School's gone for summer, time to learn, practice and have fun drawing and animating! Because we all know practice makes perfect, my plan is pretty simple : Draw/paint and Animate everyday. I will post my progression on this blog for people to see and to record all I do on the same page.
Of course, learning needs some structure and I have found exercises for me to do. For the painting aspect of my learning, I will do movie studies of the movie The Hobbit. It is one of my favorite movies of all time and it also happens to be a masterpiece in color, lighting, compositiong, dwarves, orcs, dragons, trees, skies, everything. I might do some personnal painting between shots if I feel like painting something else than awesomness :).
The animation part is pretty simple. There is a cool list of 51 animation exercises every animators should master on Animator Island : http://www.animatorisland.com/51-great-animation-exercises-to-master/ From bouncing ball to walk cycles to putting pants on, this list covers every elements an animator should know(or learn in my case) and master. I will be doing every exercise in 3D with some of them in 2D when I feel like it (it's all about fun you know!).
I never had a Blog, so I guess I'm learning that too! Yay learning!
