Catching up: Gesture Drawing Class (Weeks 9, 10, 11, and 12)

I meant to post these a while back!  A few months ago, I took Mark McDonnell's gesture drawing class at the Animation Guild in Burbank. This is one of the best classes I've ever taken...highly recommended.

I finally got around to snapping photos of my results from the last few classes (Weeks 9-12).  Please click below to view...you may have to click further to zoom in.

Results from the entire semester can now be viewed here (also labeled "Gesture Drawing Class - Spring 2011" in the sidebar).

On a separate note, if you're planning on heading down to the San Diego Comic-Con this week, please check out Squid Kids and Hyperactive Monkey at Booth #5137.  My friends are exhibiting & selling their wares :)

I'll also be attending and will be sketching characters from Neopets, along with my fellow coworkers at the Nickelodeon Booth (#4113) on Sunday (7/24) from 2-3:30pm.  So feel free to stop by & say hello if you're there!

That's about it for now...I'll try to catch up & post more stuff soon.  Thanks for visiting!

More Gesture Drawings! (Weeks 6, 7, and 8)

Been a while since my last post...time flies so fast!  Below are my results from Weeks 6, 7, and 8 of Mark McDonnell's gesture drawing class at the Animation Guild in Burbank.  Mark is encouraging us to push some storytelling in these little gestural vignettes.

Gesture Drawing Class (Weeks 4 and 5)

Hope everyone is doing well out there!  Below are my results from Weeks 4 and 5 of Mark McDonnell's gesture drawing class at the Animation Guild in Burbank.  Mark has been encouraging us to push our drawings more (using basic principles of design, shape, value, composition, silhouettes, etc.)...and to have more fun overall.

Gesture Drawing Class (Weeks 1/2/3)

My friend & fellow artist Kendra Melton highly recommended a gesture drawing class taught by Mark McDonnell at the Animation Guild in Burbank...so that's what I'm taking now :)

Below are my class results from the past 3 weeks.  Sorry for the poor quality on some of the images...I'm drawing on a large pad that won't fit on my scanner, so I'm resorting to taking quick camera shots.

Loving this class so far & learning a ton :)  I'll try to post results from each week.  Thanks for visiting!
