TDA - Week 15

Even though it's the 16th week now, here are some things from the previous week that I was too lazy to scan before. The first is a long study (i think 5 hrs) and the others are 15 min studies.

TDA - Week 14

First I have a storyboard excercise we did with some friends, to prepare for the exams for the Bachelor in Character Animation here in Viborg. We picked two words, baseball bat and throwing away, and we had to come up with a short story.

I hope it's readable. Enjoy!





And the more boring stuff here. A sewing machine that reminds me of my granny, but I couldn't get to finish it. Also a decent croquis from Thursday's session. Pfff, been a long time since I last drew croquis...
I also have one more long study of an electric screwing driver, but due to it's size I couldn't get to scan it properly. I'll give it one more try and hope it works, because it went out pretty nicely I think!

TDA - Week 13

Last and this week we have a guest teacher, Jeppe, how teaches construction with basic shapes. This probably we should have done at the start. Anyway, it's always good to review basic techniques.

On Thursday I flew to Paris, and on Friday i took the exams for Gobelins, l'ecole de l'image, for the 3 year animation programme "Concepteur et réalisateur de films d'animation". There were some 600 participants...Insane!!!
To be honest, I don't think I have a lot of chances to get in, and I will need a miracle to get to the interview... There is a lot of talent waiting to get in the school. I still have a lot to learn, but it was nevertheless a great experience!!
Now I can understand why it is considered one of the best animation schools in the world.

Anyway, here are some construction sketches from last week. The first one is a really awesome blue old car, which is not the best construction wise, and i'm looking forward to sketch it again, more detailed!:

Easter eggs

TDA - Week 12

This week we are doing two hours of croquis and another 3 hours long study with the same model.

*Thursday update*

This week's long study:



It's a pity because we are going to have another last 3 hours on it tomorrow, but i won't be there because i'm flying back in Greece tomorrow morning

And today's croquis also:



Here are some croquis from Monday and Tuesday. Will updating probably during the whole week.

TDA - Week 11

And now that i'm a full time in classical drawing again, this is one full body long study that we did this week.
Our male model is leaving, so we are going to have a female model next week.



Today i also sent my portfolio at Gobelins, but I'm missing some official documents, so let's see if my application gets accepted...

Animation schools portfolio!

Oh yes, I finished with my portfolio. And I present it to you!! Wish me luck guys and gals! :D :

TDA - Week 9 - Portfolio week 2

*Update Sunday*

Some croquis from Thursday that i scanned today. The first two were made with charcoal and went crazy again! Actually, i kinda like the outcome, and i'm thinking of adding color to them at some point. The rest were made with a pen:








Some sh*t i've been doing this week for my portfolio:
