Trying to give triangles life

I knew Chris was going to be in the afternoon lecture and i hadnt gotten much round to doing any character designs for script to screen, mainly because they were traingles and i didn't think it would be too difficult.

When i got round to it i was struggling to give the characters personality and they just looked really flat. I experimented with creating more complicated designs using a verity of triangles but because the story i had in mind was light hearted and comedic i thought it'd be best to keep with a more cartoonty simple style. Howver i was still left with the problem of the designs looking lifeless

When lecture came about chris thought it'd be best to go back to basics and focus on gesture lines and had us in groups create actions and to draw them out. I enjoyed working with my group, but talking to people after class it seemed like half the class didn't enjoy it which kind of baffled me

Near the end of class i got chris to look at my desings and i asked him what i could do to improve them. He made the simple suggestion of using what we had just done in class and try to use the gesture lines. I was a bit hestiant to do becuase i didnt think it would make much difference so he took a look throgh my sketchbook and found a pose he liked and told me to apply the pose to one of my triangles. I did and my flat triangles finally sprung to life. I find more and more each day that you can never neglect the basics as they are the bases of what your skills are formed.

Belbin - Making of

Belbin roles - Making a balanced team Going into this session, I still hadn't decided on which group i want to join but Annabeth said it should be decided by the end of this session. I had offers from a few groups but decided to join up with Jolanta, Elena and Alisha as i knew i wanted to another attempt at a 2-D group project and i felt like this team had good chemistry and was full of talented artists. Annabeth explained Belbin roles to us and how these 9 personalities make a strong balanced team. When going through the Belbin roles i found that these four applied best to me; Monitor Evaluator - I feel this suits me well as i know that the critical side of my brain is over developed and have always thought i had sound judgement when it came to decision making. Working very slowly resonated too deeply and is something I'm trying to work on. Team Worker - I feel that my social relation when working in a group is always good,...

Devil and demons - turnaround and emotions

disclaimer i lost my bag which had the rough 10 sketches as well as the poststick nots for the old lion and the fox, ive redone both but the orginals were much better I've been really enjoying these tasks that Annabeth has been setting us, this being no different. After to speaking to a few people the character that people liked the most was actually my favourite too. I has missed the lecture that this was assigned to us but there was enough information on blackboard to go off that I was lost on what to do. While doing the turnarounds I came to the unfortunate realisation that I was struggling with getting my character to look consistently like its self from different angles. I'm guessing this was the point of the task and this is one of the reason I'm loving this course because I know how much I have to progress and these tasks are shining a light on them. It's a bit sad because personally I like it and I know that's what it takes to improve but on the ...

walking in maya

The strikes are really effecting us students. So many people from class don't know what to do or how to do the work. Luckily Johnny posted a handout on blackboard for walking and with the timing challenge he had asked us to do i had an idea of how to approach this challenge so i went in the steps that he instructed. Starting with sliding and then adding the y movement and finally rotation. hips and head would be last thing i would add. Following the hand out was quite confusing especially considering that Johnny hadn't gone through it with the class by the time I had a go at it.
