Extra Time Doodles

I have made a habit of this you know. But its good.
I am Practicing Character Animation and I spend most of the time on it, and whenever I need a break....I sit with my lovely Tablet and scribble around. These are the result I get some times.....Rough work, But I enjoy sketching them. The First one is a try for clouds and the second one is the proposition for modeling ( I had a reference in mind while making it. I loved it). Lets see if our Modeler would like to Model it.

 

Tell me.

The Ghost Lake

Mist and peace and some mystery lurking....
I am working on this ghost lake. Simple and stylistic, but this is just the first draft...I mean there is no ghost yet...he he he! Planning on having a boat with a ghost in it sailing to nowhere. . . . .lets see. Any suggestions on ideas are welcome.

Improvising

Nothin to tell.....I watched an Oscar winning short film, 'The old womann and the Pigeons' and was inspired by it.
That evening when I sat to sketch this style and this house just came up....glad it did, I liked this one..:-)

Flipbook

Nah! I am not writing about the software...though its one of the best tool I used.
Flipbook tempts me to draw and animate more and more...and its so easy. Here are some tests I did and the first ever complete walk cycle in 2d...haha! I did those before but this seems a bit complete...tell me how you like it.

Exploring

A great explorer like Bruno in 'The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas' inspires you without seeming like it but just doing it sometimes without knowing or even wanting not to know but still pursue what you feel is what I learnt from that beautiful film.
One thing definitely to do in life is to be the Greatest Explorer you can be....

Sketches

More random sketches....
I got Adobe Photoshop Elements with my Wacom and by just looking at the interface you want to sketch and paint something.

The Cubes

Here we go making films on our vacations!
Sumit was here in Kolhapur for vacations and we were planning on some fun business and then just decided out of the blue to make a Clay film, and we had our first shot at DIALOGUE animation in stop motion. This gag took 2 days to make and it was FUN. Sumit and Tanmay P made the set and lighting set up and I did the animation. Finally figured out, again by myself, how to SYNC lips in stop motion where you don't exactly get the Timeline like Maya or something. We thought of the whole series but I don't know...Hope when we'll be together again, we'll make the series....perhaps on vacations again....ha ha!

Bard

'Bard, a fighter, had won duels spectacularly in his days and was a glorious idol for many. But now forgotten and old, his life has nothing to offer him.... until......'
I was just doodling with my new Wacom when I met him. A great Accident. I created a character just like that and now he is alive in my mind. I have a story to tell and he is the protagonist.
I don't know what am I gonna do about it. I'll write the script or I will not. I hope I will. Let's see.

Painted

OK.....can't stop myself. Wacom Rocks!
Painted the previous sketch....fast.
took around 20 min. tell me.
