Random Drawing #3

Done in my sketchpad while hanging out at a coffee shop. I just really wanted to draw a fat monster who was tired of it all, then doodled the rest around that idea.

The Girl Gets the Bird

This started out, and essentially still is, as a response to an acmeanimaton.org challenge. That challenge was to have a girl (the age of 8-10) walk onscreen, find a dead bird, emote, walk to and pick it up, emote more, have the bird wake up and fly off, then have her emote as it ended. All within 30 seconds or less.

Playing with narrative I wound up getting it closer to 90 seconds in length, taking nearly 4 months of work, and close to a whole ream of paper. The very last of the animation being done digitally over the scans.

There is no audio at the moment, I'm considering consulting some friends about changing that.
