Head Drawing

I'm enrolled in a head drawing class this semester and it's interesting to go back to this style of drawing after so long; usually if I do figure studies it's just small thumbnails sketches in a notebook. Here is a second attempt at a head assignment last week. I've also included a more "Joe-ish" doodle of this guy--just for fun.

Pitch Boards

Here's some pitch boards that I did for a story I wrote about a man named Skipper Pickle who encounters some life-altering gelato at a small Italian Cafe.

Other Characters

I decided to name this alternate version of the "Hundred Acre Wood" the "118.37 Arpent Copse."

Here are the other characters that live there. Their names are Trigger, Hamlet, and Rabid.

Turnaround

Here's a turnaround sheet I did for the character below.

Silly Old Bear

Here's a character I just finished tonight. I call her Lamia and here's the tagline for the image:

"Sometimes, unbeknownst to Christopher Robin, Pooh would wander off the Hundred Acre Wood to the neighbor girl's house where they played more sinister types of games."

More Batman Boards

I reboarded a Batman scene that I had done last year. I like some of the changes I made, but I'm not sure that anything could ever be as cool as my original opening frame, I'll have to post the original at some point for comparison.

Storyboards

Here's some storyboards I just did for class. If they look familiar it's because I did a variation on this same story last year when I was in this class at BYU.

Mike Mignola

This last assignment was to create a character in an established comic book style. I chose Mike Mignola the creator of Hellboy. His style looks so simple, but it was a real challenge to try to duplicate.

Michel Gagne

We had an assignment to create an original character in the style of an established artist, I chose Michel Gagne. This guy's stuff is great because you can't tell if it's something cute that he's made creepy or something grotesque that he's made cuddly. There a certain quality to it that makes you want to be revolted and say "awwwww" all at the same time. Anyway, here's the character I did.

Frogs

So my final is finished...finally. It isn't cleaned up and colored, but the animation and sound are all there. Let me know what you think.
