How to know you are an animation student

I stumbled across this blogpost with some pictures from a calendar by an x-ray machine company.
You know that you are an animation student when you see this kind of picture and the first thing that interests you is how the spine is bent, the curve from the hips up to the neck, and the second thing is the angle of the hips compared to the angle of the shoulders... :-)

Here is another one. - Whoah, look how the spine is compressed there in the middle part! This is crazy, man! :-)

Class 1 is over and done !

This is my progressreel with the exercises and assignments from the first class of Animation Mentor. Only 5 more classes to go. - Jeez the time went by fast! :-)

sketches portraying "exhaustion"

I notice that the weeks are flying by here and it's getting harder and harder to keep up with this blog. School is keeping me pretty busy.

Not that I'm very surpsrised at all my missing updates, I have seen this thing happen to other AM students before me. Their blogs seems to be best updated just before class 1 starts and a couple of weeks into the school. Every second day there is a new update. Then - suddenly - there is a HUGE gap to the next post which usually is posted somewhere in class 3, half a year later... :-)


Well, I'm going to try and NOT let it get that far. I'll try and keep up!

Here are some recent sketches from an assignment where we are meant to catch the feeling of EXHAUSTION...

And this is the final Maya pose...

 ......'til next time..... so long.
