I'm back! Yes I'm fully aware no one knew I was gone, or that I'm "here" even so to speak. Anyways, moving away to study in solitude means travelling is necessary if I wish to see the misses. Not that I mind but it usually means a week out at a time from study, a welcome rest mostly yet I am usually gagging to get straight back to it by the end of the week. Arriving back now at this point in the month means I am left with a little more than a week to start and complete a 11 second club entry. Now as much as I hate the idea of leaving a gap between what I want to be a full years worth if entries I have decided not to force it and concentrate on my drawing from now till the next competition starts.
For the remaining time I have chosen the following subjects:
- the human skeleton: understanding a realistic framework to my characters
- muscles in motion and giving the illusion of force
- general break down of the body parts and muscle groups.
It's clear I need to spend time studying each section till my own drawings match the standard of my reference drawings.
During this next week I will also be balancing my drawing studies with more animation exercises, yes more bouncy balls as well as some studying on lighting and rendering a scene competently in Maya. I still have loads to improve on, animation wise before I hit the top scores in the 11second club, but it wouldn't hurt to spend some time making my vids look pretty whilst I'm not going too heavy on the maya projects right now.
Going to be a busy week, can't wait!
Paul out
