A Little Dreamer-COMPLETE

I have been working very hard on this sticky-note stop motion animation and I think it is one of my most creative ones revolving around storytelling so far!  It is about what our dreams and aspirations can be from childhood to adulthood.  Remember when you wanted to be a mermaid as a little girl?  Remember surviving off of coffee in the morning in high school but it would created crazy dillusions in your dreams if you had it too late at night? And remember dreaming of that career you have always wanted?

In a way, this story is a lot like mine.  Childhood seemed like the most magical moment in my life, high school felt slow at the beginning but zoomed by when junior year hit and I was more than ready for art college to start and my dream career is to be a professional animator and one day own my own traditional animation light-box!

Yeah, go check it out on my youtube channel!!
The Little Dreamer

Stop Motion Concept Art

The Little Dreamer. The story of dreams and how they change throughout our lives. From when we dream to be mermaids to the big dream of living in New York City to retiring on a beach with our loved one.  

Character Design is for the little girl near the beginning of the animation.

Pen Work and Form

Doing a study of some So You Think You Can Dance dancers when I am taking a break from school work.  Love drawing girls doing ballet and alternative.

This piece I drew while on a city bus on the way to the mall.

I have also started trying to stop using pencil when sketching and using only using pen.  I recommend it for any artist who is trying get better when it comes to cafe sketching or practicing figure drawing.  It forces an artist to not be sloppy when sketching it out but also it is really fun to simply let your pen flow.

These Are Not The Droids You Are Looking For

It has been so long since I could just sit down and sketch for fun!  And what better way to spend my sketching then 2 of my favorite droids!  If you haven't seen Star Wars, go have a marathon and then see the Force Awakens in theaters because they are amazing! Also, you will understand my love for these droids when you see them!  Ladies and Gents, I give you R2-D2 and BB8!

Late Night Animating

Working on an animation about ME.  I am mega excited to show you guys who I am through this little clip and what will soon become a short biography of how I became an animator and my inspirations.  Cannot wait to show the end result! :D
