Homework

165 Students:
In your sketchbook, full page, draw yourself as a

Simpsons style character. Have fun with it, color is

optional, use your red or blue pencil for the concept

art. 166 students are welcome to join in. Yep...the

166 Students:

Thank you for turning in your character pages. The 

next thing you should be doing is working on your 

Walk, Fly, Swim animations.These should be created 

in the same manor that the walk cycles were done at 

the end of the 165 class. The only difference is that 

you do not need to ink them. They should stay as 

true animatics and be loose pencil drawings. You can 

turn them in any order, you choose. The first rough 

draft of one of the animatics is due Tuesday 30.

Caricature

Below are examples and a couple of links to some great caricature artists. Take a little time to look at the work. As you do, remember,
caricature is exaggeration not distortion.

At the bottom of this post you can find the homework drawing project.
