Studies and WIPS!


Time for another potentially sparse blog update! But I'm here, I'm still drawing, and I'm even doing a little more animating recently! Settled back into life in Northern Ireland all well and good, and getting inspired by all of my friends who have improved so much! Inspired and maybe a little competitive haha! (I'm looking at you, Kami!)





 I picked up a trial version of Toon Boom Harmony and a couple of tutorials, so here I am learning to animate some small fx, its pretty neat! Here's a little water splash! I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea what I'm doing, but having made it, I can atleast see where I could re-draw to make the animation more fluid- where the water begins to fall theres a confused moment of hesitation- Punintentional, Promise.


I've been trying to get a couple of little 20-30 minute warm ups done every day recently, (inspired again, by Kami and also Tom Scholes)  So a couple of master studies and paint practices!

Then to wrap it  up, I tried to mimic the Matt Rhodes style for character designs- a little bit, anyway!
