Practicing with Animation

Practicing my skills so that I could or might be ready for a career in the Animation studios. I will be studying 2D animation this year, so I hope this practice can help me in class. I have just been drawing key frames on my paper, I am thinking of doing some animation with Pencil that I just downloaded, so I can get to making my Miiku move ^^.

Pastel Work - My Mum

Just a little sketch I drew of my mum last night, it's not measured so I'm sure it's not as accurate as I could make it but I am happy with this one. I couldn't finish it because it was just a short sketch.

Still Life - Mangoes and Plums

Pretty self explanatory, I was not being very pleased with my recent cartooning sketchs and so I decided to draw some more real things.
I quite like this, I forgot my pastels today so I couldn't make it colour. I would have liked to make it colour but it works quite well as black and white.

My characters - More Digital

I'm not sure on the anatomy, it's harder for me to see when drawing straight onto the computer than when I have my copy on paper. I think the anatomy is ok, but there are places where I think I need more work on.
I am quite happy with this nonetheless, it had been a long time since I drew Amara lol, so I felt happy with that :). Miiku's face is a lot different because the Siamese nose is a lot closer to the face, and Amara has a much wider jaw.
I still need more practice on getting my Miiku's hair right, it is hard for me to draw dead straight hair :P. Amaras hair in contrast is quite fun, because it is just made up of straight lines ^^.

Another ATC - More Markers

It's a little bit dark, haven't tried to install my scanner since I put Windows 7 on because it didn't work with Vista but I will try to see if my scanner will work with 7. I am quite happy with this piece.
It is a Christmas drawing/card for my friend, it's her character with my style of drawing and colouring. I am pleased with my marker work, although the marker still bled even with the thicker paper of the cards.
