More Squash and Stretch + Facial Expressions

Squash and Stretch on the Head

I am finding that I have to do warm-ups, like in figure drawing or running track. My first bunch of drawings at the begining of a session are really bad, then they get better as I loose myself in the drawing.

The Beans will eat you!

Taking lessons from John K and Preston Blair

Head construction. Yeah, that looks good. But I wasn't drawing that well a few hours ago. I think I learned the concept of the Head Construction spread quite well, but it took a couple of sheets of paper (and I should probably do more) to grasp what was really going on. The main points to hammer into your head are perspective, solid construction and placement of features. My heads were getting good and solid and tight by the time in stopped about half an hour ago. You learn more stuff the more you do it. Doing it is definetly better than reading about it.

Animation Experiment 3: Foghorn Leghorn

The head crest and eye are not drawn well in the first frame.

My second animation

I used a clamp on light with a cfl bulb shining up under a piece of plexiglass with my paper on it. It was both very exciting and hard on the eyes. It may be worth it to get a light box since an animation disk would cost too much. It loops. There is a pause at the end.
