Pirates and Pastries

Considering I never actually put my completed film here, I figured I'd take a few minutes to do so for anyone who may stumble upon this blog...better late than never!

4th Year Film

My neglected blog hasn't any posts of my thesis film I've been creating this final 2013/2014 school year. Well, here's a poster for it!

The image below is also from my film, set in a playroom. I wanted kid-like drawings but decided not to try and recreate, from scratch, the manner in which a child would draw. So when I went home for Christmas break I looked through the array of notebooks and papers my mom kept throughout my younger years, and selected a few drawings of mine to throw in Photoshop and trace to get the final images I used for my film. This string of pictures isn't at all a focal point in my film, but I like that it's there and is essentially a piece of my past!

Portrait

I haven't drawn a single portrait in nearly a year and a half, and yet it's quite possibly my favorite thing to do when it comes to art, even taking anything animation related into consideration. This was fun to do, although it could be far better, but considering the lull between my last portrait and this one, I can't complain. I really should try and make a habit of doing more, drawing one portrait every 1.5 years isn't enough, especially if I want to actualy improve and not just remain around the same level.

I drew this from a photo by a photographer I stumbled upon through facebook (website: http://lolitka.35photo.ru/). She has some really endearing photography, and this kid was too cute not to draw! :)
