The $100,000 dollar animation drawing course - Lesson 7

The $100,000 dollar animation drawing course - lesson 6

Ok, this is the big mouth post! focusing mainly on the head because it is a strange shape, not all a circle and no way in hell is it a square. Essentially it is a post on overlapping which is when one item falls over another creating the illusion that it one item falls over another. In my copies I tried to illustrate it and I'll try to explain it too in this my native language , Lingua Franca to the world, English. Just as soon as my internet comes back up. Get up you traitor!!

The entire lesson in basic is overlapping shapes so that they look like they cover each other even though they really don't.

1) The two-part illustration explains the logic of overlapping. In example A, the complete form (1) is the forward and near one; the partial form (2) is behind and farther away. In example B, we see an array of forms as each from ovelaps the other- starting with a complete form (1) as the first - the interposing effect produces an illusion of depth -in- space sequence; the overlapping form can actually be given numerical positions (1,2,3,4, etc.) in spactial recession.

(2) Here is an illustration of the opposite of the preceding proposition.In this case, all the forms in the group are shown complete. None overlap. Note how each form seems to hold to the front of the pictur plane, and not one can be felt to recede into depth.

I can tell you all the receding and the forward forms but I can let you find them, it's easier that way.

The $100,000 dollar animation Drawing Course - Lesson 5

Today I'm feeling lazy, unenthusiastic, bored, left out, gloomy, and I want to run more often to lose some weight and tone down muscles. I hate having this weird kinda wrestler's chest were it looks like your starting to get steroid boobs, but that's unimportant. Here's Lines of Action and Silhouettes done in an understanding, but still relatively torpid manner.

I guess the only real need for this lesson is to show that I get it huh? Here goes.I'm not 100% as to whether this illustrates my point but but do know that I get the idea. I'm gonna try and shoot straight through everything so I can get into studying my favorite artists. I may start with either Roy Raymonde or Erich Sokol. Or maybe Erich would be best to start off with I want to be able to paint like him by the end of the school year I have to learn realistic anatomy too, if I want to beat this challenge ahead of me. I gotta win at that art fair, sorry Nico, the trade is gonna take a while, but rust me, it'll be all the better for it.

The $100,000 Dollar Animation Drawing Course - Lesson 4

I don't have much time here and internet is shot at my house but I do have some good stuff today. I'll just post it real quick, and Nico my own drawings will be at the bottom.

My favorite drawing so far, this makes me want to study a lot of Milt Gross

The $100,000 Dollar Animation Drawing Course - Lesson 3

OK! I'm finally redoing a few from the last two posts. There were a lot to handle in a short week so I kinda punked out and did like half, but I been doin' it for a while so I was pretty fine. I guess I can get more in depth with this one, though I'm kinda upset about it. I did a couple too well, so it's difficult to prove that over the computer but I should be good and ake more fixable mistakes later on.

I'll start with a bag full of crow.

This is the jerkI got the part notes correct but since they weren't aligned right and I thought they were way off.
But enough gab on him, let's talk about Wolfie.
For him I got around to making more of a noticable change. You'll see!These weren't aligned perfect either but I could notice more of a difference on them.
Here ya goo! Now's Droopy dog!The first time I tried Droopy, I got good but the jaw was HUGE! so it looked really bad.
But I guess it's supposed to be huge, I guess I just wanted to get it to being closer.I should mention that by now I would hope you've realised that these are new drawings so that I didn't make it too easy on myself and you, and that in real life I talk a whole lot more country. but apparently to New Yorkies I sound normal. Ish I hope.Almost done! Next is Obama and the flying goat!

The goat has always been hell! too many shapes and curves and what not to keep track of.Honestly when checking for mistakes, I kinda just wanted to get it done... I hope to master him someday, but I'd have to draw him a lot which I would need more time and more paper for.

I have too much time as is, I'm father time, but paper is low, and almost as illusive as a holy grail. "A" holy grail, I mean there's got to be more than one in different cultures, and I can't find one that the old man in the cave won't yell at me for taking.

Also a hilarious Obama face!
Finally, My buddy found me this amazing video! I love the instumental, especially since they used real sets in addition to the computer instead of just Fruity loops, it's Flying Lotus. If you don't like the song the game makes them interchangeble, if you want you could play it on a Beatles' song and the track would still conform to the beat.

The $100,000 Dollar Animation Drawing Course - Lesson 2

My drawings for lesson 2 I'm also collecting the ones I don't like from here to redo in lesson three.
Of course, I'll show off the ones I like more first, I actually ad this post set up yesterday but my internet wasn't working.


And then the ones that tick me a bit. I'll fix them on my next post and I might also post some of the stuff I've been drawing until now.
