Updates and present from Glen Keane

I've been working a lot on my 2D II animation stuff and working on my sister-in-law's wedding stuff.

I'm working on the wedding program tonight since the wedding is in...oh, a few days. SO! with that is a lot of pressure to get my roughs done as well. The agreed to plan is to get half of my roughs done by Thursday...so tomorrow. Not sure how well that's gonna go, but hey, that's what being an animator is all about; lots of work on a tight schedule.

Helping me is the great Glen Keane. No, he's not helping me personally, but his youtube videos are a treat when trying to just get back to the basics. I tend to over think things and it's a huge flaw of mine as it prevents me from getting any actual work done, or worse getting tons of work done, but no progress. So! Glen Keane to the rescue!

He's here to rescue you too. :)

Helena Bonham Carter studies

Studies of Helena Bonham Carter for a class. We're working on a project where caricatures are involved so I'm practicing painting the real thing to find out what her face is actually shaped like. That will in turn help me which parts to accentuate and play down.

My first few attempts at her. I'll be trying to capture her specifically from Fight Club.

Crown for Banner

I'm making a banner for my sister-in-law's wedding so I thought I'd post since it's extremely late, and I'm finally done! The only thing that I might change are the emeralds to be sapphires since her main color is a navy blue.

This was done in illustrator since it can be scaled without having any quality issues. This probably took me, roughly 3 hours.

Jasmine finished!

My finished piece for my sister-in-law. Now all I have to do is print and frame it! Yay!!!

Update!

Jasmine Update

Another update. Looking a lot better. Will still need to fix a few things, but overall I'm really liking how she's turning out.

I still need to add a scarf and a background. Still not sure about the scarf, but the background will be the next part.

Another update on Jasmine

Another update. :D
