Final Action Analysis

First semester of Third year left me with this.

This was the original plan for this assignment, I wanted him to end up under water :( Time would not allow for it

Life Drawing Assignment

K for real? Life drawing is amazing in third year, the teacher 'Tim' is fantastic! and you're pretty much free to explore any styles or subject matter you want. You aren't forced to draw exactly what's in front of you, you're encouraged to branch out and try new things and let your style affect your drawings.

Also I could draw the models as animals instead of people <3 

Best class ever.

SketchBook

A collection of some of my favourite pages from the sketchbook I kept throughout 3rd year.

Mostly pen & ink, col-erase, water colour and a bit of copic marker

Art that I can't think of a category for :3

Just some art. That I drew.

<3

Sketch Dailies

I have a great love for the sketch dailies promts, I only started doing them near the end of the school year so I didn't have time to do too many of them before school ended and I no longer had access to a cintiq and photoshop, I've been so spoiled with all the lovely technology at school that trying to do digital art on anything else disgusts me haha.

Prompts: Centaur, Troll, My cool little pony, Thor, Aquaman, Invisible Man.

Also a couple for Animal Sweater Sunday!

I also stopped doing these when school let out :( I need to find a way to get around my lack of technology.

Character Design

We spent quiet a bit of this year stressing about applying for our summer internships which means I spent even more time trying to come up with some halfway decent character designs to fluff up my portfolio with.

These hamsters were for a pitch idea for my fourth year film

The yeti was for an alternative forth year film idea(decided to go with the hamster instead)

Ahhhh! It's been so long, here's some stuff you've missed.

For the few people who may or may not actively follow my blog I am so sorry for disappearing! Third year in Sheridans Animation program gets pretty crazy half way through first semester and everything that isn't school work sort of falls on the back burner. I have been posting on Tumblr though and will probably continue to post more frequently there if you guys and gals are interested. http://kait-lines.tumblr.com/

Now that I've apologized we can move on to the good stuff, these nest few posts are basically just going to be a big dump of some the art that I've done over the course of  my third year. I'll do my best to post more frequently after this T^T

Rough Animation

First pass at my action analysis animation. SO many issues with this, got my critique back so it's time to re-do most of it haha.

Gator babyyyy <3

3rd Year film

WOAH! We're making a group film this year and it's been crazy fun so far. This is just some of the work that I've done for it so far.

What's the film about you say? Check out our production blog to find out!

Royal Winter Fair

I love field trips!! Especially the ones that involve cute animals.

Inspired by the art in Kung Fu Panda

Playing With Toon Boom

So they introduced a new class this year at Sheridan where we've got 2 Professionals from Nelvana teaching us the in's and out's of the ToomBoom Harmony software. It's been a really fun program to work with and I feel like I'm going to be able to accomplish a lot with it :D

Balls.... again, thought I left these behind in first year

 Try to make even the boring assignments fun.

This guy had a body, but we were told to do the animation without it attached.

I've really become quite fond of this program <3 and our teacher haha

Action Analysis Character

Little crocogator guy 

This is just a compilation of some of the rough work I've done trying to figure out what I want this character to look like for the action analysis assignment. I'll post his final character sheet when it's done.

New Blog Header!

I was getting pretty tired of my old blog header, that coupled with the fact that it had a white background and I wanted to switch my blog to the dark grey template meant it was time for a change! A couple of my friends and I set ourselves a small personal challenge to make a new banner before we started school on September 3rd so here you have it!

He's an unlucky lucky cat, he's good luck for everyone else yet he always seems to get caught in the rain.

Bat Character Design

Seriously, bats have to be one of my favourite animals. Flying rodents, what more could you want <3

Pokemon!

3 dysfunctional second gen Starter Pokemon that just never got picked by trainers and were left to their own devices at professor Elms lab.

A moody and un-motivated Cyndaquil

A Chicorita living with PTSD

A Totodile with no regard for personal boundaries

Gah! I don't think I'll ever stop loving Pokemon.

Here have some more!

Boar Character Design

These were done closer to the end of second year where I was looking for any way to avoid doing any actual homework.

Crocodile Character Design

Just a couple cuties, possibly for a future animation.

Rabbit Character Design

The next few posts are things that I've uploaded to Tumblr over the past few months


Final character design assignment, I really enjoyed that class this year and I have learned and improved so much, gotta love Peter Emslie for everything he's managed to teach me. I can only get better from here. Rabbit wants the chocolate. Rabbit gets the chocolate. Rabbit gets caught with the chocolate.
