Jahziel - Art School Journey

jahziel.ongcol 2022-09-13 20:12:38 UTC #1

Hello,

My name is Jahziel and I've been working in the animation industry as an asset builder for Adobe Flash and Toonboom Harmony about 8 years. I've always had a passion for drawing and art, and attended animation school as well but I wanted to take this course to improve my drawing skill further. I feel as though my skills have plateaued and the only way to move forward is to continue learning. I hope these classes can help me improve and can give me a better grasp of the fundamentals like anatomy. Nice to meet you!

welcome! nice to see a fellow animator on here! (well im kind of a animation hobbyist so idk if im a "real animator" considering ive only done animations that are less than a minute but i do plan to make 6 roughly 3 minute trailers for my comic that i'm currently plotting when i get to the point where the plotbuilding is pretty much done. its a rly big story lol)

One of the Nude Figure Drawing assignments! This proved to be pretty challenging, but also kinda fun!

Fantastic forshortenning on that third pose! Really stellar work! Keep it up!

jahziel.ongcol 2022-10-03 22:37:09 UTC #16

Thank you!! That was a little tricky to figure out haha

Some more term one assignments I finally got around to do! Proportion practice and some gesture drawings. I feel like I ought to practice these a bit more for sure.

jahziel.ongcol 2022-10-11 23:30:36 UTC #18

Practiced doing the full figure with the tools I've learned. It was kinda challenging, especially when drawing the guy! But it was certainly good practice.

Hey this looks already great!
Maybe next time you'll could pay more attention to the negative space between certain body parts. For example the legs ^.^

That's a good note to keep track of. Thank you!
