drawerings from life

 

Here's some life drawings I did of this great model called Ehrl. Sakura brush pens.  Ascending order of what i like best. Legs are an issue.

Another Testy-test

Test Shot- Paint on Glass "To Moss and Stone" from Vanessa Buldowski on Vimeo.


here's a test I did this weekend for my film. Still applying the paint on glass. I can't get the gold to work, which has me very frustrated. The "gustav klimt" element is almost entirely gone, and will be if I can't get the gold to work. I'm much more drawn to textures now, which i think works, because of the black-paint texture.

Very short-- the character model is a mock up, she needs finer details, and secondary action. Some issues with artifacting still, with the paint and not being able to get a super clean line. MUCH better second time around, though. all about keeping it clean beforehand.

 

(still)

And..

... I am in love.

And being a really big nerd about it.

Tests and Nonsense.

Screen Test-- Bear from Vanessa Buldowski on Vimeo.

You thought I was slacking off. Prove you wrong.


and an oil pastel drawing I did for fun last night, along with a close up. I don't have a good handle on them yet, but I'll keep at it.
(Oil pastel painting based on Gustav Klimt's Water Serpents )

Oh my Wild Woman, all is well.

Even MOOORE developmental stuff. Trying to open her mouth/ give her not simply seductive looks, since we need to get over that part of her. Yes-- she is inherently supposed to be sexual. But gosh darn it if she doesn't have a personality to boot! (I think I'm funny sometimes)

I'm still having fun with that hair. Although I will admit drawing in blue and making "happy" images was hard to do. She kept on wanting to be depressed, dangit.

The colors I animate in influence the moods of my characters.  Hmmmm....

More Wild Woman

With this film I've been really interested in and pulling inspiration from Rackham, Dulac, and Gustav Klimt. I'm thinking of ways of working/ replicating the gold foil-look in animation/ visuals in the animation. Paint on glass is a large possibility, working both with the female and the bear. I'm also trying to seperate from the story a little bit, to allow myself to actually make it a better piece, even if it means giving up on lovable characters (ie- characters that I love)

Life Drawer-ings

 I'm digging it.
