Filled up another page today, and more!

Trying to make it a habit to fill up one of these every day.

Just practicing figures. Time varies.

I can’t seem to draw today, so back to 30-second figures.

I have to write lots of exams this week so I only have time to do roughs for this week’s fight choreography assignment.

There are 30+ pictures in here so I’m putting the content under cut.  Read ahead if you wanna see Uncle Iroh kick some ass.

When I’m not exactly sure how to draw a pose, I draw it over and over and over on my sketchbook until I find one that I like.  Of course it would probably be faster to just look up a reference, but this way I force myself to come up with poses without the need for a reference.

The first two shots of this week’s storyboarding assignment.  There is no script restriction, we get to create whatever we want, but we have to choreograph a hand-to-hand combat.

My idea is to have a fight inside an office building, where I can destroy cubicles and blast through doors.  Also thinking about doing bits of parkour just to make things more interesting.  If this gets too hard, though, I’ll settle for a manly fistfight in a dark alley.

Assignment #6: Gollum Monologue

Week 6 assignment was to board a scene using Gollum’s monologue in LOTR: Two Towers. We were supposed to use two characters, but I’ve never done mirror play before so I thought I should try out something new, and I picked Joker because I can’t think of another character psychotic enough to do a Gollum monologue.

The entire animatic is timed but on some parts the audio is still a bit off-sync.  I’m not sure why because when played on Storyboard Pro it sync’d up quite nicely.  I could spend hours tweaking and exporting until it comes out perfect, but I’d rather move on to other things.  Towards the end the boards get a bit more sketchy and the acting is less posed out because I ran out of time. Probably shouldn’t have started this the day before it’s due.

Not done, but I made this anyway.  Crank up the volume.  Drawing Joker is effing hard.
