i really liked this animation, it was fun and bright and amused me a lot, i think the representation of characters is amazing and i was really drawn in. the animation is in 3D but appears as 2d due to the luminosity on the characters and objects.

tyger

a 3d animation using live action objects and a mixture of 2d animations.  a live action tyger puppet is being moved around a city by two people represented in black shilouettes. throughout computer generated animation appears throughout in the 3d enviroment changing and morphing as the tyger travels in the city. i don't like this animation very much, i think it was more the loud noises that put me off then visual elements.

logorama

a 3d animation using logos as real objects of interaction with characters also created from logos. its smart and a good was of using existing images as a base idea for a full animation. its funny because of what we already think of the logos or know about them. its funny for us to see something we know being used in different means.

a weird video. i don't like it at all, its just weird and the noise is vile. the creatures with the changing face are also very creepy. the narritive is bizzare too, a cat head floating out of a volcano seeming to release walt disney.

an irritating animation. the sound in it makes me not want to watch it. the frames are eused and erased each time then drawn over giving it a messy hand drawn look to it. its kind of visually charming. however the audio practically makes it unwatchable.

inspiration

i really enjoy this type of illustration. this is promotional art for a card game called cardfight vanguard. what i like most about this is the use of color. there isn't much use of harsh blacks even though its a dark image, instead purples and blues are combined to create a shadow effect. plus in contrast to these dark colors, bright almost neon shades of blu, orange and purple are used to divert eyes all round the image. 

update

life drawing

On Tuesdays we now spend a whole day life dawning. last time we used a range of materials and techniques combined with different methods to create a selection of stylised life drawings. 

Ive done this type of drawing before, however it has been a while and it was nice to go back over on the topic.

also i have the convention where I'm an artist at this weekend, i will document how my artist table gets on there.
