My Stupid Life

Hi, I'm Annie. I'm an artist currently pursuing an MFA in Visual Development for animation. I'm a bunch of other stuff too, but all you need to know is that here I shall post works in progress, ramblings, and stuff I like.

  1. Hansel and Gretel Animatic (by headexplodie)

    Hooray! I’ve finished with all my classes this semester and it’s time for a little bit of a break. I’ve been totally brain-drained this week and am looking forward to a little less stress. Just a little.

    Anyway, I took my first storyboarding class this semester and learned a ton about trying to tell a story through film. I’m definitely looking forward to watching more movies during the break with an eye for staging, composition, camera angles, etc.

    Here is my final project, a scene from the story of Hansel and Gretel. Of course, final projects are never THAT final, and I hope to work on it more over the summer. Got lots of ideas during the last crit. My teacher Robert strongly suggested the bird should poop chocolate. Hehe, not sure if I will make that happen, but just goes to show, there are many ways to tell a story.

  4. Santa’s Peppermint SlideSanta’s Village, Dundee, Illinois Researching images for my Hansel and Gretel storyboard project. I have always wanted to go back in time to visit one of these Santa’s Villages. Maybe that’s why the story appeals to me, I want to EAT ALL THE THINGS!

  6. Yeeehaw! 14 hours and many sticks of charcoal later, I have finished my final for Head Drawing class, another self-portrait! I would not be surprised if my snot was black from all the wiping and spreading of charcoal. Yep. It’s black. I’ll post the final image later when there’s better lighting and when I’ve gotten some much needed sleeeeeeeeeeep.

  7. Week 7 of Head Drawing.

     

  8. Bill Sanchez is hilarious. He teaches the Clothed Figure workshop on Fridays and had us draw him in this 5 minute pose with a saw and hardhat. Then he did a demo on my drawing of what you could do with another 5 minutes incorporating the construction worker costume on top. And then he saw I had an orange pastel stick and well…

  10. Self Portrait Time Lapse!

    …and here is the time lapse of my drawing getting drawn! Hours of me laying down charcoal, then erasing it, and smooshing my head around are mere seconds in this animated gif. ENJOY!

     
  11. Here’s a self portrait I did for Head Drawing class two weeks ago. Been meaning to post it sooner but I made a time lapse animation of this getting drawn which took freaking forever to create due to busy-ness and my lack of familiarity with using Photoshop as an animation tool…

  14. Can you believe the top two drawings are of the same dude!? Hah. Well, it’s week 4 of Head Drawing, and I still have lots to work on. I had the unique opportunity to draw a long pose of the same model twice, so I chose a profile view the second day. Quite a challenge. Also, I think John got a haircut between Monday and Tuesday! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Also, a blind contour drawing of a head. I’ve always loved doing these because I like being surprised by the delightfully grotesque results at the end.
