Update

Here is an update of my last shot.

From next week on we are going a step further and begin working on a multi-character dialogue.  My first time working with two characters in one scene. I think this will be very challenging and exciting. But first we have to search for a dialogue that will fit the requirements.

Refining

Last week I moved out of the blocking phase and began to refine the animation (blocking plus). Now, I'm waiting for the e-critique by my mentor this week.

Time flies!. Unbelievable that class 4 will be finished in 3 weeks.

Zoo

My colleagues and I went to the zoo some weeks ago. I really enjoy to sketch animals at the zoo. It is fun and relaxing apart from that they cannot hold still :) Here are some results.

Lemurs are cute and very tame until they sit on your sketchbook and begin to draw interest and doing one's business ... :D

blocking monologue

Animated monologue. Still blocked. It's always exciting to see how it looks like if you breathe life into a character and give it a voice.

Penciltestdepot

I stumbled upon this blog called Penciltestdepot. A very interesting and insightful resource to study pencil tests and a great delight to watch them.

Creatures

A while ago I did these creature paintings for one of our browsergames called "Glory Kings".

Portrait study

I saw some portraits of Churchill and got inspired. So I did a painting of him.

Portrait

I took a painting from Frans Hals as reference. Franz Hals was a dutch golden age painter. To read more about Franz Hals click here to go to wikipedia.

Well, my painting does not look like the original but it is only for practicing.

Bernini

Here is another attempt. Reference was a self-portrait of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. I had a lot of fun while painting.

Beachboy

Every now and then I participate on the forum CGtalk-Daily Speedpainting. Here is one of my attempts. I focused more on placing down the rough colors then on fine tuning.

I really suggest to take part on that thread if you're interested in digital painting. You always get very nice advices and critiques from nice people.
