Background Research & Design

Here are some background sketches/research/design done a few weeks ago. Have not had much time to post them until now. These are backgrounds for a short children's story about an old guy that eats kids! These will lead to a final finished keyframe from the story. Will post character designs soon, and start working on storyboards...

Here are the sketches leading up to some color keys for the story.

79 drawings #2,3,4

Got behind in scanning these in, but here are a few of the panels from the last few 79 drawings a day. I think I'm getting better at figuring out what to put into the drawing in such a short amount of time, and trying to add some value. I'm not uploading all the panels, but here are a few I liked.

These first three are from Prince of Egypt. Never saw the movie, but looks pretty good, seems like there is some singing though....

These Next two are from Rushmore. I have seen this movie, and it's a classic.

These last three are from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Never seen this movie, but I liked the camera shots, so I'll have to watch it soon.

My sketching hand is getting tired, but will come back stronger!
