Character Design

165 Students:

Character design project.

1. In your sketchbook note some of the defining characteristics that you would like to have for your character design.

A. What Species.

B. What basic shape do they represent.

C. Age

D. Name

E. The type of world they live in.

2. In your sketchbook, using only the red pencil, draw a minimum of 12 different characters based on your defining characteristics keep the drawings loose, show the shapes and set up lines. Do not add ink to these drawings. 

3. Your goal is to pick one of the characters that you like the most and re-draw that character on a separate page in 12 different styles, (Like the ones shown below. At the end of the process you will choose one style and that will be the one you use it for an animated walk/jump animation.

4. On a full page of your sketchbook draw that final version of your character, show the setup lines and ink. Place the character in a pose that conveys personality. 

5. This is Due Tuesday.

6. If you want to get ahead a little, the next step of the process will be to create a character page. 

7. A proper character page shows the character standing in the same pose, with all of the features lined up, and is shown from the following angles,

Front, 3/4, profile, 3/4 back, back. 

This is similar to the sack character page that we created only more complex because this time its a fully developed character.

8. Once the character page is complete, a character spin will be created using the character page drawings. We will be working on this in class next week.

166 Students:

In your watercolor sketchbook, draw one of the characters from your bible project, full body, add watercolor pencil. Experiment by adding black ink pen on top. Try changing the colors of the costume. Remember, one of the goals of the bible project is to not just copy what you see but also allow your self to be inspired, its a cartoon!

*We will look at them in class on Tuesday.

Homework

165 Students:

On Thursday have the tree you drew in class, ready to present.

1. Use blue and red pencil, add black marker paying attention to line quality.
2. Keep the line work clean and not sketchy. 
3. Have fun!

 

166 Students:

On Thursday I will give you a homework drawing project that will require the use of your watercolor pencils and watercolor sketchbook. Bring those items to class.

Week 2 Day 8 of Animation Class

Wow! you folks are amazing... you created an amazing amount of work today and you experimented with a lot of different kinds of materials. 

Here is a break down of what you created.

1. A one page mini foldable that is blank. (Hold onto this we will use it next week).

2. A Booklet made of magazine pages that had some of the pages painted over with Gesso. (Hold onto this, we will use it later).

3. A single page from an old book that served as a background for a stenciled object.(This you glued into your sketchbook).

4. Everyone covered an envelope with two collage elements and drawings. The envelope was turned into me, I will mail it back to the college and bring them into class when I get them. 

5. In your sketchbook you experimented with watercolor on wax crayon and colored pencils that were blended with a Q-tip and Un-Natural Turpenoid.

6. Lastly, in your sketchbook, you created an ink monster that required you to blow the ink around the page with a straw. (some of you used a little to much ink...) After the ink was dry, black markers were used to add shoes, hands, eyes or even wings. Check out

the work of Stefan G. Bucher, he has created hundreds of monsters the same way.

Homework

I gave you a pre stapled white booklet, your job is to fill it with doodles or an organized story that you will fill with drawings using all of the topics that came from the story cubes. Using only a pencil is fine, if you decide to ink, be careful because the paper is thin.

Topics:

bolt of lightning

ray gun

pill

egg

bee

sack 

sheep

rice bowl

teepee

raincloud

axe

house

pyramid

temple

happy/sad

speedometer

magnifying glass 

airplane

Have fun with the booklet if you have questions please email me.

Photos from the Monster Draw are now up

Homework Drawing project for Spring Break

165 Students: For Thursday, on a single sheet of paper in your sketchbook, divided into 4 quarters. Draw a caricature in the way that we covered it at the beginning of the semester. Use red and blue pencil followed by ink to show 4 different famous people. Make sure to note the name of each person with the drawing. This is practice for the Spring Break homework project (shown below). The page with the 4 drawings and your car drawing will be looked at next Thursday.

This is the project for the break!

 

Yes I'm serious.... this project will make you a better artist.
