animation I'd like too do. You get a screen shot because I could not get a decent picture from the learning edition.

I roughed him out on paper, and cleaned him and coloured him in the program. So far I really like Animate pro. After doing some of the tutorials and watching some more advanced examples online I'm pretty excited to learn more.

Just having the colours linked to the swatch was great. Saving gradients! Not having to deal with sync like in flash! And don't forget about Z-depth!

I should have lots of fun animating in it, once I figure out a few more things.

Flamingo with colour!

First finished piece of art for a project I am slowly working on.
More of a concept than anything else. Fun too do.

Goat type of Guy

Drawing with the kids and came up with this guy.

Old Man

We were walking home from picking up my eldest son, and had my youngest tucked away in his buggy. It was raining and had the cover pulled over so he was leaning forward poking his head out and this popped into my head. So enjoy.

Real Live Drawings!!

Here are some good old Pencil drawings. I did these at the kitchen table while teaching
my kids how to draw. The Rhino and the Bird are some early experiments with an idea I'm developing.

Meeting Sketch

Meeting Sketching. I like to sketch with a black pen when I can, not worry about
all the "how to draw" stuff in my head.

Man and a girl, with a monkey.

Little doodle on real live paper! Through the monkey on as an after thought.
Carry on.
