quick character sketches for Old Odd Tales
I drew some quick character sketches for Old Odd Tales while I was in one of my night classes. Too many bits and bytes divert my mind away from the lecture and only drawing can bring me back to reality...
Like what they said: "Even though Pixar is known as a computer animation company, the original computer animation company actually, the truth is they start out every production just like an old fashioned hand-drawn film. Everything from characters to sets all begin as a sketch that goes from pencil to pen on paper before it ever gets animated..."
Alot of people or even design and media students thought that doing 3D animation does not require to do much sketching. They are wrong. Before you do a 3D model or character, you need to sketch out character first, then draw its front, side and back profile onto a character model sheet. Before you do animation, you need to plan and draw the animation sequences into storyboard. Sketching is considered to be the first stage of 3D animation production workflow.
Some of my sketches and storyboard for my unisim final project.
Garak’s background: Garak is a new-born hero who unites all the good characters together and fights against the evil ones. Though Garak is a baby, he is the only one who possesses special amour and weapon to give him great power to battle the villains. He will have to call upon his amour suite when he needs it. A roar of “Garr~” and he gears himself up and ready to fight.
GARAK and GAMA can be friends. Who is GAMA? See my previous post. Haha~!
I love to create, design and develop
characters. Currently, I am developing story

storybook and create short animations. I have
been designing Old Odd Tales fashion and
merchandise too.

- Follow your passion. It will guide you to area where you are good at. Do not worry if is a new area to you, somehow I think you will enjoy it.
- Observe everything in details and analyse what you see.
- Wherever you go, bring along a small notebook, so that you can jolt or sketch down all the interesting stuff you come across. Is even better if you have budget, get yourself a digital camera.
