Morning practice

Just some mid morning practice, 30mins from that poor photographed sketch below. I'm practicing to speed paint basically, and half an hour to have it sketched out in photoshop and coloured isnt too bad. Just trying to build up my portfolio I guess.

Drawing skills

Just a quick sketch I did of my fiancee as a 5yr old, just doing little things to improve my drawing skill. Going to upload it into photoshop, and tweak elements of it , like the mouth and tidy it up. I'm quite happy with the sketch as I drew her from memory, taking elements that stick out most to me and making her into a child.

Basic Backdrop

After a lot of thought about my scene, and studying the backdrops in other cartoons. I realised how important it was to keep it simple, in a lot of them they're almost abstract, and impression of the scene around main  characters. I have made the moon seperate as I might be using that in another scene, with her flying over it or something. I'm still working on how to best to create the forest scene around  her house, but most attempts have failed either lokks to shabby or there is too much in the scene to render so it crashes.
Anyway I will be working on the scene for the time being as nothing has been sorted with NOW, so I can not really progress further without the tutorials Andy has given us, which is a big shame as its been over a week now.

Wile Coyote

I love how it still keeps in theme with the classic cartoons. It is a mordern version, fitting in with the times today, but seeing as my own piece is going to be very similar to Looney Tunes I had o show their own 3d work too. It brightens up my working day while working on this project

The Witch and the Broom

So I've now added her hat to her head, and modelled the broomstick, I'm hoping that in both these models to increase the level of depth with Mudbox. Just need to figure out how to do it. Unfortunately I can not progress further with these two models at the minute because the basic tutorials on how to rig etc. have been deleted accidently on the University website, infact my entire years tutorials and briefs have all gone. Hopefully will be uplaoded soon, I really want to see my podgy witch move. The brrom I've decided wont walk in my animation but I may make a seperate one just for my own little personal challenge.
