some sketches



Some random sketches. The first one I liked, and its done on a friend's sketchbook, so I asked for a copy to post it up here. The other is a random page of cat studies I was doing to get the hang of cats, and I was kinda surprise some of my classmate liked it. It's so rough and disproportioned haha, since this blog isn't getting much stuff I thought I'd post it up too.

It threw me a little off when alot of people I talked to said they prefer looking at sketchy stuff, I thought I was the only one. I grew up in an art culture in which alot of emphasis was on cleanliness and sleek designs, so I never bothered showing off my stuff. My approach had always been trying to capture life, thanks to all the animation books I been reading (The latest one being 'Drawn to Life'! go get it), so I none of my stuff was very impressive to begin with. No cool factor to it. One of my teachers use to say, 'concentrate on structure! The line quality will come on its own.' Maybe one day, my attempts at getting a strong foundation will allow me to create all the cool in the world.

Basic Rant

No, this blog is not dead, I just haven't made the time to update this place. I will soon, maybe a massupdate, but til then...

I been getting alot of spam comments on my blog recently. Does anyone know how to get rid of them, apart from disabling comments altogether?

Is it over yet?

Here's a couple of animation assignments from school. I liked how the weight lift turned out, even though there's a few things i would like to fix. I thought there'd be time to fix that during the 1 week break, but there's another 6 assignments due when school starts again. Like boot camp all over again.

Sire




haha welcome back. summer was spent back in singapore, sketching. now i'm in my 5th week of 2nd year, and i think i feeling a little improvement. here's some roughs for char design class. its suppose to be for weight lift toss, so i thought i'd make a squire lift both the sword AND the stone. in all honesty, i had that idea a week before we saw the sword in the stone example in lecture, but i think it ended up having a greater influence on me. the first one was what i had in mind the week before, and the last one was the final one i decided to go with.

One more for the road

video

First year of Sheridan College is done. 3 more now. It went by so fast, i barely had time to breathe. Looking back, i guess there has been a little improvement. Not as much as I wanted, but perhaps these things cannot be forced.

Half of me is looking forward to going back to Singapore, but at the same time I want to stay here, but what I would do in Oakville the next 3 months I have no idea.

Above is the last animation assignment. For now, I will feel a little content that I did this in one fairly straightforward. But even now as I watch it more, all these faults fly out at me screaming to be fixed.
