Snuggle Time Update

So I recently learned that my film Snuggle Time will be screening at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival this October.

The film was also a Semi-Finalist at the Angelus Student Film Festival.

That's all for now. Hopefully after the weekend I'll have some more assignment drawings to upload.

Class Assignment #2

So as promised I am posting my assignments from the Silver Character Design class.

This week we had to create silhouettes of our design of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. We were supposed to concentrate on the shapes of the character. I'm making my Jekyll and Hyde pirates. With Jekyll being the Errol Flynn type of romanticized pirate and Hyde being the more real, dirty grotesque pirate.







And I discovered that with the self taught class I get star ratings from the teacher. So I got a 3 out of 5 stars on my first assignment which was a good. :)

Character Design Class

So I signed up for Stephen Silver's Character Design class at https://www.schoolism.com/.

I'm hoping to improve my drawing and design ability. I unfortunately couldn't afford the full class in which Stephen personally critiques your assignments. I'm just taking the self taught version.

Here's the first assignment. We had to create a character based on a description he gave us. I haven't turned it in yet as I'm debating continuing to work on it. But I also want to move forward in the lectures and this first design is supposed to represent where we are now before beginning the class and then we redesign the character at the end of the course so we see the improvement. At least I hope there's improvement by the end of the course.




I'll try to post my assignments as I do them, one so this blog gets updated and two so I can hopefully see a progression in skill.
