I like faces. Puzzled faces are good. Today because of shortness of time i went for another pose. Tomorrow as penance i will probably do some gesture drawing.
I popped out to see Paperman/Wreck-It Ralph today. I liked ‘em.
Part of good animation is good storytelling, and good storytelling makes an emotional connection with the audience. So if i don’t have time for walk cycles, there’s still quicker things i can do.
I tried to pose this guy to make him look like he’s grief-stricken, or at the very least not very happy. I accidentally left autokeying while i was posing and a bunch of work got rubbed out when i pressed Render… but most of what i needed to do to fix the pose i was working on was to drop the camera angle a bit. Pose was fine. Camera angle was bad. File that one under “experience”.
A sad cartoon man is not the most cheerful thing in the world. Maybe more substantial than the usual cartoon cheese.
