premise - Gesture sheet redesign and refind (Laura character)

premise - Gesture sheet redesign and refind (mum character)

After the create I decided to take on Phil's advice on making the gesture sheets and expression sheet more clean and clear of all the best way to start off is to redraw a reef up, in my mum character first this is what I was able to come up with.

PREMISE - REDEFINING/DETAILING NEW CONCEPT

I decided that I wanted to re-design the hospital room and train station and give them more of the Paddington them so as I looked into how the animators did Paddington I realised he uses traditional line art with fine liner pens so I decided to do a mixture of digital and traditional in order to get the balance I need for the art style for the environments of the animation.

Much like my other concept art here is the revamp of my mum 

Premise - redefining/detailing thumbnails and new concept (Laura character)

After researching some new and old art direction, I wanted to make my drawings look cleaner and to make my character concept more childlike and innocent.

summer plans

Over the summer I decided that there will be few things I will be doing and continuing, after my feedback yesterday sustaining premise by finalising characters and backgrounds. I will also remake a new animatic soon it is more abstract  in animation terms, I also need to think about modelling characters premise, but before I do, I must rethink the orthographs I have created get the proportions right from both sides. After these are approved and looking the best, it can be I feel that I will be ready in September. 

I will also be continuing jetpack Jones, for it is vital to learn the tutorials and techniques that are provided so I can create my own characters in Maya. Before I continue the model, I decided I would redo his face for it does not look like the drawing that has been provided and I feel that I should practice in space again and again until he looks like the character.

Some of most I have been given is to write things down that I imagine in my head, for example, the train station in my premise project I should write down what makes train station all the elements, materials and structures that are put in to make a station. This will help me, in the long run, to finally understand what I am drawing and how I wanted to look like for it worked for my storyboarding and I find it a real help to do it this way.

Finally, to help me understand perspectives concept arts and further my drawing skills in characters as well as texture making I signed up to a couple of online courses so that I may go over the videos that are provided in these courses I will be noting down everything that they are telling me so that I do not forget important details which have been doing in the past, I find possibly writing things down could help me remember the vital details in making animation rather than watching and listening and trying to do it myself but could cannot remember anything that has just been taught.

Toolkit - Submission

due to something coming up I have had to upload my submission early and do apologise that some things are not completely done.
