The second half of the digital studies (10/10) were also handed in at the same time as the 7th digital painting assignment. Goodbye to you Digital Tools, you will be missed.

Our 7th digital painting assignment is to basically put a character inside a layout. Here's my take on it.

Create a swamp creature; seems pretty easy. Here's my take on the "Swamp Creature" assignment.

In the middle of the semester marks the reading week and with it are due the first half of the quick studies. Here are 5/10 of them.

Fold Studies to uhh study folds in clothing.

Another value study, but this is based on a room of our choice.

Time for some art work from the Digital Tools class. Starting with this value study of this Koi fish.

Final animation of first year, the "Heavy lift" animation.

"Pitch and Bat" animation.

"Meow" animation assignment, it speaks for itself.

"Step up and down" animation. Character must step up the set of stairs with one emotion, give the character a reason to change its emotion, then go down the stairs with a different emotion.

"Broad jump rough" and Broad jump final" animation.

"Stationary jump keys" and "Stationary jump final" animation.

And that's all for the first semester animations. Moving on to second semester animations.

The "seaweed spine" and "seaweed" animations.

"Leg cycle" animation.

"Pendulum swing"

(tick tock tick tock)

"Single arm swing" and "double arm swing"

Moving on from the stationary ball bounce animations, the "descending energy ball bounce" and "descending energy ball bounce with tail".

Moving on from the single ball bounce is the "double ball bounce" and then the "double ball bounce with a tail".

Ever wondered what my first semester animations looked like? Think no further:

Starting with my single ball bounce:

Hello everyone! really really sorry for the lack of posts. As usual being in school with lots of hectic assignments doesn't give me spare time to posts many of my art work. Now that its Winter Break prepare for the incoming posts.

An exciting thing about Seneca@York is that once a year we the students have the opportunity to submit our art work to the Seneca Artbook. For this year I decided to give it a try and this is what my pages look like. Enjoy.

Lastly, the the biggest layout assignment was the Historic Pan layout assignment. By choosing a historic time period the layout had to correspond to that time. For me I chose the years where cowboys were around in the dessert and electricity wasn't their main source of energy.

 (Here are some rough shots related to the historic pan, probably later on I will post final images)

Going back to interiors, the Mad Scientist layout assignment taught us how to utilize different layers.

(this is a rough version, but the Final is basically a cleaned up version of this rough)

The first exterior layout assignment was the Campsite layout. The title of the assignment pretty much speaks for itself; design a campsite. For mine I had the concept of a campsite for treasure hunters who found a spot to rest after raiding a cave.

Once the Kids Bedroom was over with the Barbershop layout was the next assignment. My barbershop was more leaning towards a shop for the children crowd. With toys, t.v's small seats, and cute atmosphere, I thought it would be good additions to the layout.

After the Kitchen assignment was the Kids Bedroom layout assignment. The "twist" for this assignment was that the guys had to design a girls room and the girls and to design a boys room. For my little girls room I had the idea where she was a little beauty pageant girl.

First layout assignment of the year was a simple kitchen layout. To make mine somewhat unique I designed it to the liking of a person who seemed to enjoy being clean and tidy, single tends to use their laptop a lot and has a pet cat.

Along with Digital tools; another favorite class during first year was Layout. The next few posts are several of the layout drawings I accomplished. Enjoy.

Lastly from first semester digital painting class I want to share is our "Self-portrait" assignment. The assignment basically speaks for itself. By using the skills we learned over a few weeks we applied them to create a digital rendering of our faces. Enjoy.

"Original":

"Digital Render":

One of our last assignments was to use any edible food item and turn it into a character. For me I chose a potato and turned it into a warrior, a Potatorior. (I gave him potato chip shield and a french fry sword haha)

And some more examples.

Afterwards we as a class learned how to cell shade. (NOTE: the character design is not mine, I only did the colouring)

Some more examples.

In second semester we start to move onto digital work on the computer. Here's some examples.

The last animation (for now) is my rough version of the "Character Walk Cycle" assignment.

The "Leg Cycle" animation assignment was one of the few animations during first semester I enjoyed.

Another assignment we had in animation was the "Seaweed's spine" animation.

Adding onto the double ball bounce is a tail. This is the double ball bounce with tail.

Here are some animations from first semester. Starting off is the double ball bounce.

"Character Transformation" assignment.

Title says it all. For this assignment I made a red riding hood type character turn into the witch from Snow White. PLOT TWIST!

Character Line-Up assignment.

 

 For this assignment there was a description of 5 characters and for the students our task was to create characters that fit their description.

"Designing a new character in a cartoon style" assignment.

The show I was assigned to was The Legend of Korra. I tried creating a new character with a standard pose with two of her facial expressions.

"Character caricature" assignment.

This assignment was to take a student from the class, choose a cartoon show and bring the classmate into that style. Also had to add that the end product was a lazy pirate.

Character Posing with Life drawings.
