My first Mind Map

2011-05-18T15:45:00.000-07:00

This is my first Mind Map. Since I am a visual thinker,

I thought that I would try and apply

Mind Mapping to something that I have always wanted

to learn and retain, 'Parts of Speech'.

I am so proud of our two Daughters and my Wife for having their work exhibited in the Williamson Art Gallery until the 22nd of May 2011.

Key Framed Animation!

2011-02-12T03:48:00.000-08:00

Here is my first attempt at planning out a Key Framed Animation as part of my learning the Twelve Principles of Animation. Using a Light Box, my next step is to carefully draw in the in-between drawings or Frames. Wish me luck :D

I decide to draw animation sequences instead of just individual images,to further speed up my learning. source.

Happy New Year everyone.

2011-01-06T12:44:00.000-08:00

My New Years resolution is to work harder at everything I do, lets see if I can stick to this in 2011.....

Pictures are of my drawing for animation progress and a wire render of an old character which I am going to re work and bring up to date with current technology.

Police Craft - Project Progress!

2010-11-24T15:38:00.000-08:00

Hi, here is our latest project.

Our aim with this project is to gain interest from clients involved with Sci Fi within various areas of the CGI industry.

The Police Craft is part of a larger project. Once each element of the project has been produced and represented in it's own rite, we shall put everything together into a scene which conveys a narrative of it's own.

Stay tuned for updates.

John Kricfalusi and Preston Blair can helping Artists realise their potential.

2010-08-11T03:19:00.001-07:00

Hi,

Here is my take on it.

Growing up, my Foster parents and my Biological Parents didn't express any kind of Artistic or Creative flare that I was aware of. I found myself interested in Art and Creative persuits through Teachers who inspierd me to follow in their footsteps. I took a long time to make progress, as my creations were either ignored or critisised at home.

It has taken me a long time to realise that I need to go back to basics and fine tune my drawing skills, to realise my true potential. I know that it is there, dormant, as I have been pouring my creativity and time into learning 3D Applications for many years now and coming up with marketable results. I do realise now that if I had concentrated on the basics of drawing at the start, I would have realised a much greater potential by now.

This leads me into the point that I am trying to make. My three children have developed, watching my Wife and myself drawing and producing 2D/3D Illustrations since day one. They have all developed their own unique style. My oldest Daughter, at twelve years of age has developed her ability to the level of a High School graduate. She is realising her potential.

I feel that anyone can be creative and realise their potential with the correct enviroment and most importantly encouragement.

Just watching my children realise their own potential is inspirational and has encouraged me to go back to basics in order to realise my own potential.

This is how I am going to do it.:

The link above takes you to a blog by Stephen Worth of the ASIFA Hollywood - International Film Society.

The Blog explains how John Kicfalusi, the Artist behind Ren and Stimpy has started a Blog to help teacher Artists the basics of Drawing and Animating toon characters. John uses a book by Preston Blair, a famous Disney animator to help teach the basics. I believe that following this free course could help any Artist here on Spinquad to realise their potential by learning the drawing techniques outlined in the blog.

Hope this helps guys. Remember, Persistence and Determination can produce talent all of it's own.

Welcome to my new Blog

2010-06-24T00:07:00.000-07:00

Hi Guys,

I have decided to start a blog centered around myself as a 3D Artist and more specificly those projects that are aside from my Freelance work, otherwise known as personal projects.

My plan is to use this Blog as an ongoing conversation about my 3D projects and how I am to see them through.

I hear that Linkedin and Twitter are good companion for Blogger, therefore I will endevour to link my Tweets and Network in with this Blog.

In the comming weeks and months I plan to work on the following personal projects:

* To produce and report upon a 3D Sci - Fi Illustration called Outlaw.

* 3D modeling and 3D printing of Characters based on my Wife's excellent Greeting Cards ( www.purplecabbage.co.uk )

* Further development of my Architectural and Industrial Visualisation portfolio.

* Move along with my Animator training.

Well, lots to be moving on with guys. I look forward to updateing you with my next post.
