I thought maybe it was time to get going on some arty types in male form! It's easier to post when your just doing drawings, and not animation for other people that your not suppost to show.
However, sometime in the near future there will probably be more animation on the blog... some new stuff that I'm pretty excited about, so stay tuned!!!

jriggity: Thanks!
Emmanuelle: Thanks a ton! I hope it'll live up to expectations!
Great drawings as always. I'm in the planning stages of a hand-drawn animation with dialogue. This is my first hand-drawn attempt at really animating to a voice track. I'm much more confident animating on the computer (2D and 3D) when I can see my real time playback instantly, but this time it's all pencil and paper! I'm tired of the computer and it's digital crutches! Anyway, I've got some Glen Keane notes and some books, but I wanted to ask you for any words of wisdom or pitfalls to watch out for, since I very much admire your animation work. Thanks, I'll be posting my progress on my blog as I go.

Hey Vince! My best advice to you would be to not start drawing too early, or animating for that matter. Really figure out what you want to do/the scene is telling you to do. Once you have a very clear idea of the arc within the shot, what's it's about I'd start doodling your thumbnails. Something that always helps me is to summarize the shot in one, very short, sentence. Something like, "Timmy is mad about his toy being taken away from him". Pretty simple-- anthing that does not serve that sentence doesn't (most likely) belong in your shot. So plan plan plan!! Once you're through planning, start doodling some storytelling poses. See how few you really need to make the shot read as "Timmy is mad about his toy being taken away from him". If it's one, then great... shoot those keys then start to break it down. From here it get's more technical... but that would be my basic starter advice. Feel free to show me anything, I'd love to see it!
Matt , these are so great man. The shapes the proportions the balance the flow.Hope your doing well man. Keep it up.
