Partington’s Proficiency

Ballerina.  Unfinished.  It’s been sitting on my desktop for about a month now.  Enjoy.

Reference from a fifties Vogue magazine.  It kind of gives off this forties German feel.  Enjoy.

Emma Watson has been the face of Burberry during their last two campaigns and I’m loving every outfit she wears wherever she goes.  This was a quick sketch.  Enjoy.

Really don’t care for Gaga’s music but I adore her sense of fashion.  I haven’t sketched in three months so here goes nothing.  Enjoy.

Based off a photo of Ms. Jackson.  I’m drawing again!  Enjoy.

This is the first sketch I’ve done for myself in four months.  I was looking through the newest issue of Vogue (US) and gave it a go.  Anywho, school’s finished in four weeks and that’s more than exciting.  Enjoy.

I drew this in December and never got around to posting it.  This is for all my Twilight nerd friends (you know who you are haha).  Enjoy.

First semester of second year is finished!  Wow, I can’t believe how fast it went.  I have a huge amount of work from the semester that I want to post over the holiday.  Although, I’d like to catch up on some sleep first.

In character design, we had a semester-long sketchbook project that called for caricatured people from everyday life.  Below are a few sketches I did in my new sketchbook.  I’m slowly starting to work bigger, I find my drawings have become more successful because of this.  The new sketchbook is 11″ x 14″.  Aside from the ‘book, I’ve very recently started working with marker, which I only dabbled in during first year fundies, but gave up almost immediately.  I couldn’t grasp the medium, but now I’m dabbling once again; hoping something good comes from it.  The caricatures all have a little marker incorporated into them.  I’d never drawn any caricatures until this semester, so it’s still pretty new to me.  Hoping to improve greatly in the next couple years.  Merry Christmas and enjoy!

After many story beats, mountains of rough boards, and a few changes, my leica reel for storyboarding is finally finished.  We had to create our own stories, based on the theme ‘I hate you’.  We had to add music and sound effects.  Adobe Premiere is easier to work than Pro Tools.  Over the holidays I might post all the rough work that came before this.  Hopefully you can follow along with the boards.  Enjoy.

Like always, I wish I could have spent more time on this animation.  We had to create two contrasting characters and animate them in a walk cycle, run cycle, and include some sort of small interaction between them.  Both characters are supposed to be gangsters from the 20’s or 30’s (Bonnie and Clyde-esque), only the female is the tough badass and the man’s a dumb wimp.  Hah.  I love animation for that reason.  I spent the majority of my time animating the woman, and it shows.  The timing is off but I blame Flipbook for that haha.  This was my first run cycle and the first time I included smear drawings.  Enjoy.
