CTNX 2013

I finally got the time to update after having quite a busy few months. I was very lucky to be able to attend the CTN animation convention this year and not only that but volunteer with the Vancouver Animation School! The experience was no less then amazing. From flying out for the first time on my own to the other side of the world ( I live in the UK) to having the chance to meet all the people who I look up to and admire their craft and just soaking in so much information and experience. I got to talk to people of the industry for portfolio reviews, peers, student, and people thinking of entering that world.

I was also very lucky to get a Disney tour and realize one of my dreams! I really feel like I got best of everything during my short week-end there and can't wait to be able to go again next year!

The Story of Flewn

I am really happy to say that for the next 3 months I have the chance and privilege to be part of this amazing project created by Gabriel Smetzer.



I'm really exited to get really into it as it ties in with all the things I love. I can't wait to see how the final product will turn out.

More info about the project on kickstarter here & you can follow the progress of the production on the blog  here .

Wish me luck!

Zbrush Work

I’ve been trying to get my schedule back on track and decided to give myself two mornings a week to go sketch outdoors because A: it gets me out the house and B:I can get reference and practice that you can’t get sat at a computer all day. I’ve been doing it on and off for a year now and it took me a few trials and errors to find the right spots in town from which I had a good view but wasn’t obvious to the passers-by outside.

 I tried out this brown recycled paper sketchbook after having it on my shelve for past 3yrs not knowing what to do with it as I saw Mr.Brett Bean use it together with red pencils which liked the finish off together with white highlights . I love his handwork and use of strong shapes simple shapes which is what I need to practice.
