Titmouse 5 Second Day 2011

Meet Hornsby!  It was my first 5 second day at Titmouse and I still can’t believe I was able to have one done in time.  The last time I really animated anything was the fall of 2008.  It was very nerve wracking as 5 second day approached as I had no idea of what to do.  I came into the studio with no idea in sight and opened up photoshop to get some inspiration.  Luckily I designed Hornsby and just found a music track to animate him to. I finished animation on Monday(5 second day) and spent Tuesday after hours cleaning up the animation and adding color. I spent a little bit of Wednesday doing a quick composite job for the shadows thanks to my buddies Parker and Mike.

I’ve meaning to get back into animating stuff, so thankfully, 5 Second Day helped get that ball rolling.  Let me know what you guys think.  Also, check out what the other Titmice did for 5 Second Day on the titblog. http://titbloginc.blogspot.com

Cheers!

Titmouse 5 Second Day Sneak Peek

Yesterday was Titmouse’s Annual 5 Second Day.  It’s a day where the studio is closed so everyone can w0rk on a 5 second animation.   Since we screen our animation on Friday, I thought I’d share the design for my 5 second day piece.  I’ll post the animation after Friday.  Until then, cheers!

The sad truth about drawing is that if you don’t use it, you lose it.  I found myself trying to remember how to draw during a figure drawing session last Thursday.  Although a lot of struggling was involved, it’s always refreshing when you get to draw for your own enjoyment.  5 min poses with brush pen and color pencil.

Dr Sketchy’s at Titmouse

So a few weeks ago, Dr Sketchy’s hosted one their figure drawing workshops at the studio I work at.  It’s always refreshing when you get to draw something unrelated to the show or project you’re working on.  It has been such a long while since I drew with a live model as there was quite a bit of struggling during the 3 hour session.  The drawings were done in marker and brush pen.  To see some drawings by my fellow titmice, check out our group blog  @ http://titbloginc.blogspot.com.
