Learning from Preston Blair



I am going to try to use this as a path to submit my stuff and send it to ASSIFA, but I can't promise I will have the time to follow up all the way through.

    Ha! I had never heard of ASIFA until this year. Are you in Portland?

    It's kind of funny that it took me 15 years to know what ASIFA was, and here you are, in your first year, wanting to submit stuff to it. That's the difference the digital revolution has made in materials submissions. Knowledge is powar!

    (^ I think him having an avid teacher on his side is helping too.

    Don: Hey there! I haven't heard of ASIFA since about a year or so, and even aware I have not yet submitted anything...which is so lame! So hopefully you will bother more than myself and tell me about it.

    Brian: Rattatui sure.."anyone can animate"

    you might also find this resource helpful: http://www.karmatoons.com/drawing/drawing.htm

    I found out for myself, that drawing (heh - no pun intended, but anyhow...) from different sources can be very confusing - or the best way to go; depending on the quality of the sources. And as always good balance is more than half of the game. Not getting stuck with too many books but instead focusing on one or two !

    All the best, man. You rock !

    m_) Yes Michael, Thanks for that Link. I've seen it before and it is a great source actually.

    And I agree with you about sources. THEY MUST be the right ones...or they can take you anywhere but ..home.

    Thanks for stopping by.

Puppetix - Poses

m_) I keep studying Puppetix as a character and this time I focused mainly on his poses applying not just the expressions in his head but the entire composition. This is so far what I have gotten by tracing different sketches I have done over time. m_) Basically a big compilation to keep in order.

Heads - Complex/Skeleton

Advanced Animation By Preston Blair (pg.2) Okay, so here we are again, Folks!. This time we can finally turn to the NEXT page. Page 2, which is focused mainly in a higher level construction due to the combination of spheres and rounded shapes of similar sorts. Above is my attempt focusing in skeleton structure ONLY. I recommend you to do so. Do not just draw all at once. Having a well planned skeleton you will have, then, the ability to draw them FASTER and more accurate as well. And these are not the previous skeletons! Instead NEW drawings in order to reach more quality.
