some doodles ive done for the dooodle blog :)

character demo @ CDA

i sub-taught for my buddy Rad's figure invention class tonight. i went over character design & storyboarding . i also demo'd some tips for breaking scripts down visually , conveying mood through staging and perspective , and also a short talk on facial expressions & posing . i also looked over their assignments and gave some portfolio tips .

its awesome to see so many people coming into art , and from around the world too there were a couple people there from out of the US working in animation and comics ! it was definitely a talented group :)

here was the character demo i prepared for them:

who am today?

felt really unsettled today..

stepped away from work for a bit to do this sketch tho for some reason it gave me anxiety illustrating it . i hate the feeling when you don't really no where you are mentally at certain moments , it makes it hard to do things

if there are any experienced flash/after effects animators/compositors interested in teaming up for a fun side project... haha :)

i think slowly im trying to see if some aspects of my style work as a static image as well as in motion . hopefully i can keep up little things like this, its super fun
