Maquette and Lighting

I really like to keep this blog very character-related, so my studies in other areas have delayed my chances to update this (and make sure I keep up on practice). 

I reposed a character I made in a previous post for a maquette. It's nice how much my maquette teacher is pushing me to display the emotion of a scene, it's really helping my acting abilities. This piece is still a WIP for me, at least more so than every other piece.

I'm also in a lighting class that I'm going to use to try to develop this small animated short I've been kicking around. I plan on getting to a lot of the animation finsihed in the summer. Here's a small WIP thumbnail.

Character practice over Winter break

Here's a few projects and sketches I attempted over break. If a picture says "CHoW" on it, it just means I submitted it to this forum that does a "character of the week" contest every week here.

Head Sketches

Just for reference, I did the more realistic heads after watching a gnomon video on male heads inspired me to try some, it really helped capture the more realistic side of my imagination.
