Boop!

work sketches, film sketches and some rough things! Toronto wind makes my hair messy.

new film character

heres a really rough and quick painting of my opera film character, costuming is going to be fun haha....

Things I've been doing

So I finished up my internship at House of Cool a few weeks ago :) It was amazing! for our last day they treated us to lunch at TIFF and our mentors Sarah, Jason and Rodrigo bought us moleskin story boarding sketchbooks! (I've use that sketchbook and i dont think i can go back to my 7 dollar ones!)Words cant describe how much I love that place :) Theres a picture of me and Perin Jumping on the boss's couch while he was away :) (totally stole it off of the house of cool blog!) Thanks to every one there, I had a wonderful time! They also called us back to do a little one week job so thats exciting! my first job in feature animation :)

Heres a really rough sculpt i did of my NEW film character! I changed my idea again but for the last time. Its about an opera singer...and thats all you need to know. for now. :)

also, i'll have a massive post and a film blog to share in about 20 days! I'm just working on a pitch package to get a spot in the stop motion studio at school right now, so I've been busy! Hopefully I'll get the spot!

be back soon! and sorry that this post has so many smiles and exclamation points i'm just excited haha

The Good, The Bad and the Sketchy

Its time to learn to not be afraid of people seeing my "bad" drawings. Thats the lesson i've been learning at my internship! so heres a bunch of drawings (some super rough, some more refined) of my film character! I'm trying to figure out what kind of girl she is, is she girly? is she a tomboy? i'm not sure, but i'm going to keep sketching stuff out and thinking and possibly hanging around my little cousin :)

Diddle Dee Dum

oh boy! Its time for some replacement puppet faces!

top image is something (from a few weeks ago) i doodled using a cintiq for the first time at work (we have a TON at school i just didint like it at first!) but now that i've adjusted to a cintiq..i need to buy one for myself!! I can never go back to my tablet!

the others drawings are part of a possible design for a puppet that (hopefully!!) will have replacement faces :)  i've still got a ton of drawing to do before i attempt that but i'm super excited!!! :D I'll post links to some amazing student film blogs that have quick tutorials on how to do this once i try it out! :)

Aliens vs The Babysitter

Haha dont ask me about the title.. I had this idea, and i'm really not sure what i'm going to do with it... I guess it was just one of those heat stroke induced sort of ideas! we'll see how I feel about this in the next couple of days :)

Perhaps

I've been exploring designs for my fourth year film and I showed a bunch of these to Colin Jack and got some really great advice! I have to keep drawing and trying new stuff with these guys

Being around such amazingly talented and cool people every day is awesome! I've been super motivated to work really hard everyday, even though its really tiring getting very little sleep some days but i'm having a blast :)
