chipmunk thief

Finally done after 2 week worth of work. I insisted to do it as a pencil test on my light box. It was such a trouble to get the lip to sync, cause I jumped ahead and didn't take the time to learn how to do it, so I manage to stream the sound into Flash.
Anyway here it is, and I had time to spare to upload it for 11secondclub. I just had a hard time to get it straight. Thank you Mike for knowing Final cut. I would never have got it right without you.

Chipmunks Animation Progress

Here is the progress on my new animation that I'm doing for the 11 Second Club.  Still have plenty to do.  I changed the audio, only for my purposes, unfortunately, you can't edit sound for the actual competition.

Characters

Just a few drawing. But I'm working more on my animation this quarter.





This is some idea for Tangle when she was 5.
J'ai eu envie de faire Reponse a l'age de 5 ans.

Angry Teddy Animation

animation 4


Here is my latest animation. I have yet to finish it but I am really excited about completing it. There is so much I would like to do with it. I have a couple more animation projects that I would like to complete during the next couple of quarters.

Cette animation est l'une de mes preferes, je dois la finire. J'aimerais vraiment faire plus de chose avec. Mais j'ai aussi deux autre projects d'animation que je voudrais travailler ces prochains mois.

Character Design

These are some sketches I did for Character development. It was a very fun class and I really enjoyed it. I already posted the final line up and expression sheet of the characters for the Thumbelina story, but I also thought about posting my research and development.
I love to animate, but creating characters is really fun too. It really opens up your imagination and I know I need to push it further and try more cartoony and stretchy designs.

Voici quelques un des dessins que j'ai fait pour le Developpement des personnages de Pouceline. J ai beaucoups aime cette classes, J avais deja mis les versions final et en couleur des personnages principaux mais je voulais aussi y mettre le developpement et recherches des sketches.
En generale je prefere faire de l animation mais creer des personnage et vraiment amusant, ca me donne libre cours a mon imagination. Mais je sais que j'ai besoin d'essayer un style plus cartoony et plus pousse.

Personal work

voici quelque projets personels, et je suis en ce moments en train de creer d'autre pages de personnages.

From the resent one to the oldest (couple years old), here are a few personal finished work.

Some background

Here is some work done in photoshop, I like the color and saturation in these 2 different styles.

Ceci sont mes paysages preferes, j'aime le rendu de couleurs et des diferents style. Je les ais fait avec photoshop.

Life drawing.

More pastel and drawings:
This is a couple of figure drawing, I have to scan the last ones I made. But here are some so far.

Voici quelques dessins de mouvement que j ai scanne, mais j'en ais fait des plus recents que je mettrais bientot.

Pastel work

• 

This is pastel and prismacolor pencil, I like those mediums, but it was not my favorite work.

J'ai fait ce dessin a la pastel et crayons.

It's time to update some of my past work from different classes or personal work.
I would like to put some of my life drawing, I try every quarter to go to the open life drawing so I should be able to upload frequently new work.

Je voulais poster quelques un de mes ancients projects de differentes classes. Surtout de dessins de model, j'essay de pratiquer le dessin d'apres model autant que possible donc je pourrais mettre mes evolution au fur et a mesure.



I like to do life drawing, it's a pure workout for the brain and drawing style. My character design improves bit by bit. Even if every beginning of each class I feel rusty, I can see that my proportion and movement in my drawing are getting better. This is a MUST DO for every artist.

Apres chaque classe de dessin apres model, je vois que je progresse enorment dans mes proportions et dans mes developpement personnel de personnage. C'est difinitivement un exercice indispensable pour tout artist.










Work on reflective light on glass. I liked the challenge, it was a very good class.
Travail de reflets et lumiere sur glasse, c'est delicats et j'adores le resultat.

Working with charcoal is delightful, I love getting all messy, and I love playing with contrast. I wish we had more classes like that, this takes a lot of time to set up, a lot of patient to sit for hours to draw.
Travailler avec du fusin est un vrai delice, J'adores avoir du noir partout et jouer avec le contrast noir et lumiere. J'aimerais en faire plus souvent. Ce dessin la a pris plusieur heure, faut savoir etre patient du debut a la fin.

Character Design

Je suis de retourd au US et donc retourd au traville. Je vais mettre ma dernier animation mais en attendant voici le hero de l'histoire, la Loutre.















I'm finally back from France and so back to work and more production to come. I have to update my video still, but in the mean time here are my character design for "lost and found" production.

Fall break,

I'm back in France traveling city to city, visiting family...
I want to take the time to update some more of my work. Summer quarter have been very busy I made two animation that I posted now.
Next quarter I intent to do some more life drawing, illustration and character design.
Until then I have a couple work (as intern) that I will post later.
Also I have a lot of idea for 'angry teddy' to make it better, I will keep updating my progress.

Poucelina

Here are some character design.
Ici se sont les croquis des personnages, Pre-production. J'aime beaucoups creer de nouvelles expresions pour mes personnages.

This is an animation I made for the class, it's simple but I would like to clean it and finish it in Flash, so hopefully I will soon put the finish version.

A la fin de ce project j' ai voulu faire une petite animation de la taupe. Je pense la finire et la netoyer avec Flash.

Finish marker character

Background for visual development, watercolor . Paysage fait a la peinture a l'eau

These are the character I pick to developed for the story of Thumbelina, I chose to do them in marker, I really like to use markers it gives an nice effect.

Voici quelque personnages que j'ai choisi de creer pour l'histoire de poucelina. J'ai fini par les faire aux marquer parce que j'adores l'effets rendu.

Premiere Fois

Just wanted to make my first post.
I would like to create this blog to share and communicate with other artists and animators about art, animation, painting, comics...
I'm from France, and I have been living in Georgia for 5 years. I'm currently enrolled at the Art Institute and working on building my portfolio.

I would like to start by posting a charcoal drawing.
