BirdFood completed.

So...just got the word that a short film I did some animation work on for Brown Bag Studios in Dublin is complete and will premier at the Galway Film Festival this coming Saturday in Ireland.I will upload some pre-lit shots once the film is in the public domain and hopefully a video of the whole short will soon be available.Here is the poster:

On the Run

The beauty of drawing digitally is that I can redraw/restate my lines repeatedly until I get the sense of confidence, fluidity and speed I'm looking for.Take some of the more curved lines in the boy here.I had to undo and redo some of these lines several times until I managed to combine the proper sweep and angle with my under-drawing.
They more I draw though, the more natural and speedy these things become.Digital tools and layers make drawing this way a joy and a very creative and loose process.I much prefer this approach vs drawing on paper.Not to mention the fact that is so easy to re-work or re-use parts of the drawing later.

Facial Exploration
