A few sketches from the most recent sketchbook: people who mill around outside coffee shops.

I made a short animated-comic sort of thing last night just for fun.

Also, here’s another cat:

some educational info about cats ( color coded: red– great reasons to not have a pet cat)

A skilled predator, the cat is known to hunt over 1,000 species for food. It can be trained to obey simple commands. Individual cats have also been known to learn on their own to manipulate simple mechanisms, such as doorknobs. Cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, including meowing, purring, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting.

Cats may be the most popular pet in the world, with over 600 million in homes all over the world.

A few sketches from tonight.  bonus points if you can work all the above images into a coherent story: and not a story about kung-fu animals– there are too many already.

Now it’s time to sleep… or have some delicious strawberry yogurt.  decisions.

anyways, thanks for visiting!

woah!

a sketch/color study for my final film at VFS

Things are gearing up to start final film production here.  It’s, of course, very exciting and also a bit frightening.  The most interesting part from my perspective, I think,  will be  seeing how I feel about my film idea at the end of 3 months.  I can’t imagine liking it at that point since it’s tough to like any single idea for that long… though, I still like the idea of running a lottery– there are exceptions, thankfully.

In the “hey check this out!” arena– you should check out this page, especially if you want to find a free version of openCanvas that allows you to collaborate over the Internet.  I haven’t tried out the online collaboration aspect yet, but if anyone wants to…  that would be amazing.  “Awesome” is another good word.

Also, I finally got around to reading another Harry Potter book.  It was good.  I would give a detailed opinion but over 3,598 people already beat me to it.  Anyways, there’s this:

• An album called Dark Was the Night
• voice drawing
• turn your handwriting into a font
• personal life update: scanning in a sketchbook and then sleep!

I ‘ve been thinking about purchasing Autodesk Sketchbook Pro recently for its awesome pencil tool, but I just created a pencil brush for Photoshop that seems to do the job pretty well.  At the moment it looks like I’ll save some money.

I’m not quite sure, but I think I based the brush on one by Dave Nagel from this website

Anyways, you can download the pencil brush here

Here are some sketches from my life-drawing class the past couple days.
( *warning* some nudity and also some kinda blurry photos )

So far term 3 is going really well. Tomorrow is our first Digital Techniques class and also our first Color Theory class– I hope to wow with my extensive knowledge of bringing out the orange paint-tube anytime I see blue

shoot, going to bed early isn’t going so well at the moment… maybe if I hurry fast enough it will be 11 pm again
