So in addition to sculpting and drawing monsters you may have seen or heard me talk about classes and assignments via twitter or instagram. Well for the last year I have been taking classes at The Animation Academy with Charles Zembillas off and on. I happened upon this school around this time last year when I was really trying to decide what my next step was. I have loved animation since I was a kid and for a brief time entertained the idea of becoming an animator. I gave that up around the same time I stopped drawing again. a few years ago I took a few classes at the community college and it reignited my love of animation and drawing. So I have been learning the basics and have really been challenged with things I have never done before. It has been a great experience so far and my skills are slowly improving and I am loving every minute of it.
I don't know what will come of this but I will be sharing my progress more regularly as I go on, but for now here is a breakdown of quick instagram snaps of some of the work I have done in the last year specifically for my classes.
Character Design 1 - Went from exercises on basics to head and body turnarounds. Ended with action poses.
Background Design - Learned about perspective and drawing backgrounds.
Story Sketch - This one was tough. I had to draw scenes and try to convey story through my drawings.

Currently I am in Visual Development and I will start posting on that regularly. It has been hard work but worth every second.
