March 15, Homework

165 Students:

Draw one version of yourself as an Anime style character. Use your blue pencil to design the basic shape, add the red pencil for detail. No Graphite! and add black ink. No need to color your drawings, show the entire body, full page. Below I have several samples of myself in the 3 possible choices that you have. Notice how each one looks very different... yours should be just as specific to the time/period/style. We will check them out in class. Have fun!

Weekend Homework

165 Students:
Ink your sack character page and your backgrounds. No textures and remember to not leave gaps in the drawings. On Tuesday we will start animating the sack drop.

166 Students: 
I will review your individual progress with each of you. You should all be finishing your character pages out side of class and working on the character spin in class.

Keep this space open for the movement of the sack. (See examples below)

March 1, Homework

165 Students:
Your transformation projects are looking weird, wild and snappy! Good job...For homework, I would like you to add two drawings to your animation. 
1. As shown in class, use your regular normal forward facing face drawing as a template for drawing your profile.
2. Place a clean sheet of paper that has had the holes punched out, on top of your regular normal forward facing face drawing. 
3. Use the spacing of the facial features in the front view drawing and the profile photo you took in class to draw your self in profile.
4. Once the profile drawing is complete you will create a smear drawing in the way that was demonstrated in class. 
(SHOWN BELOW ARE LUCKY'S DRAWINGS).
