Life Drawing

The first two Images were 1 minute drawings for which I used my left hand. 

The following Image were 3 minute sketches done with my right hand. 

The last sketches were 15 minutes long. I think that I sometimes draw too small. 

Overall my life drawing skills need a lot of improvement. 

Eirtakon 2014

Eirtakon took place in Croke Park Confference Center in Dublin on the 21-23 of November.

It was my  first weekend at Eirtakon and I must say I had an absolute amazing time. I got to meet up with friends, cosplay and have lots of fun. The Uk39 Finale- Hatsune Miku & Friends concert was also really interesting. I cosplayed as Naruto from Naruto and as Amidala from Star Wars. My favourite part of  the weekend was to hang out with new and old friends and enjoy the convention together. I did however feel that the convention was missing water fountains as I was dehydrated throughout most of the weekend. Overall, this was a weekend which I will never forget and I recommend others to go to it. I'm looking forward to the next Eirtakon. 

Here is a video made by Grahamedia of Eirtakon 2014 that shows some of the cosplays and people that were at the convention.

Life Drawing

This week for life drawing I was struggling a lot due to the awkward angles.  I still have a long way to go and a lot to improve on. 

Channel Indent Storyboard

Here are two of my Ideas for my Channel Indent. 

Traditional Animation Tweening

About two weeks ago we were introduced to our new animation tutor Barry. From him we are learning how to do Tweening. Bellow are the first four exercises he gave us to do. I had a lot of fun working on them and then seeing the final result. Barry gave us the Key Images and the rest was up to us to finish.                  

I have a lot f fun making these animations and I am looking forward to learning more and improving.

I chose to work on the National Geographic Channel. 

Here is the Treatment File for my new Brief:

I made a small mistake in the technique and approach part which I was unable to fix as the file won't open. I meant to say I ail design the logo in Illustrator not InDesign. 

Life Drawing

These drawings took one minute each. We had to try and capture the whole figure within that time. 

For these two pages it took 5 minutes for each pose.

These two drawings took 10 minutes.  I often struggle to draw certain angles. such as the one in the image above. I made the model look more heavy weight than she is. 

 The last 10 minute drawing was interesting as after around 8 minutes another person on the left of me had to finish the drawing and fix things I did wrong. I made a lot of mistakes in this drawing, which probably made it harder for my classmate. 

Life Drawing

For Yesterdays class we were told to draw with the hand we don't usually draw with. I am right-handed so I was drawing with my left hand. Surprisingly my left hand is much better at drawing than I thought.

 The first three pages were one minute sketches for which I used a black crayon. 

These two pages were also 1 minute sketches for which I used Ink. 

These two were five minute sketches apart from the blue ink one. I used the black crayon to draw them with. 

The last three were 10 minute sketches. I still have a lot to improve on but I had a lot of fun using the blue ink and then drawing the finer detail with the charcoal. 

:D Happy After Halloween :D

Face painting is what I LOVE most about Halloween :D
