Painting - Outdoor Scape - Studies

First real project for Painting this year at Sheridan. The theme was very broad. Outdoors!

I decided to go with a pine forest, like the kind I loved horseback riding in back in Poland. Ah, nostalgia.

Here are my tonal studies:

And here are my color comps! Still not sure which one I'll go with.

Painting - Tonal Exercise

Back to painting! We got an in class exercise - we got a ready made layout, and hand to make a quick black and white tonal thumbnail sketch of it. For the larger format we were allowed to render it either in black and white or in color.

Just for fun, I did mine in color! Gouache on Watercolor Paper. Again, not my design! Just fun with paints.

And here is my rough tonal thumb

Animation - Wave Boat Sack

Back to Sheridan Animation exercises!

Here is my Wave Boat Sack. I think I could still fiddle a bit more with the wave - but I'm too tired.
I can see that a whole summer focousing on VFX really did help me with my splash.

Here it is! Good ol' pencil on paper:

and here are some fun stills:

Storyboard - The Good Little Girl - Story Beats

And here is my character lineup and Story Beats for "The Good Little Girl". This is the one that got chosen, and I will be making my board based on it!

I'm actually super excited about this one!

Exploration for this idea is here:

How to Train your Dragon - Selfie

The Second Year's at Sherdian decided we should make a themed banner with all of our self-portaits. The theme that won was How to Train you Dragon.

So here is TINA - DRAGON TAMER:

Photoshop and pencil:

And just for fun, my original sketch:

Storyboard - The Good Little Girl - Exploration

And here is Poem #2 -

THE GOOD LITTLE GIRL

There was a little girl, who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forhead.
When she was good, she was very, very good;
But when she was bad...she was horrid!

So my character for this storyboard will be Kit Kurlz (a nod to my hatred of the font) and her pony Calamity.

Here is some early exploration!
