Painting Finals

Here they are hours of work on a canvas :) The first is a three week, in class painting, done on studio time in about 15 hours. It was our in class final and we had to choose from preset still lifes around the room. The second piece was our homework final composed by myself, and painted in just about 15 hours as well, over one week. I was pretty happy with how the lighting came out in both of them but the cloth, gahhhhh the cloth was not my favorite part to paint :) The class itself though was excellent! Amazing teacher and a good first time experience with oils.

Life Drawing Sequence

These are sequence drawings from Le Royaume and Ratatouille, The goal was to keep the figure in proportion with the other figures and create a sense of movement through the page.

Hand Studies

Dreamworks Animation Studios

This Friday the PMC took a tour of Dreamworks Animation Studios in Glendale. And I must say... wow it was so pretty! The buildings have climbing flora covering them, there are fountains every where, and some of the best food I have eaten. The entire campus feels like a Tuscan palace. It was great to see the work environment, and receive input on what it takes to land a job at a large corporate animation studio like Dreamworks.
