Childrens Cartoon Animation

This is a little transitional clip that I animated for a children's show, it was really fun to make. (p.s. the audio is rough)

And here are some of the sketches if anyone's interested... :)

Random Character Drawings

Just a couple of characters I drew when I thought I would try and do the 30 Characters Challenge back in November.

You can find the challenge here:

Really hope to give it another go next year!

A Character (finally) And More Life Drawing

I think these life drawing classes are one of the best investments I've ever made. I find it hard to tell if I'm improving, but either way they're so much fun...

And I finished off this little guy who I created for a story idea I had once..

Medieval Dude..

These are my life drawing sketches from last Wednesday.
It's quite odd drawing a model clothed, but I let myself relax with this one and some of my sketches came out more 'cartoony' than usual, which was nice :)

Random Topic Drawings

These are some random drawing topics I did a while ago. I sometimes use the random topic generator at http://itscharacterdriven.blogspot.co.nz/  I've done a lot more which I'm hoping to clean up and use for colouring practice.

I just can't stop...

I've been taking life drawing classes each week, and I am absolutely loving them...

I got home last night from a two hour class and sat on the floor of my room and kept drawing! There's just something about drawing a live model that's so inspiring and motivating :)

Double Bounce Man

So I realised today that it's been over a month since I last posted. I think this is mostly because I have started a new job and have been super busy.

So here is a little clip I animated while I was at uni. 
He's really only a stick figure, but I think he's cute :)

I think the moral of it is just to remember that life goes on and things will be ok!

And this is something I drew today, it's supposed to represent myself if I were a Monsters Inc character. I'd definitely be yellow :)

Gone Fishing..

I finally got the time to give this little guy the attention he deserves and put him into a model sheet...

While sitting in class one sunny day and wishing I was out on some quiet coast with a rod and a thermos fishing I came up with this dude, and he's been pretty useful so far :) 
I've animated him busting some moves, and of course casting his line. Might put those up at some point. 

You Again

Time for a new post? 
Yeah I thought so too...

So unfortunately I can't post anything to do with what I'm working on at the moment as I've signed a confidentiality agreement... But I'm very excited about it and hopefully I will be allowed to show you the finished product when it is all done.

In the mean time I thought I better put something up.
This is a character I designed while I was at school. I used him for a dialogue scene but  didn't really get to know him very well so I thought I'd re-visit him today and see how I felt. He does need a bit of work but I like him, and love the moustache :) Might see him again in the future.
