Learn to Learn HOW - Part 2

The Beauty of KNOWING what you ARE ... doing!
SPHERE JOURNEY



Once you have visualized a sphere well enough, you will not mind trying any other dimension, such as the typical egg shape. This one is key to know because is the most basic shape to apply variation of width and height, unlike the sphere is all the same!
My attempts are not THE BEST, and I am not any kind of mathematician mind out there to make you feel inferior. Indeed, being the expert I am NOT, should encourage you MORE to practice just LIKE I DID.

Eventually you will find comfortable with spheres, eggs, and that would be enough challenging to keep you busy for a while.





Next step is putting some life in that abstract figure, but well that just covers a new part. I am trying to keep it easy and slow in parts so there is not too much information.

Think this: "While going SLOW it will make you THINK FASTER"

    do I spot the basic 'line of action' as the axis among all other parts are placed on the faces ?

    A beautiful exercise comes into my mind, drawn (no pun inteded) from the sketches: combining the sphere shape with the dottet and full lines to define the axis and this way giving the illusion that the sphere is somehow rolling. Or that another sphere grows from one sphere by shrinking or growing... whole lotta fun rolling along - thanks for the impulse !

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.
