Notan

My forth year at Calarts is finally under way and I have to say I'm really enjoying my classes this year. This project is from Bill Perkins Cinematography and Composition class. He wants us to do these quick notan images every week in order to become better at compositional design. Drop me a line if you recognize the films I used.

Color, why do I hate thee

The most recent assignment we had for Dan Hansen's layout class was a dynamic drawing and a calm drawing. Here is my dynamic one. I haven't worked in color much this semester so I tried to push myself in that direction this time around. Hope you enjoy it. I still have to make the calm one. Maybe tomorrow.

Layout

Another layout for Dan Hansen's layout class. I wanted to add shading and color but I ran out of time. I might come back to this one in the winter but with film time around the corner I might not be able to.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

See you soon.

New Layout

It's been a while since I posted anything. Here is a layout I did this Wednesday. Wish I would have spent a little more time on it. There are some things I like about it and some I don't, the paint bucket is driving me crazy. Anyways I am trying to work on the go now so I can get some air so I purchased a tablet and TVPaint.

Now that I look at it, I should have added a boarder. I'll update it soon.

Anyways this was done using a Samsung Series 7 Tablet and TVPaint Professional Edition.

Film Layout, maybe?

I don't work digitally very often but i have tried to take more risks this semester and push myself a bit. This was a quick layout I did for Dan Hansen's class. I used some advice I got from Ricky Cometa in regards to opacity. I also went ahead and used some different brush and created some of my own. I think I might go back and paint the layouts I'm doing this semester to see how they come out and experiment a bit. The characters are not set so disregard them, lol.

Here we go again

So my second year at Calarts has started. I know I didn't do many updated last year but I will do my best to post as much as I can this year. Here is out first layout project of the year. Dan Hansen the director of the program is our teacher and our first assignment was to create a layout with a panther. So here you go, I'm kinda rusty since it was a long summer but I hope you enjoy it.
