Erica Russell Artist Research

 Artist research on Erica Russell for my pre-production work. The drawings are references from her films Feet of Song and Triangle. I really like the simple shapes used to create a human body, and I love how to colours pop in the animation! It wasn't until the last page where I started to like my interpretations of the research. I used ink to re-create the images, which looks like it was the material used in the original films, but I do want to try drawing in this style digitally.

Robot Concept Design

A concept design for a robot character in a student film. The film involves mo-cap so the robot had to be humanoid. The design wasn't picked for the final film.

My Inbetweens!

 I LOVE inbetweening! It sounds like a job nobody would care for but it's my favourite part of animating! It's that point in the animation process where the animation is beginning to look smooth and almost finished. Doing a job that takes the film that one step further makes me feel good about being part of a project. I can't remember if I posted my inbetweens on this blog before, so here they are! I'm generally proud of these:

First Life Drawings of 2018

 Here are my first life drawings of 2018! 

 It was in this life drawing class that I realised I liked drawing figures in simple shapes instead of realistic details, because to me trying to draw realistically makes the drawing look like it's in the uncanny valley, which isn't my favourite thing.

From here I got ideas for what kind of artists I wanted to research for my pre-production bible.
