Preston Blair

Over at John K's blog, he offers what he calls the $100,000 Animation course free on his site. Basically it just scans from Preston Blair's book, teaching drawing from basic forms and geometric shapes to construct characters from the inside out. It's tougher than hell at times to follow along but it certainly has had some interesting results in my work.
It starts with basic head construction, using a 3D Egg for a head, adding guide lines, then drawing features according to those lines. It seems really forced at first but I've never been able to rotate a head as successfully as this before.


I love the old lady here (straight from the book) but that crazy punk/Fudd creeps me out.

When I come home I find odd projects, weird pictures, mess, and happy, well adjusted kids. You should know about all the clever crap Dave Does too. It's so fun you might copy some too.
