More Walks
The more I make, the better they get. Here are some more walks: a child skipping, and and old lady walking.

Child Skip
This is another walk test for my film. I animated my main character as a little girl.
I was looking on youtube to find various kinds of skips, but most of the live action skips were of children playing jump rope. What’s worse, most of the animated videos were variations of Preston Blair skips. The most original animated skips were done by CG animators!
I thought she came out better than my first walk. I wonder how the next one will turn out!

Dogs, Part 1
No pug in particular. Here is a dog character I made based on Rob Dress’s class assignment.
Bobo Bunny Rabs Takes a Spill
I gave this assignment to my third year animation students. A fat character walks in, and sits in a chair. How this happens is up to the animator.
Bobo was just rough keys, to show my students how to approach this assignment. I decided to finish him off. He was a lot of fun to animate!

Toon Boom Anyone?
I decided to try Toon Boom Animate. I didn’t buy it, which is why there a big friggin’ watermark on my video.
Animate is a little clunky, but easy to figure out. I really like the playback feature, which allows you to play your animation backwards and forwards. Their version of the onion skin is a little different than flash, and works well.
I’m going to try a few different girl walks to get ready for animating my film. This version is very controlled. I didn’t want her to be cartoony, hip, or “hot” looking. She should be attractive, but in a plain, wholesome way.
Anyways, I think she came out a little TOO plain! I’m going to channel Marilyn for the next walk.

November Figure Drawings
Getting there!
Quick stuff
weeeeeeee!
Garage Sale Doodles
I drew these my parents’ garage sale. I sat outside and helped peddle the ‘merch. This is what I saw across the street.
Bored To Death Intro
I’ve started watching HBO’s Bored To Death. The intro is nicely animated, with clever (but not overbearing) digital effects.
This short intro inspires me every week. Take a look!
More Big Cats
I decided to draw a cheetah next. I rushed this one a little, but I wanted to get it done before I left for Ottawa. I think I will try a lion next!
