Day 106: Testing out a pencil brush

Day 106:

 Quick sketch to try out a new pencil brush I found on Animation Tidbits’s blog ( http://animationtidbits.tumblr.com/post/74287603926/kyletwebster-the-most-realistic-pencil ) It’s a pretty good tool, but I think I should warn you all: It’s a mixer brush, not a standard Photoshop Brush. So it’s a lot more taxing on your computer hardware. I couldn’t get the brush to be very big at all without it lagging pretty badly, which I can’t stand. So unless you have a pretty powerful machine or only work small-scale (this sketch was drawn at 18x24, and I usually work much larger) you might want to think twice about it. 

That said, it’s a really great sketching tool and I’d say definitely worth the $1 I paid for it. Can’t wait to try it out on my rig at home.

Day 68: Company: The Tale of Herb

Day 68: Some work I did for a children's book project.

You can hear the story be narrated by me here:

Day 36: T-Rex Model

Day 36:

A sculpture of the T-Rex skeleton from the Museum of Natural History. It’s been my favorite thing about NYC ever since I was a child and it always  will be.

I used paper clay, and the base is made out of the museum’s pamphlets. If you see it in person you can see the floor plan and everything.

We were supposed to ONLY use paper for this project, but once it was over I just painted the base. You can still see the floor plan, but now the dinosaur and the base are clearly distinguishable. 

I would’ve posted this sooner but when the project was over, before painting the base, I tore off like half the paper clay from his ribs and his entire right (our left) foot. I wasn’t going to post him until he was finished, and now he is!

Anyways, I worked hard on this. I hope you guys like it!
