| Quick loose sketches |
I've been trying to get back on the horse of animating lately. I got super lazy after my wedding, honeymoon, and other big life things, so I've scheduled myself 2-3 hrs a night after work to sit down and animate, plus more time on weekends, and I'm working on a new dialogue shot. It worked pretty well months ago when I tried it. This time though, I want to incorporate some drawing as well. Drawing well is pretty important to me and I just don't do it enough in CG animation even though it's one of the 12 founding principals. I'll still be animating mostly in Maya for the foreseeable future, but I believe good drawings are essential for good animation.

| EWJ study with some correction notes |
I'm studying construction drawing, on the advice of
John K, which I've never really practiced seriously. I've done a little out of the Preston Blair book but then I remembered I had this construction sheet of one of my favorite cartoon characters; Earthworm Jim! I'll keep studying out of both the Preston Blair book and other model sheets I can find.
I got these refs from Mike Deitz' blog
slappypictures.blogspot.com. He's one of the original animators on the game and there's a ton of original stuff there.

You can see how far off my drawing is
