Experimenting with style

Grandpa explorations

Another drawing for Cup’o’Doodle.  Man, those shapes are really challenging. I’m also trying to get better at using light with color. Clearly it has issues, but bear with me, i’ll slowly get there.

A few grandfather designs for an upcoming project, a few could very well pass as hipsters!

Some character designs I did for a pitch at Robotika which unfortunately didn’t go through. Really had fun designing and had some nice animation/movement ideas for these guys.  Maybe, some day…

More stuff for Cup’o’doodle

I started contributing to Cup’o’Doodle which is a great source of inspiration and really does push you to think out of the box using just the given doodle to come up with something interesting.  Check the site out, really great stuff by amazing artists.

After a long long time, I could manage to update the header image for “everythinganimated” channel I’m curating on Vimeo.

It’s a great way to discover amazing animation, and I do all the work :) You just have to sit back and watch new stuff.  So go subscribe!

Just a turn-around test with an existing character.  Had to modify him a bit for functionality.  Over and out!

The objective of this assignment was to try and show story while still focusing on different shapes and designs.  Over and out!

Coincidental Woody Allen look-a-like “librarian”

Here are some librarian designs, focusing on faces.  Realized after drawing these that my stereotype of librarians goes as far as “having glasses”.  Oh well

Drawing faces & trying out brushes.  Trying to try and move away from my old boring habits 

 Here’s the full “Pirates” lineup with the addition of two brothers

Here’s work for week 2 - Bored Crusader.  Things that were to be focused on while designing this character: silhouette, basic shapes, carrying shape language throughout the character & showing of character traits

I’ve started taking a class with Nate Wragg on Character Design for Animation.  Here’s week 1 work where we focus on designing characters through very basic shapes.  Turns out, triangle is a really hard shape to work with.  More to come

Just trying my hand at wood painting.  Very fun indeed.

more progress here

hopefully, we’ll be seeing more of this guy soon!
