Im still trying to understand better the step 2 to drawing a character. I'm getting alot better at understanding spheres and perspective. Still need alot of practice though.
When i saw this picture on John K's blog, I liked the man character and thought how would he look if turned to the front. I'm not 100% sure this is how he would look, I didnt want to make his nose going completly down so i still had it moved to the side a bit.
Working with anticipation and squash and stretch. Next im going to practice weight. Ive been learning alot lately, looking forward to using my new skills on the next cartoon.
Im happy to announce that a few of the viewers here have donated to us!! With the money that is donated it will go back into the site, for cartoons, music and marketing.
Lavalle has been making animated online cartoons since 2001 for his website flashcartoons.org. In 2009 Lavalle started learning animation training from Don Bluth. In 2011 he started the Traditional Animation website after seeing most animation sites were about all types of animation, not any specific to classical hand drawn animation. Lavalle also is the host of the online series, “The Traditional Animation Show”. Lavalle is currently the Vice President for Don Bluth Studios. Lavalle is also the administrator of Don Bluth University and lead the Dragon’s Lair: The Movie Indiegogo crowd-funding campaign. He later then followed the right connections to get Netflix to produce the Live-Action film.
My sites include: traditionalanimation.com, flashcartoons.org, kinjokids.com, and flashzombies. Please enjoy my blog with updates, previews, character designs, pencil tests and whatever else I post up :D
