Life Drawing - Disco Sequential




Life Drawing - Disco Sequence

This sequence was created from several life drawings showing a woman dancing in a club, then fighting a skeleton. I have used fineliner pens to achieve the outlining and shading of each panel, focusing on a more linear hatching technique to represent shade.

Animation Storyboard



"Xen" Complete Storyboard

For the Introduction to Animation module, we had to compose a 15-25 panel storyboard that would preface a short animation we had to create.  I have created a 25-panel storyboard that deals with the issues of xenophobia, that I plan to make a stop-motion about.

Anthropomorphic and Zoomorphic Studies

Anthropomorphic and Zoomorphic

For this assignment, we were given the task to create three anthropomorphic or zoomorphic designs, using the observation skills we are using to create realistic animal drawings. The first study is a pencil crayon zoomorphic forest in the shape of a woodpecker, with leaves and twigs creating the individual pieces of the form - representing the animal's natural habitat. The second study is a fine-liner image inspired by political cartoons, with an underlying Victorian theme. It shows an owl as an upper-class aristocrat, standing above 'society' and ignoring a helpless mouse lower-class, who is clinging to the edge for dear life. The final study is a woodcut version of the zoomorphic woodpecker, a fitting medium for the creature.

Below are smaller studies I created when researching for the final studies above. These both show examples of the form and context behind these ideas.



Life Drawing - Splicing Sequential




Life Drawing - Splicing Sequence

This sequence was made from several life drawings showing a female doctor experimenting with splicing animals to create new species, accidentally creating a Great Horse Spirit. I have used fineliner pens to achieve the outlining and shading of each panel, focusing on a more linear hatching technique to represent shade.
