Life Drawing Assignments

Winsor McCay Inspired Artwork

 

I can't believe I forgot to post this.

A few months ago for Art History, we had to create an original piece of artwork inspired by Winsor McCay.  I really liked his political cartoons, so I guess that's how this image came to be.

Character Design Lineup

 

For our final Character Design project, we were given the task of designing costumes for our characters and putting them in a lineup.  I chose to do a rainy day theme for my lineup, and put everyone in cute raincoats and booties! This assignment was really relaxing, and it was great to go back and draw the old characters we designed.  Overall, this class was a lot of fun. I'm really going to miss it.

Caricature Practice!

Tomorrow we’re doing some fundraising for our class trip to Ottawa and I’ll be doing some caricatures, so I decided to do some practice!  I used my friends’ facebook pictures as reference, so I hope they don’t mind ^^;

I actually drew way more than these; these are just the ones I like best.

Conan Caricature! [Drawing Jam #3]

I was listening to the Pussycat Dolls and I suddenly got this urge to do our Caricature Drawing Jam.  So, here's Conan O'Brien with a slightly larger than normal forehead!

Creature Mix

Hi everyone!  I bet you're all sick of Character Design assignments by now, (I'm not!) but here's another!  Meet Cinnamon, a creature that's a mix of a wolverine and a Flying Fox.  She loves playing pranks on whoever comes near her lair, since everyone thinks she's big and scary, they assume she'll eat them EVERY TIME (it's the teeth).  In reality, she's actually frugivorous, so she only eats fruit!  I'm really excited to be animating a run cycle for her sometime soon!

Malaquaas the Elk

Here's another project for Character Design class!  Meet Malaquaas, the Wapiti.  Next semester we'll be doing a Four-Legged animal walk cycle, and this charmin' fellow will get to be my model!  I had a lot of fun designing him, too, especially with figuring out his expressions and poses.
