Alex

Well here it is, the last image of 2006.
It's Alex of course. I have mastered the art of creating clean images in Photoshop (insert applause here).

Next year promises even great things, with more screenings, more images, and more contests.

Happy Holidays!

Great Results

Here are two drawings, one of Jeanine, the other of Tabby, that I did after practicing Preston's techniques. I like how the drawings are more expressive and looser than my earlier work.

Preston Blair Practice Drawings

The Art of Preston Blair

An excellent book that I highly recommend, Cartoon Animation by Preston Blair is a MUST for any aspiring animator, yours truly included.
I am currently on page 112 and I can tell that my drawing skills have improved as a result of following Mr. Blair's examples.

Here are a few exercises I've been working on . Enjoy!

Manga

I love manga style and am teaching myself how to be a better manga artist, in addition to being a better all around animator and illustrator.
My goal is to fuse my love for American and Japanese style together to create a new hybrid of art.

These are sketches of some of my favorite characters from Yukiru Sugisaki's
D.N.Angel.

I'm baaacckkk....

Yes dear readers after months of agony of not having a computer that worked, then borrowing the roommate's computer, then moving, then having to deal with Time Warner (spawn of Hades- baw!) I have returned triumphant and ready to once again continue the blog that you so know and love.

What to expect in the future?

Well, right now is downtime in the animation scene - mainly lots of Christmas parties, always fun. When screenings commence once more in the spring yours truly will be there to give you the news.

I will be taking a new life drawing class and honing my animation skills, so there will be plenty of
art posts.

As for "Alex Pariah," the comic is on hiatus until I work out the script. It may come back in new form, or be replaced by something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT, only time will tell.

And as always, when I hear of contests you will be the first to know.

Cheers,

Angela
