Drawing exercises

A scarf to study draping, some exotic goddesses to study body proportions and perspective.

Gigia's cartoon alpha version

It took me ages to decide whether to share this version of my first cartoon. But it was simply an exercise without which I couldn't get my Autodesk Certificate from Digital Dreams Barcelona.
I was so proud of myself when I handed it in on the 6th on April, but since then I was told that:

a) the palette is inconsistent
b) changing the light from what I thought could be daybreak to sunset, just to give a sense of time passing more quickly than it appears, is actually quite confusing
c) There is no depth of field, no fog and no blur
d) It takes a couple of views, at least, to guess the snail is hungry and can't move because the shell is too heavy.

In spite of all this, it was still a step in my learning process. I hope by next year I'll look back to this experiment with the same tenderness you look at your primary school drawings. I'm trying to put together a beta version, even though it would require radical changes.

Comic version of Gigia

I started using Comic Life as a substitute for a proper storyboard program.
