Office Antics

This is something I did a little while ago to show how much I love my coworkers. I'm pushing myself to do one work-comic per week this year, as a way to practice my cartooning skillzzz. The girls also enjoy reading them in the office, and it's so great to hear them commenting and anticipating the next one! =)

I'm taking Storyboarding this semester, which I've easily fallen in love with. It sounds silly, but quick-drawing is actually one the toughest things I've had to do artistically, putting so much detail with minimal value in the drawings. I just got my third assignment back (storyboarding all camera shots for a commercial) and I got an A! =) Not too shabby, considering our professor assertively mentioned that he rarely gives out A's. Here's page 1:


I feel like I overdid the value, but I'm off to a really good start!

I was supposed to be studying for Art History, but instead I did this. =P

You can guess by the sloppy lighting and camera movements that it didn't take much time for me to do this, and you're right. I wanted to focus on building a life-like relationship with inanimate objects... since I will eventually need to master this craft anyway, as a character animator! I used a digital camera and a tripod to campure about 40 individual frames. The editing could've been better, but meh. Next time!
