captain o’ captain

Yesterday the gesture drawing model came in as a colonial captain. For anyone interested in being a character design or just getting into animation period, you definitely have to take a gesture drawing class. If not, you risk the chance of your drawings/designs of becoming lifeless and stiff. They no longer become characters and are more or less mannequins.

Anyways, the clothed gesture quick sketch class with Mark McDonnell at LAAFA is the same class that Mark teaches for Disney Television Animation. So yeah, Mark knows his stuff. The class so far has been a real learning experience. Most of the time, my drawings have been more miss than hit but I’m seeing improvement as the weeks progress. Well worth the growing pains. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, I highly recommend taking Mark’s class.
