Week 3
These drawings were the longest poses I have done so far. I am starting to get more into drawing faces and hands and feet. That is my mission for this class.

Week 2
This model had some great poses. I think she used to be a dancer. We did a lot of quick ones in this class.

Week 1
I started taking a Karl Gnass Class at the American Animation Institute on 9/17. these drawings are from the first week. it has been over a year since I had taken figure drawing. I don't think I started out too bad.

Siggraph 2007
San Diego Ca

Art Institute was putting on life drawing classes during Siggraph. So I attended one. This was my first experience using a wacom for life drawing but I got some ok results! drawings range from 1-7 min. Enjoy!











The top gestures are 1 min all the way to the 7 min pose at the bottom.

LA Zoo 07.01.2007

Last Weekend I went to the La Zoo for the first time. I was impressed by how close you could get to all of the animals and the variety of animals that they have. They even have an Australia section which I love! These drawings are all from that area.

Matt Showed me this photographer yesterday and I love her photos, I just wanted to share them with you so check her out!

Also here is the link to her photos on flickr

This January I started to take water color lessons again while I was home in NY. I looks them at the place where I first started painting, but I had a different teacher. The first painting is of Sandy Pond, wich is in upstate NY. It was done from a photgraph. I think this was a bit overworked and forced looking but it was good to paint again!



Ok ant this was my second attempt just to get the free flow of watercolor without holding back and a one time pass. I was more successful in letting the paint flow but when it dried there wasn't enough contrast, that is the nature of watercolor, but I was feeling like I was done with the water and wanted to move on.



After abandoning the view of sandy pond I decided I wanted to learn how to paint a portrait. So i went through a lot of magazines trying to find good portrait painters and i cam across a woman named Debbie Cason Rankin. It was in the Winter 07 issue of American Artist. This is a copy of her piece, the reason I chose to do a copy was so that I could learn how to handle a portrait as opposed to a landscape. It was great to learn from her because she showed the photo that she worked from so that I could see the choices that she was making.



Well this art is all from January through the end of February, now that I found these I am hoping to do a few more!

So this is a Drawing that was done by Cesar one of my coworkers. Everyone here at work thinks that I love Australia and "Happy Feet". I do love Australia but the only reason i love "Happy Feet" so much is to annoy Anthony.

Ok so here is a new animation test that I have started. Any feedback would be greatly appriciated.

So now this blog is official back to my art blog. If you want to see any of my travel photos you will have to visit My trave Blog

I promise that there will be some art on this page soon.
