Hitch Hiker





More messing with style, coloring, and turtles.
There can always be more turtles.

Just Keep Walkin'



Aw man, check out this rough lookin' thing.

Despite the sketchyness of it I am actually quite pleased with how it's coming along!  I've been reading 'The Animator's Survival Kit' and trying to apply some of the fundamentals myself.  Gosh, I can't even believe the difference it's making here!  I never realized just how important timing really was, which in retrospect seems extremely foolish.  When I worked with my charcoal and drawing paper I had no way of keying ahead and plotting out extremes or anything, so I was forced to just sort of wing it.  That is fun and has its own creative advantages, but overall I really like being able to plan out the actions and then fill in the betweens.  So nice! 

I am going to polish this walk up and then hopefully do another one with some more personality to it.  Wow, after just a little bit of reading it feels like this all makes so much more sense to me now!  Like, the pieces are falling into place in my head and now I just can't wait to start experimenting with what I've learned.  There's still such a long way to go but this kind of thing is very encouraging :)

Polkadots and Scarves





Been going through a creative dry-spell these past weeks. Not so sure what to do about it though...
