Hi guys, this evening I was meeting friends on the shore and we snacked and talked a lot =)
While sitting there, I decided to draw my surrounding including the other people who where there to relax.

New animation

15.05.2013:

Here the first animation done for this milestone. Just realized I forgot mentioning it the day I announced the further work with Javier. I also do some extra animations for the main character. Here you can see the block animation, also there will be a kick and an uppercut one.

Afterwards I did some sketching and thought about the next animation. See yah!

Hi guys, today I tried to understand the material stone a little bit better. And I also tried new shading techniques thanks to a friend of mine. Really like how the last one came out :)

Hi guys, today was our second day of working together. We didn't accomplish that much, because there was a lot of planning involved. But it's getting along nicely. So here is a little ball painted from life. Afterwards I tried to paint a similar ball from imagination in 5-10 minutes or so. And then I got the task to paint three additional balls with specific lightning in 5 mins out of my imagination. I needed 10, but nevertheless I never have thought I could have done it that fast anyway. So that's great! :D
And I finally found the courage to draw people on the way home, sitting in the train. I got a lot of strange looks, but it was really fun and you simple draw without thinking because you want to get it down as fast as possible because you never know when they move. Great exercise!

Life drawing

25.02.2013:

Hi guys, I found the perfect start in a new week. Grab a good friend, meet in a cafe in the morning, sit down and draw what you see around you :) It was a lot of fun and I drew things I normally don't draw. Also I tried to remember how to construct shadows. But the approach isn't right. Have to do a little bit of research again :3

I tried to do some drawings from life, but my boyfriend was moving all the time, so here is the first appearance of FAT JO :D Maybe he learned from it and will hold still the next time :P The drawing in the bottom left of the first page looks much more like him...got only his lips wrong^^
