Aerial Perspective Practice In-Class


Project 4




Right now I've been thinking to do 1920s Great Depression + Anne of Green Gables, specifically the chapter where Gilbert Blythe has to rescue her from playing "Elaine, Lady of Shalot". My other story ideas include Pippi Longstocking and Alice Through the Looking Glass!

I need to decide, I've already done 16 so far...

Skull Painting


This was more difficult than I expected!! xD

In-Class Filter Exercise

So I started with this non-descript zoomed in photo of cucumbers...

And turned it into this, which I luckily saved...

As it then evolved into this hot mess which I'm not too crazy about.


Then Christian had us start with just a pure white square, and mess with filters until we got something interest! I like how this turned out - I feel like it has a painterly quality that you wouldn't expect.

Here were the steps I used to create the image above - give it a try! It's fun!

(I know, I'm revealing my secrets - a risky move indeed!)

Color Studies

Before I forget...

Off topic doodles!


 I've been doodling when I take breaks from animating for Chuck's 353B class... here are some that I have enjoyed. If you can't tell from the doodle above, I've been burning the midnight oil in the cintiq lab, especially for our midterm this week.

I really enjoyed experimenting with this one. I may even use it for my business cards to give out at CTNx - I have some left over from last year, but I think this image is more vibrant than what I had before.
Out of context this may not seem hilarious, but it was inspired by a comment on Facebook. Beware what you say on the internet, I may just draw it for you. 
My first time animating in photoshop ever, from the first week of this semester.

Now I'm doing all of my film in photoshop, say what?
