Greyjoy Design Sketch

 A sketch I made a few months ago as I was starting a new personal project. Here is what I had done for the storyboard.

Even though I didn't end up taking this too far, it proved to be the exact exercise I needed. I love animating, but I look forward to exploring more storyboarding in the future. 

Before I started the storyboard, I started with thumbnails. I explored compositions, story ideas, and possible camera movements. 

My way of learning any skill lies a lot in deconstruction. I like to test different extremes until I reach a balance that makes sense to me. For example, here I tried to prepare very rigidly. Whereas, for my next storyboard exercise, I will attempt to be very loose in my approach. This gives me a much better idea of what works and what doesn't. 

KURO: VisDev

 01/31/22: I'm taking a break from work right now. Since I'm between contracts, I'm having fun letting loose on some personal drawings and playing with color. Having not really done this in a couple of years, I'm realizing how much I missed doing this and I'm really enjoying this exploration.

Arcane: Jinx and Silco

01/30/22: I'm a bit late for this one. Watched Arcane as it was being released and I LOVED it. For me, it sets an example of what animation should be trying to do. P.S. I listened to the soundtrack as I made this. 

Batgirl; something's coming

01/28/22: I sat down to draw, I opened a blank canvas, and I saw an ad with a 3D Model of ''Batgirl''. I decided I would draw Batgirl. Simple as that!
