more on the alphabet tip....

reallyFeelinTorn...

last couple of days i've been really lookin at typography, well "decorative fonts" would be a better description...... or would that be "domestic graffiti"......












back to the ABC's, practice makes perfect......
pen & ink on paper, "cleaned" up on Ps

inBetweenWritingEssay

same lettering on a "wallpaper" pattern i recently made......

while the roast cooked & i chased a choco powered monkey around the garden i did do a little more playing with shapes/transform......



it's almost like forming 2d clay, without the fingerprints....

hadToKeepPlaying

carried on playing with the shapes...... keeping things simple
a strange new take on the shape tools (for me)

 

some Ps practice & building shapes with transform yesterday, damn i need 2 get my camera out, working with low quality Photo's is just plain annoying now.....

damnTheBackIsThatImportant?

 i have hurt my back & feel extremely old..... & for some strange reason it has effected my ability to think straight...... hopefully some of the reading i'm doing will sink in.......




in the meantime some clunky letters....... just sketches, but the idea of my own font intrigues me

 not alot happening for me this wkend, some good ideas just not feeling it....
Tmrrw i will be hoping to get some filming done & then maybe i can get to grips with this chromakeying......










do quite like this little effort, even if this version lost a lot in compression....

notMuchRealWorkDone....

 No "real" work getting done, just reading for josh & some multi platform drawing... i have a day on monday to try & get some filming done.... then to put this practice into some use that will actually count towards a project....

But weekend 1st.......

whatCanUdoOnSuchAday...

 While CJ played beats, i played in the garden... & filled a sketch i had be meaning 2 do for @ least a year...
 yes hand rendered... Damn i've missed that smell....

springBreak.......?

 ok because of easter & various bank holidays i have no university for 4 weeks, infact i do not return until the (rescedualed) hand in of our "interactive animation" on the 3rd of may... Horah u might say but this is education i am paying a great deal for & it makes me wonder my if course couldn't just as easily be taught from home through the wonders of cyber space..... ah but i forget it's bums on THERE seats that pay the bills.....

ok moan over...
The work i am doing at the moment doesn't really give me much to share, my "interactive animation" can't be shared all that easily as the interactive element means you tube (other video sharing sites are available, i do by no means endorse just you tube, unless paid to do so) will not play it.....
 So here's a sneaky peak of what i'm promoting......

can't wait for this game to drop.

more "painting" practice...

There is a point to all this digital sketching, i am making a viral video & the plan is to animate live footage... my 1st attempt at rotoscoping... 1-2 minutes long 24 frames per second... i'm gunna need 2 paint at speed...
