Here are a few sketchbook pages from today, still working on my character designs and the 3rd Year film that I'm helping with, as well as my group project, and I've been trying to get started on my essay too...SO MUCH TO DO!

Today was the second half of the character design workshop. I still need to continue developing my character and draw a turn-around of her, but so far I'm really pleased with how she looks.

Ballerina

Here are my sketchbook pages from the Character Design workshop. I decided to draw an overweight ballerina- I'm still just trying out different silhouettes and poses, but so far I love her chunky, masculine shape, and her massive bottom half in the final two pages!

A very productive day!

Today at Uni we had life drawing in the morning, as usual, and then a Character Design workshop in the afternoon which was SO MUCH FUN. It was run by Gillian Reid, a freelance character designer, and she showed us her process of designing and developing characters. I'm really keen to develop my character designs this term, and it was really interesting to see the whole process, and Gillian's work is absolutely amazing. I'm feeling very inspired! I didn't have time to scan my sketchbook pages from the workshop today, and so I'll blog them tomorrow.

Here are a few of my life drawings from this morning. We only had 1 hour in the life room, and so I don't feel like I drew anything that I'm particularly pleased with.

Yesterday, I drew a few character designs of a bull for the 3rd Year film that I am assisting on. I'm really pleased with these, and they were so fun to draw.

Whilst I was waiting for life drawing to start this morning, I doodled this page of strange little characters.

Boscombe

I've had a very productive day and finally completed my storyboard. Here is my final storyboard, and some pages of my rough sketches and ideas. I'm excited to start working on the animatic next week, and hopefully I will be able to sort out the timing. I also met with the director of the film I'm working on, and I've been given some storyboarding and research to do, it's nice to be so busy! I feel like I will have a really full portfolio by the end of term if I keep working at this pace!

Today, I finally created this rough version of my storyboard. With only 4 seconds of animation, I've been trying to figure out the best way to make my character move without the timing feeling rushed, and I've been trying out so many different storyboards that I'm so pleased to have a (hopefully) finalised idea. I need to complete a new, cleaned-up storyboard by the end of today, hopefully, ready to make the animatic with the rest of my group next week.

Here are a few doodles that I did yesterday evening as a break from Uni work. Having a break from drawing with more drawing.
