LA Zoo: Sept 14th

I bought a membership to the LA zoo, and went for the second time yesterday before my class.
I got a few okay sketches out of it, I really need to loosen up, start paying more attention to the gesture, less attention to the hairs and details.
These were all better than the first round though, i was super rusty the first day, it was awful.
I really like how the lioness in this set was in the same pose as the mountain lion from my day at shubie a few months ago.
Lions love sleeping with their butts in your face.

Animation Academy: Assignment 1

So I made it to LA in one piece!
And I started my course with the animation academy on character design.
So far it's going great, here's some bits and pieces from the first assignment which was to basically do 5 pages of head shots for a character development.
I'm doing a sort of take on Beauty and the Beast using a really ugly dog as Beast, and his owner, a young pretty girl as Beauty.
