Animation Head & Hair Turn
The Head& Hair Turn that I’m known for. Done in either 1996 or 1997 at the U-ARTS Philadelphia on Scholarship. ????******************** The MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION I GET IS: “How do you draw your hair?” Well, it’s Really Easy, but it’s a long story about how I figured it all out. Anyways, THIS IS THE ANIMATION THAT I MADE THAT’S RESPONSIBLE FOR MY FIGURING OUT HAIR!!!!!!! ******** The Story: Much of my art is still done using trick and techniques that I was taught by Lowl Boston at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, while I went there, on Scholarship, durring my junior & Senior years in Highschool. YES! I went to college while I was still in Highschool, on the weekend! The 1st thing that any animation student learned is “The Bouncing Ball”. In this basic of all lessons you learn the principles of “Squash & Stretch”. This is so important in animation. And, by doing something as simple as animating a bouncing ball you just “get it”: key frame, In-betweens, blur lines, squash & stretch, and timing. Lowl Boston kept giving me scholarships, so I kept returning season after season as the scholarships got bigger and more generous. Since I’d done all the typical lessons, and I just LOVED animation, I deside to try some other things. I was a big fan of Glen Kean’s “Pocahontas”, and I had coppied several of his sketches from his pin-up-board from an interview for “Pocahontas” and coppied them. Yet, I didn’t “get it yet”. I was a big fan of Blümchen, and I had a …

I totally suck at 3D.
have you seen my 3D CRAP? it’s pretty bad!
I think of 3D not so much as animation tho’. It’s more of a digital sculpting & choreography.
But, i have total respect for people whom are really good at it, since there’s just sooooo much crap out there.

You are really good! I once messed around with this stuff, always failed. Then I learned how to do 3D modeling and animation in Maya. I liked it better.

The best advice I can ever give anyone is take allot of life drawing classes, and focus alot on the quicker poses, and gestures.
Also, keep a sketchbook with you and draw, draw, draw, draw. never stop. People hate the “P” word (practice). But, just do it. doesn’t matter what you draw, nor how good you draw. as long as you’re sketching as a habit.
