May Sketchbook Pages, Frog Types, Kid Design

Super quick sketches drawn using a brush pen. I had the idea to use a random word generator to practice making quick yet clear drawings. Using the generator keeps things quick because I'm not slowed down by having to think of what to draw next. I also get the chance to practice thinking on my toes. I got the idea from games like Drawful, Pictionary and Sketch from Game & Wario, that give you a random prompt and a short amount of time to visually depict it.




I'm working on making several different "enemies" based off of different types of frogs.


My design trials for the daughter from my 2D dialogue animation.

Rough Anims and Animal Characters

          A few things I was working on in April. I was doing more animating and story boarding in April than sketchbook sketches.

A quick straight ahead animation of a DK style fighting move.




Another quick animation of a creepy look one of my preschool students gave me. I looked across the cafeteria table to check on him and he was trying to give me a shy, cute smile that ended up looking villainous.

Boards/Animatic

Here is another project I am planning on animating. It is a snippet of a song called "Case Closed" from an Off-Broadway called Zombie Prom. The whole song would take too long to animate so for now I'm only working on my favorite part.

These are the first rough storyboards I drew.




I revised some of the staging in Photoshop then made a rough animatic to match the lines to the panels.
