Finally got the majority of my portfolio to Sheridan College's animation program, looking for some last minute crit and critique. I still have to do the animal life drawing and storyboards, and lightbox everything but the observational human life drawings. Any crit and critique to push my portfolio up is strongly encouraged:
Observational Human Life Drawings:
Personally this is the category that I am most worried about, and that I feel is my weakest due to lack of experience.
Life Drawings (Hands):
Have to fix the line quality and the performance so it's both functional and easily legible (the ball placed was a placeholder until I thought of a proficient idea). I'm thinking of placing a fly into the scene and having the hand portray itself as a swatting motion.
Animation Turnaround:
All are plotted in perspective relatively correctly so it should be fine. When lightboxing I plan to fix the tracks on the profile to the simpler design, and clean up the linework considerably.
Expressions:
Pretty satisfied with how this turned out, main thing I'm worried about is the extent that the emotion is easily read.
Construction and proportion wise they seem fine.
Action Poses:
Upon lightboxing I plan to fix the room proportions so they match by multiplying the space that my character sits in to the door in the second pose and then matching that with the first pose. As always line quality and general cleaning up will have to be done.
Layout:
I'll probably end up redoing or greatly dramatizing the second piece when lightboxing and cleaning it up. The black is spilled ink, and I will have to place the ink running more carefully the second time through.
Room Line Drawings:
Gotta clean up the line quality the next run through.
Not sure what I'm going to do for personal works. Since it's weighted so little I think I'll end up using some pieces that did not make it into my portfolio as additional personal works.
Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the way that everything turned out and I hope that I have a decent shot at getting in. Again, any crit and critique is greatly appreciated.
