Tarzan

This is my Tarzan. I did a very rough sketch in paper, and then refined it in photoshop 'til I've got this: (click on the image to enlarge)
Well, I don't know if I'll continue to work on it. I already learned a lot with this one. Maybe I'll add a background or something... I'm also doing a "speed racer" painting, but I'll post that later when I get closer to finish it. Thanks everyone! Cheers!

Photoshop again!

Well, I know this is an animation blog... but, in my last non-animated post, I said that I would try something of my own. So, I took some inspiration from Bryan Ballinger and did this paint in photoshop from my own head. The character it's quite funny but this is due to Ballinger's great talent for funny drawings! It's such a great reference! Check his site out and you'll see!

Hammer on

This was a little exercise I did to study weight in animation. I had a little problem with the rig so I didn´t quite finished it like I wanted to... But, it's kinda OK so I thought I should post!

Thanks!

Whooaaaaaleee


This is Wall-e! From Pixar's upcoming movie. I decided to try something more like a painting with the tablet. So I took an image from a poster of the movie and made a "painted" version of it in photoshop. I did not put one over the other to trace it. I just looked at the original while painting. But since I don't have any color training, I picked the colors from the original. Next time I will try something of my own! Thanks!

Drawing

I bought a little wacom tablet (bamboo) a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to test it by making some drawing. So I did this in photoshop. It´s Remy from Ratatouille!

Bouncing ball with tail.

An animation I did a while ago (2007 I think) to study some animation principles. Since I never posted it anywhere, I´m posting it here now! =). It´s just a bouncing ball, with a tail, jumping through an obstacle.
