Scanning Blues




I feel slightly ripped off with this particular post. I just spent the last 2 hours painting a really rough layout but I cannot transfer it digitally accurately because a) my scanner is too small, and despite now having the money to get a scanner, I am having a notoriously difficult time finding one b) my scanner is completely changing the colours in the painting. Fortunately the colours remained more or less intact when I shot it with a camera, and I am hoping to do the second half of this painting in photoshop. Perhaps afterwards I will then recreate it in actual paint. Perhaps not. In any case, this is a Work in Progress, definately not a finished product, but I feel quite content to have accomplished this much in 2 hours. The rest is all detailing, and I am much more confident doing this in photoshop than in real paint.

The drawings are little sketches that I technically did before bed last night, when I spent an hour doing some studies of random things. Most of it was either others work, or not great (such as the examples here) but it does show what I have been up to in the past day.

As for my homework - today I spent the day working on my animation. Through Kill Bill, Kill Bill 2, The Last Samurai, and then half of the Last Samurai with commentary on, I managed to clean up 36 drawings of around 130 due thursday. Keeeeep on truckin'! Also I went to go help out some friends of mine that are applying to animation.

Oh, and finally despite the fact that this post reads as monday at 6am, I still techincally consider this Sunday night, because I have not gone to bed yet. So this is my sunday post. Later Folks!

And now for today...








Today has been pretty uneventful - and pretty full of work. That... sounds like a lot of days at school. Anyways, I had a very surprising amount of fun doing this assignment. I have a feeling that may have something to do with the fact that this is the first assignment that strongly uses perspective all year. Actually we still have yet to do a layout this year *cough *cough stupid layout teachers *cough *cough. Actually that is mean - we have had two fantastic layout teachers this year, but we have so far had a serious lack of any assignments, so I feel I have the right to whine about it despite the fact that I have to sacrafice sleep and whatever form of social life I currently have if we started getting busy in layout.

Anyways, these are the roughs for some victorian horse -drawn carriages. I included my rough lay in for the 3/4 drawing just in case Siobhan, Karima, or Steph would find it useful. I realize this is silly, because so far I haven't told any of them about this site yet. Plus it's pretty elementary stuff. But I figured I'd post it for the good of... uh... mankind... anyways.

Well, it looks like it's time for me to animate again now *groan... I can't wait until it's 2am and I can stop working and sleep... or ... something...
