ANI 129b -- Seated Poses

Yes, so I am taking ANI 129b this semester which is advanced maya animation. One of our homework assignments was to pose our character in 5 different seated positions. It was the first time I ever posed "Eleven" and so I spent a lot of time on the first 2 poses. As time went on I got quicker and it became really fun! I am so happy I did this assignment. I learned a lot and it's only going to make me a better animator. I'm so psyched for this class!

Here are my poses I literally just finished in no particular order:

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.
