What Lies Beneath - Drawing from Film Story Exercise

Last year I posted some pages fo this story exercise I was working on. It was an exercise from Emma Coats: board out an entire feature film to study the inner workings of cinema. It took me more than a year but I finally completed this sucker! 

Here it is, 41 pages. As you can see I began to work larger and more detailed as I went along. I had a lot of fun with this thing and intend to start out on a new film soon. 

California Sketches

This week I returned home from a 4 1/2 week vacation in California. I hadn't been away for such a long time in more than 10 years! It was also my first time in the US. We had a great time, I've seen so many wonderful things, visited amazing places and met the greatest people.

Normally I do quite a bit of sketching when I'm on vacation but this time there was so mcuh to do that I hardly had the time to sit down and draw.

And some sketches from the awesome San Diego Zoo:

True Grit Studies

Some studies of True Grit I did for the CGMA storyboarding course I'm currently doing. The course is awesome and I hope to post some more work from it here soon!

(these studies were done digital)

Goodbye Isabella - Next 5

Another Next 5 inspired by a pic chosen by Lissa Treiman. The original picture can be found here. I always start these things on paper, doing a quick thumbnail to see how I'm gonna approach it. You can see the sketch for this one below.
