Rebecca Kimmel's Anatomy Review: Gesture
June 28th, 2005It appears that this thread on CGTalk will be well worth following, especially if you're like me and really need to work on your drawing skills. It's an ongoing series so I'll post the links to the new threads as they are created.
Here's to you, Mrs. Kelly...
June 26th, 2005Rumor has it that Shawn's mom religiously reads all of the mentee's blogs. In case this is true, Shawn's mom, this one's for you! Thanks for visiting!

Class 2: Week 1
June 24th, 2005This week marks the start of the second quarter of AM, and ugh, we definitely took it up a notch. Our class this week was on advanced overlapping action. Last quarter I initially struggled with the overlapping action assignment quite a bit, and so worked on it a lot to try to get it down, which I thought I did. Now working on this assignment, I'm not so sure...
The assignment this week was to block out a personality walk with spine and head overlap using the new character, No-Arm Stewie.
Here is my first blocking pass.
I really tried to work on reversals in the spine, but I am not sure when to put in the bulk of the overlap between the spine and head, during the blocking stage or later. I'll make changes to the blocking after receiving feedback from my mentor so check back for updates.
Mentor #2
June 19th, 2005Now presenting Mr. Mark Behm, my mentor for the second quarter of AM.
He doesn't really look anything like that, but maybe he is in the witness protection program and they gave him a new face. That would explain why he is now sporting a beard; it's to hide the scars...
Regardless, he's an animator that now works at DNA. Before that he worked on "Robots" at Blue Sky, "321: Penguins" at Big Idea, and before animation worked as an illustrator. You can check out his supa-cool work here.
Class 1: Week 12
June 17th, 2005This being our last week of the first class, we didn't have any homework, and thus I have no pretty pictures to post for your viewing pleasure. But do not fear... in celebration of the start of the 2nd Class of AM next week, I have two 1600x1200 wallpapers created by Stu Jones for your downloading pleasure!
Don't forget to visit Stu, and best of luck to all who are either starting or returning to AM!
