This image in pencil for me has a certain sense of movment about it. It is not particualy detailed but has the lines of probable movement left in place on the drawing. There is a circular line going around the head which suggests a swivelling motion is possible and also a centre line which emisizes where the weight is on the model. There is minimal use of shading; which at this time; i used very sparingly.

This image; drawn from a photo of a statue in Poznan, Poland is done with oil pastels. In it i have committed a lot earlier. There are no pencil lines to gauge it first off and some of the model seems to be missing. The picture does tell you about his stance and the way he is brandishing his spear; he is looking straight at the camera; just about to bring the spear back with his right hand and throw it straight at you. Icoudl have tried to put some shadows in this drawing but in the time i allowed myself; i did not have time.


In this sketch i have tried to capture the main character in the monochrome animated movie 'Renaissance' by Christian Volckmann, 2007. The style gave me an idea about the ammount of information needed to be present on the screen to give meaning. I am going to try and use some images that have been 'threshholded' as key frames in one of my 2d animation projects and to try and work out the tweens. That is what i am going to do now, so until then, bye!
