I just thought I would quickly share this draft doodle with all of you animation folks and fellow HSAD students out there! Some of the other animators (who are also going into the 3rd year) and I, have been discussing amongst each other lately how we are gonna decorate our animation room for next year / the “End of Year Show”. We definitely want to display more artwork and project work on the walls of our room, to make it feel less “officey” and into more of a creative environment. So, any character sheets / storyboards / sketches and other preliminary work will be appearing throughout the course of the year.
The suggestion was made to do little portraits of each other in each animators respective styles to put up – especially with the End of Year Show in mind. This will be a good indicator of our professional / casual friendships, as well as being something which may make the course a bit more inviting to any prospective students.
Below, is a draft for the portrait which I will hopefully be creating to put up on display. It shows the main character from my Final Major Project, as well as the other students in my year: Alex and Callum. This was doodled up in my F.M.P sketch and production book, which I will also be putting on display for public viewing during the End of Year Show. I’m gonna do a few variations of this, until I come up with one that will later become the final piece.
