More fountain pen sketch

Quick Inking demo and...mermaid?

Class inking demo/exercise,I have to admit that I might have had a little too much fun doing it? :)

Working it out

Folks, thank you for asking about the little school humor strip I've been doing. I'm trying to update as often as I could...here's a sneak peak of the newest one being completed. Also, some of you have questioned my "method", well, this is it, all done pre-scan except words, which I like to type in usually.  :]

Nerds rule!!

Walking & Observing

Subway is a fascinating place (for those of you who will be joining me in a few months, you will see--). I have been equally fascinated by the people on the subways and the whole "being part of this theory" thing. I really wish I had done more subway sketches, they are great exercises when figure drawing gets to blend sometimes!

I kid you not, this really happened.

Gesture Drawings

It's not hard to draw figures but one mustn't rush and skip the most important part of the training--gestural drawings. These are simple quick studies on human bodies with no details but indications of the line of action, as well as the proportion of the figure.

Have fun with The Design!

Animation folks, if you missed the last class, here's a summery of it.

*Don't forget to start you sketch book now!

For Students

Animation folks, when it comes to figures, think of them as simple forms--cylinder, sphere and squares. Don't worry about any details for now, those you will learn if you continue to see figures as training priority. Hands and feet will become easy if you know how bones and muscles function under the skin. Always ask questions!

Great week /:)

The first week of teaching was ecstatic! The students are great and willing to learn. Before entering into the world of competition and constant despair, they should have as much fun as possible while in art school to inspire growth both as person and as artist. Here is an example of student work and the revision process where I help organizing the panels based on their work, selecting camera angles and playing out the "great dramatist". 

Almost back!

I am teaching three courses this semester.  If you are a prospective student and would like to know more about Animation classes, please visit the Delaware College of Art and Design's website for a complete courses description and prerequisites.
