BFA Summer Sketchbook 2012

         Yes, so, i got into the program last spring semester and had to fill up a summer sketchbook. This is such a late post, but I wanted to show some of the sketches I had done. 

        At first i was really scared about doing the sketchbook because I hadn't been a sketchbook person in the past. I didn't carry one around or sketch in one when i was bored... I know so bad! Anyways, but after doing this assignment, I dont know why i didn't make it more of a priority. Because seriously, sketching everyday, whenever you can is SO SO SO important. If you want to become an animator or illustrator, you REALLY need to draw all day er day.

        I believe it was Walt Stanchfield who said "don't let your lack of drawing skills impede your work". DRAW DRAW DRAW.

       I learned so much from this assignment, and I am now a sketchbook person. Albiet, a shy one who will cower when asked to show their sketches... but STILL i am a sketchbook person! Now back to the point. Here are a few pages of my summer sketchbook. 

        I am so proud of this sketchbook because it was my baby for the whole summer. I took it on so many adventures so each sketch has a story behind them. SKETCH-BOOKING FTW! =)

Personality Walk

Based on a true story when my mom forced me to go onto Space Mountain when I was 7. Let me note: I was deathly afraid of roller coasters... I still kinda am.

ANI 114 Walk Cycle

The First assignment from 114, a walk cycle. No rules, no regulations, just get it done...

Honestly i wanted to spend way more time on it but work is really impeding my time to work on projects. Kind of annoying, but at least I have money to buy art supplies and more reams of animation paper! YAY

Portfolio Results!

PASSED!

now onto the sketchbook games in which I volunteer as tribute. May the odds be ever in my favor.

lolol, Hunger Games.... THE BOOK not the movie =)

Portfolio submitted- now i wait

So.... i submitted my portfolio last week and i'm still really nervous. oh, btw, The one i posted earlier was not my final pass... but yea. Anyways, next week i'll probably learn my fate. I just found out that the professors have already started looking through all 90-ish submissions (SO MANY). makes me nervous and second guess myself like.... oh shoot! did i do this? or this? or this?

NERVOUS, but i cant do anything about it. it's in God's hands now
