sketch inspired by pixar’s ratatouille
One of many rough sketches I rendered as a contractor for LeapFrog, ca. 2006. My task was to create rough layout drawings which would define the various pages of their Ratatouille LeapPad.

monday figure drawing workshop, theme: “batgirl”
Tonight I attended a figure drawing workshop, and really enjoyed it. The workshop is intended for animators so the models pose in costume- tonight’s theme was Batgirl. The poses are short in duration and dynamic, changing every one, three, or five minutes, so the emphasis lies more on speed and on capturing the ‘gesture’ of a movement, rather than on drawing a realistic, representational portrait. Capturing the ‘attitude’ of the character, ‘pushing’ the pose and, perhaps creating a little story with one’s drawing, are very much encouraged.

Character development- inspirational art for my puppy story
This drawing is another one of my favorites. For my story, The Dog Has to Go, I drew several inspirational sketches.
Once the characters were nailed down, I created a storyboard for my animation. By scanning the drawings and manipulating them in Adobe After Effects, I created an animatic. I invite you to watch it here.
