Happy 2014!

2013 was such a great year thanks to my family, friends and whoever supported me along this difficult yet fulfilling journey as an artist! Here’s to fishing for a good year! Happy 2014!! :)

More characters!

Some exploration sketches I did for my film this year. The story is still in progress but I'm looking to nail it down over the next week or so!

Also, I'll be off to CTN in 10 minutes and I have no doubt that work will be easy peasy over the next couple of days since I'll be coming back with a dozen of books and a ton of inspiration to work off!

Sketchbook pages.

I was looking through my sketchbook and thought I should post these sketches I did over the summer.

Bart Junior!

Our first 2d animation assignment for the fall semester was to come up with a model sheet of a character we see ourselves animating for the semester. These are the few drawings I did of Bart Junior, who is the railroad track operator in my mine film this year. His design isn't final but this is the look I am going for.

 A drawing of Bart operating the track.

 

I don't have the entire story figured out yet but the gist is that a batch of miner's lives are highly dependent on Bart, who happens to be an unbelievably careless track operator.

 

Drawing of a Happy Bart.

All these drawings are done with black col-erase on letter-sized paper.

Most of these poses are probably not even gonna end up in the final film but they help a lot in figuring out what kind of a character Bart is. I have so much work to do on the story but figuring it out is my favorite part of the process!

Back to school with more adventures ahead!

Hey everyone! I'm finally back to school as a third year character animator at CalArts now. I still can't believe my first two years flew by so quickly. Anyway, I did some sketches for my upcoming film and thought it'd be great to share them here. I'm going for a comedy this year and I can't wait to see how my film will unfold throughout the semester!

These sketches are done with an ink pen on letter sized paper during a Friday guest lecture.

The Runaways!

BAM BAM! This was a such fun piece to work on! It's been sitting around in my computer for the longest time and I just wanted to get it done so I can move on to another project!

The Runaways!

I also just finished my story internship with Sony Pictures Animation last Friday, August the 16th! I can't believe how fast time flew by! I learned so much within the two months of my time there and was incredibly lucky to be under the guidance of so many talented artists who were extremely generous with their time and I am super thankful for that! I miss the people a ton, but I'm also excited to go back to CalArts as a third year this coming fall and I can't wait to see what's next!

Hope everyone is having an amazing summer!!!
