Doodles

Just some funny doodles I created this morning. Made me create a new banner for my blogsite.

London gathering

Just came back from London where I met a bunch of new Animation Mentor students and some old friends to do a studio tour in London. I visited Nexus, Famestore, Uli Meyer and Double Negative. It was a blast. Next gathering will be the FMX in Germany.

Pet Alien

Just a funny sketch.

Crazy

One of the end images of the 2D cocktail animation I am working on.

Cocktail blocking

Made some changes to the end of the animation. I tried to add an extra cartoonfactor and pushed it some more at the end. After he takes a zip he totally freaks out. This exaggerated cartoony stuff is kinda new to me, so let me know if it reads well.


First rough blocking animation in Flipbook.

Cocktail animation planning.

First rough planning for the cocktail animation. It's time to try to use all the animation principles I learned at Animation Mentor, in a 2D animation instead of 3D. I also wanna try to experiment with a broad cartoony style animation with lots of texture in the animation. My previous assignments last year where very subtle. So this will be a nice change to get a grasp of the cartoony thingy.

Daily warm up sketches

Some warmup scribbles. I kinda like the cocktail waiter poses. Maybe the waiter got potential for a pantomime test animation. Who knows;-)

The happy hunter

Daily Sketch

Strange connections

First image out of the new "strange connection" series. Will do some Flipbook 2D animationtests with these guys soon to get some more practice doing 2D animation too.

Ratatouille sketches

Some sketches I created while watching the Ratatouille DVD.

Daily sketch

The daily morning routine. Little thumbs and scribbles.

First post

Thanks for visiting my blog. Here you can find some sketches, animations and other experiments that keep me busy during my journey to become a better animator. This is one of the sketches I do almost every morning to start the juices flowing and to get a better understanding of good poses.
