Motion Studies - Walk

For our motion studies module, I created a 3/4 view, 2D animation of a walk based on a video of me walking. Although the proportions are a bit off, the character walking towards the screen works well in my opinion.

Painting

I thought that I should have a go at painting since I don't do enough of it and so I've attempted to copy a background from Winnie the Pooh. I'm really happy with this painting and really like the style of it - watercolours with some pencil outlines on top of it. There are however some issues with the perspective in my painting, especially in the fence and the pumpkin cart.

Portrait

Today, I tried to sketch a portrait of myself. This was challenging because I'm not used to looking at myself in that much detail. Although it looks vaguely like me, I think there are some issues with the facial features, particularly the nose. I am happy with the position of the features though as I used a grid to help me get them in the right place.

Using a Book to improve sketching

One of my animation lecturers lent me a sketching book that gave different steps on drawing animals, people and the countryside and so I did a few of these tasks. Here's what I came up with... :) The techniques used for these tasks will be useful to use in other sketches.
