Trevor's Work

Scribbles

2010-04-16T09:59:00.001-07:00

These first couple of Scribbles were done from watching T.V. I wanted to focus on the simple shapes of the head...also any other features that I noticed first on the character I tried to exaggerate. Oddly enough I usually noticed things like chins, noses, and ears.

This was one of my better Scribbles that I got done while I was at the zoo, not that great.
And here is one of my better Scribbles that I finished at the Airport, I've noticed that most of the more interesting drawings are from people that I see for a short moment like a couple of seconds. Usually you can tell right away if you want to draw someone.

Animation

2010-04-02T05:38:00.000-07:00

So here is a piece of animation that I did at Animation Mentor, I would like to touch up a couple of things but it's close enough to post I think. The only thing with learning maya is that you start to develop new ways of doing things so fast that by the time you are done a shot you would have animated it differently. I hope the next few months I can pump out some more Animation at a better quality.

The sketch is something I did to remind myself of who the character is, I'm no good at modeling, lighting or textures. (frankly I don't give a crap, I just want to animate) The sketches keeps me from animating Bishop (the rig) as a character. Instead I try to give a character to the rig, in this case an old man named Hank.

More football

2010-04-02T05:30:00.000-07:00

Ok.... it has been way too long since I posted! I've just been sucked into my animation for the past Year, and now I can post a few things that I've been working on. Not as much drawing as I would have liked but that's about to change, I've just graduated from Animation Mentor!!!
I will start posting some animations when they are closer to final polish, I'm just doing some touch ups.

These are some Motion studies I did from photos and youtube vids.

1940's Football....GoTeam.

2009-05-15T07:08:00.000-07:00

Hey Again,

I plan on having more football pics up soon, I'll just tag them to this post. I did this in sketchbook pro.

Bigfoot!!!

2009-05-06T14:35:00.000-07:00

Hey guys,

Here is a little peek at something I'm working on, it should be tons of fun. I thought I would post these sketches to show how I approach a blank page and end up with something close to final.(not there yet) I like to do gags and such to help bring out my characters attitude and personality.
I would love to hear feedback on what you think.

Enjoy Trevor

Food Court

2009-04-27T13:52:00.000-07:00

Hey Again,

Wow! one month and no posts. I really need to speed it up a little....

Anyways here are some sketches I did when I was at the mall yesterday, I used charcoal on newsprint. The last guy was tricky because I only saw his face for about 3 seconds before he walked by. But his nose and chin were the most memorable. So I don't think it looks like him but I liked how that guys nose was basically his whole face.

hope you like!

p.s

I added one more at the top

Balance & Exhaustion

2009-03-26T12:15:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys,

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time, I've been drawing things for the short film for most of the week so I can't post anything just yet. but soon....real soon...

anyways here is some studies I did for Balance and exhaustion, I did these while I was in animation mentor.

Enjoy

Old People

2009-03-13T14:31:00.000-07:00

Hi again,

Here is some old people that I drew while looking at Google image, it's a great way to learn how to characterize people. This was the first time I used Corel Painter. Since I only have the trial version for now, I will most likely continue to use Corel Painter for my next few posts. (Just too see if I want to buy it or not)

so far I really enjoy it!

Hello,

This is a character concept for a short I'm working on. I still have tons of work to do to get it were I want it but I thought I'd share this with you guys.

Enjoy!

Larger than Life

2009-03-03T14:45:00.000-08:00

Here's some sketches of larger people that I did, the reference came from google image. I'm trying to get better at adding character and form to my life drawing. tough...

Mulder.

2009-02-28T13:58:00.000-08:00

Man I love the X-Files! best show ever, you will most likely see some more drawings of Mulder and Scully in the future.

Anyways here is some sketches of Mulder.

Lions...Grrrrrr

2009-02-28T13:55:00.001-08:00

Hey guys,

Life Drawing

2009-02-26T10:04:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone,

Here is some life drawing that I did during my third year at Algonquin, recently I went in with sketchbook pro and added some lines to punch it up! That showed me were I should be spending more time and what I am missing out of my life drawing. It's really a great exercise to help you see what you are missing and push your life drawing to the next level.

enjoy

(feedback would be great)

elephants can't see well...

2009-01-20T21:08:00.000-08:00

The first one is a study of baby elephants, which I did by watching you-tube videos.
The other one I did to play around with some color.

Alright, here is the rough staging for the animation. just to give me an Idea of where I would like the characters to be and roughly size.
