Couple of sketches I did last night, fighting my way past that damn artblock!

iPad sketchiness

2011-11-14T17:30:00.000+01:00

Been trying to sketch on the iPad the last couple of days. Not the easiest way of sketching, but weirdly enough I kinda like it.. Getting a bit better at it anyways, even though it takes forever to do a sketch since it's hard to see exactly where I draw with the bulky stylus tip.

Just a sketch I did in photoshop. Just for the sake of practicing using a tablet.

The Story of Animation

2011-08-26T14:44:00.000+02:00

Over the summer I've been working on a short called "The Story of Animation" that Tumblehead are making. I think I already linked to it on here, but I'll just post the blog again anyway: http://storyofanimation.blogspot.com/ We're still animating, so there's mostly concept art on there at the moment.

Next week school starts again and I'll be starting my third and last year! We're gonna start on our bachelor films, and we're gonna be pitching our ideas already on tuesday. Can't wait! I'm pitching with my good friend Sandra (who also worked on "The Story of Animaton"). Right now I'm just so nervous, excited, happy and scared all at the same time, and we'll know if we get chosen on thursday.

My summerrr

Time for an update! Since last week I've been working on an animation project at a company called Tumblehead. So far we've been doing character design and in a couple of weeks we'll start some animation. Can't wait! They made a really nice blog for it, and there's already some of last week's work on there. There's also a synopsis at the bottom of the page if you want to know what it's about. You can check it out here: http://storyofanimation.blogspot.com/. So much fun getting to work with such talented people :)

Just came over this on fb. I posted it to my friend after having played donkey kong at her house sometime in January, it was so much fun haha. Oh how I miss Norway and its wonderful people. (Borte bra men hjemme best!)

Midway Test

2011-02-11T23:51:00.000+01:00

So this is what I've been working with this week. We just had a 5 day midway test. This is my first lipsync in 3D, so bear with it :)

Sound clip is from "Get Smart"

No, you didn't.

2011-02-04T23:46:00.000+01:00

We just had a acting shot for two weeks, with Michael Berenstein. I really loved animating this, and I finally got a bit of a grip on my workflow in maya. It's been pretty hard up until now, put it's finally pulling together! So here's the shot:

Just a character I've been thinking a lot about recently. Not sure about his name, and I didn't quite catch his character, but thought it was a fun sketch!

Happy New Year!

2011-01-02T19:06:00.000+01:00

A bit late, but Happy New Year everyone! Let's all make the best of the upcoming year, shall we? :)

God jul!

Aaand of course I had to do a little christmas drawing. Merry Christmas, guys. Have an awesome holiday!

Happy christmas!

2010-12-18T16:12:00.001+01:00

A couple of weeks before christmas vacation, we animated on projects that the CGAs (the computer graphic artists class) for two weeks. The CGAs in my group got the task of remaking the style of "Clockwork Orange" and making a trailer of it. We were four CGAs and mainly four animators working on this, but since we lost a couple of scenes we also had some help from a couple of awesome people in our class. It was a challenging couple of weeks, but it was so much fun at the same time. They did a really good job on putting it all together, and this is the final result.

And just for the sake of some personal artwork.

.... and Happy Christmas everyone! Hope you'll have a good one~

Yay, it's finally winter in Denmark! Oh snow, how I missed you~

A drawing I did for a weekly challenge I started with a few friends of mine. Now I'm all ready for the upcoming HP movie :D

I spy...

Something I drew last week. Really like her character, might just have to take it to the next level soon and animate her.

Been pretty busy with 3D animation lately (which I will be posting up soon enough!), but I still have a bit of time to make a few sketches.

3D animation

2010-09-20T09:23:00.001+02:00

Since school started again we've been doing basic 3D animation. I'm really enjoying doing 3D animation. It's quite different from 2D animation, but it's been great so far. We've been at it for a few weeks now, so figured it was about time I posted something up here!

First year exam

2010-06-12T11:24:00.002+02:00

So the first year is already over! We just had a week of exam, and this is the result. We got a storyboard for it, and the task was simply what you see; he was supposed to take the last towards the chair, turn on the tv, sit down, get bitten by the dog and jump in the air because of that and then settle quickly and look back at the dog. Was a really good week for animation.

Bubbleboy

2010-05-12T20:50:00.000+02:00

A couple of sketches I drew yesterday. My sketchbook doesn't have the best paper for watercolors, but I think it worked out alright~ The lines on the left guy are a bit hard to see, might ink that one later.

Animations!

2010-04-05T22:13:00.000+02:00

Just wanted to put up a couple of animations! The five weeks before the easter break we had Fabian Erlinghauser from Cartoon Salloon here as our teacher, it was just the best. I'll really miss him as a teacher. We went from doing head turns and the take the first week to being able to lipsynch pretty well in the last two. We've been learning insanely quickly, and it's pretty much thanks to him and a bit of hard work. Thanks Fabs! The first animation here was just the task to make a take, with hogarth from The Iron Giant. Was a lot of fun to work with.

And the next animation was from the 4th week, my first lipsynch ever, and it was such a blast to do. Love character animation~

Inbetweening

2010-02-11T18:28:00.001+01:00

e've also tried doing some intbetweening. Not my best work, but again; it's good to have tried it! We started the week with getting to know Boris, though all we got was a simple model sheet. So those of us who hadn't seen "Balto" had quite a challenge, but it was a lot of fun getting to know this guy~

And here's for the inbetweening I did:

Clean-up week

2010-02-11T18:23:00.001+01:00

In the second week of January, we had clean-u with Lee Huxtable, really nice guy and teacher. My arm never hurted so much from just drawing though, but it was good to get a shot at it!

Sketchdump~

2010-02-02T12:21:00.000+01:00

We had to put together a few pages of sketches from the past semester, so I scanned the sketches I liked and compiled a few of them. Enjoy~

Polar bear hug

2010-01-10T23:31:00.001+01:00

This is for a weekly challenge I'm holding with my boyfriend. We started this week, and I came up with the topic: polarbear! Inspired by my own polar bear <3

Mermaid

2009-12-30T16:43:00.005+01:00

Made this as a christmas present. I've been trying to get better at watercoloring, still not very good at it but I'm getting there eventually! Mermaids <3

Zdenko-drawings!

2009-10-30T12:12:00.003+01:00

These are drawings we had to do every week, after we had Zdenko Santini the first time. Since I didn't really use my blog much until now, there'll just have to be a little artdump. Really enjoyed doing these~

And for the sake of sketches, I had to add another one. This was the first sketch I did of the lady with the message-in-a-bottle, a character I've been thinking about for a while, and finally I got her on paper!

Clown Hunters

2009-10-30T10:56:00.005+01:00

Suppose this poor abandoned blog deserves a little update now! There has been quite a few big changes. I was so lucky as to get into The Animation Workshop, here in Viborg, which I'm now attending! It's been a really good experience so far, it's an amazing school and so inspiring.

Last week we had drawing for animation, with Zdenko Santini. We did some concept sketches for a concept we came up with in class, called Clown Hunters. There were 4 main characters, which were being hunted by circuses (long story short!) And here's a few sketches I did.
