Falling Leaf

phew, finally put the last touch to it; I can work on this indefinitely.. or definitely, when I turn insane @_@ I think the speed of the leaf needs to vary more; it actually does change, but it's so slight that it's hard to notice. So, must emphasize! Must exaggerate! Yet, make it believable! 9_9

 Enjoy! Especially you, sio.

p.s. Not sure if you can see the owl well...

Bigfoot

HW: draw yourself as a mythical creature originated in the Americas. I entertained the idea of Chupacabra, Tailypo, and Bigfoot.. but I am lacking creative juice. Loose and organic(?) lines in C.Sander's style, and with the use of a brush pen for the first time. It gives a stylish aspect to the lines.. despite of the quality of the drawing itself, kinda like cheating o.o

this guy is going to trip! George of the Jungle... watch out for that left foot!! (or.. maybe, the left foot is mid-air, still moving forward towards that weight "catch". 'nodnod)

UPA CHA RAC TER

 

This is actually quite the opposite of my current state... fatigue.. sore throat...

Upcoming, Falling Leaf

I'm currently working on animating a falling leaf, accounting for gravity, air resistance, space, and the audience's entertainment. With less than 3hrs' class time left to work with >.< Well, here are the ingredients I'm using to cook up a hearty meal.

 

 lobed.. autumn leaves, in varying positions. They remind me of feathers.

a tree losing its leaves. Can you see the resemblance of a ballerina?

Stay tuned!

Chris Sanders

Chris Sanders is the animation director of Lilo & Stitch, and most recently, The Croods. Here's a quick attempt at imitating his AWESOME style. I think the legs need to be longer.. or rather, it's disproportionate - something I'm encountering with my 3D model too due to the unclear middle line of the body. But I'm content with the drawing overall.

P.S. still have a long queue of sketches to post, but I'm trying to make time and finalize them further x.x

Bouncing Ball

soon is indeed soon. Here is my very first 2D animation.. in college.

eugh...

actual posts coming.. soon.... not very tech savvy... also disorganized >_< bleh.
