Animation posing

I currently am working on a new showreel.

What does it take to make a good showreel? Good posing! 

Which includes good lines of action to make a character look more dynamic.

Once you understand it, you still have to practice to get better.

Once you can draw it, you can animate it.

Of course it's not a part of the showreel, but that's a great training actually.

Oh Gosh!

I haven't been posting about my work in a while. Probably because I'm in constant research. Diploma, oh Diploma, why are you so rude? What did I do to deserve that? Haha

Things are actually fine. My proposition has been rejected, but you know, it's all good. I knew this year wouldn't be easy, that it'd be about questioning and challenging myself. So I think a lot (too much?), I search a lot (enough?), I have good and bad ideas...

Processing!

I can't show too much for now, as I wait for a scenario to be accepted in the end.

But here are some stuff.

What I like drawing the most

I love doing 2D Animation !

But before animating, I need to create good characters. And the best way to do so is to train by sketching people I know, I meet or just see. It's not easy actually, and I don't always have time for that. But I know I'm getting better and better every year. I love studying people's faces (Sorry), drawing them and making caricatures.

Some sketches I made, among many others

Some drawings

I do a lot of Fan Art, as celebrities are a big part of my life. They inspire me so much!

Here are Brooke Elliott, little Miley Cyrus, Blanda Eggenschwiler and Nick Jonas.

I try several technics like pencil, charcoal or pastels.

Let me introduce you to my little sister, my grandfather and one of my best friends.

As I start making caricatures, I'd rather draw celebrities. They don't know me so they can't complain. Haha

Here are Elvis Presley, Amy Winehouse, Madison Delagarza and April Bowlby.

I currently am working on a Portfolio full of portraits and caricatures I want to finish before school starts again.

If you have any suggestion of people easy to caricature, don't hesitate to tell me!
