13th Topic - March 2013

Since I'm striving to be a very good animator one day I chose a topic that's very important in achieving this goal, which is:

 Forced Drawing (Figure Drawing)

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, please check the works of the following artists:

Michael Mattesi
Glen Keane
Jin Kim

Pictures don't have to be colored (it's even better if they're not), what I think is more important is that you capture the weight, line of action, directional force and so on in a single drawing.

The figures you draw should be naked or semi-naked. Good poses to draw can be found here:

Good luck everybody and I hope this topic is chosen well and interests you the same as me.

PS: Animals are allowed to. Examples can be found on the same site I posted above.

Incredible Machine Iron Giant Edition

Hey fellow monkeys!

I was inspired by the movies Iron Giant and Castle in the Sky for this painting.
Tried my own version of it. Hope you like it.

Incredible Machine

Started really late on this one, by this i mean yesterday actually. Would've liked to develop it a bit further but hey a least i am able to post something. Had a lot of fun experimenting with this peace and learnt a lot of new stuff.

ps: sorry for the huge filesize. couldn't make it any smaller somehow.

The incredibly machine (robot animation)

My first contribution to the blog , I wanted to do something with a katana for a long time and thought this Rig would fit perfectly to the topic.
