WIP

Here is a shot in progress from my thesis short, Noir Mouse.

In this WIP I have started the blocking stage of animation for the woman character. Here is an example of transferring my video reference into gesture drawings before I go into maya and make the key poses.

More Gestures

Yes, rather dapper..

Gestures and timing

Gesture sketches of a baseball pitch shot to practice timing.

Gesture

Practicing those building blocks to get better at gestures.

Gesture drawings

I have plenty of gesture sketches to share. To start, here are some from this spring semester. Gesture drawing, usually 2-5 minute studies, helped me understand how to better pose characters in maya, and therefore communicate my animation more clearly. I'll be updating as go through the process of taking my references and sketching the key poses and later translating that into 3D.
