Pencil, Col-erase and CD marker

For a hastened doodle, I think the resemblance is alright-ish. I should spend more time on an RLM themed drawing one day. Mike would make a good Lucian Freud model. 2018-07-24 21:58:51 +0000 UTC View Post

Smoothing out holds

I showed this to David and Ethan when they were animating, on how to make animating into held drawings less clunky looking. 

First inbetweening so that it gets progressively slower before final...

Fox McClot swipes at Wolf

A few action-packed storyboard panels by David McDaid. Not many posts lately due to working on this storyboard some more, but there's more stuff to come!

Convoluted Mellotron

Rough tune centred around a Mellotron with various kinds of filtering. It could probably do with breaks here and there, a better beat, and more structure, but hey ho. The horns came from a trip to Car...

Royal ladies

Drew these a year or few ago and only just came across them now, looting through my old drawings for any inspiration.

Rock n Roll n Drum n Bass

Thought I'd piss about with a Pepsi-Cola sponsored vinyl record from the 70's to see if there was anything worth sampling.

Hardware used: Jasper Synth, Tone-Bender Fuzz, Jake Rothman's phase shuffle...

I started another tumblr blog for plonking animation cycles from Bob Godfrey cartoons both '...

Roobarb Sampletrak

Another silly ditty

Changing prices

Hi all,

I figured that 'cause I've used the $5 tier reward so rarely I might as well get rid of it. I might put it back in future when I get more productive, but for now there's not much point in it...

Knight Foxglove unfinished comic 2

The moral of these two comics (or of their production) is that you should have an idea of where the story's going to go before you start drawing it. I wanted to draw a comic, so I did, only to realise...

Knight Foxglove unfinished comic 1

I must've done these sometime in 2016; I've posted this one here before although the quality of the photo was terrible, so here it is again.

Fox & Crow (David's)

David's drawings, my drawings were based on. We might do a cartoon of these two one day who knows?

Fox & Crow 2

More drawings.

Fox and Crow 1

David McDaid did some nice abstract designs based on the Aesop's Fable so I thought I'd try my take on his take.

Bach-ing mad

Thank you card for Adam, my piano teacher, for helping get me a Distinction in Grade 8 piano.

"He's smashed."

I tend to doodle even the stupidest ideas in storyboard form just in case it turns out to fit a particular context in a future story. You never know!

More drawings

Top two panels are just composition ideas for a Knight Foxglove cartoon I may get to writing some point since the Starfox cartoons now on a bit of a hiatus while David and I were focussed on other tas...

Dad

Slightly caricatured drawing of my dad, happily tipsy, in his mother's armchair.

Poppa 2

Not the most interesting expression to draw, but once Harry was reading, that was the only time I could attempt to draw some detail while he wasn't moving. Still, I think I captured his likeness.

Poppa

First attempt at drawing my grandfather, Harry, during a social visit. I ain't got the knack for drawing subjects as they're moving about.

Milt Gross Study

Bunch of impulse responses

1. Empty Basement (close)

2. Empty Basement (far)

3. Room

4. Shower

5. Empty Room

6. Megaphone

Using a convolver VST (ReaVerb for example), you can use these to put you...

Convolution reverb practice

I caught the convolution bug. Had some fun recording various impulses of different places. So far only got the basement, an echoey room upstairs, and the click of a megaphone turning one. Combining al...

Another Sampletrak loop

Samples from: Roobarb (When it wasn't Thorsday), The Goodies ("Berzerk" song), Lou Donaldson - Ode To Billie Joe, Mutt and Jeff colourised cartoon.

Sampletrak noodling 3

"Bugs Fucking Bunny!" from AVGN

Funny how the lo-fi aliasing of the Sampletrak made the Technics organ whistle sound almost like a ghostly voice so that's fun.

Sampletrak noodling 2

The first recent attempt at a Sampletrak beat for a long while, so it's a bit clunkier but still rather funny with a Roobarb tuba sample for the bass line.

Sampletrak noodling

Zoom Sampletraks still go relatively cheap these days and they have a good gritty sound like the overpriced SP-1200 or MPCs. Also has a lovely "Resample" function which adds to the grit. The built in ...

Yet more observationally observant observations that are drawn

Here's a tip: keep an eye on the spaces between the bits of your subject and especially within the subject too. Is the triangle, enclosed inside the armpit, elbow and wrist, the same sort of triangle ...

Yet more observational drawings

Yup, more of the same.
