Tigger this

It's been nearly two weeks since the start of the semester and the buzz word has been Bounce. I'm taking Environment Design, Comic Art, Character Design, Matte Painting, Back to Figure Drawing and 2D Visual Effects. Of course, I have the Utama project on the side to deal with too. I've been drawing quite a bit, and working on something that I've not really paid attention to - bounce light! Almost every class I've attended has left that word ringing in my ears.

Above is my Matte Painting teacher giving me a lesson on being patient. Especially for leaves on a tree, one has to draw in the leaves digitally one at a time. You have more control that way in the flow and energy of the tree, rather than just using an automatic "leaf" brush. Well, lots to draw and many more things ahead to learn!

:O)

A day in the life of...

One of the classes I am taking this semester is Comic Art. Ha! I'm not really a comicky person. The Hong Kong series Lao Fu Zhi is what I read most as a youngster. No words only pictures. Well, according to my instructor, Comic Art is the high point of Art. As a comic art illustrator, one must have in depth knowledge to Anatomy, Costumes, Hair, Background, Drama, etc...

I have much to learn in this class! First assignment, a coverpage and colour splash layout!

And finally... The Lion King Musical will finally roar its way to our shores this coming March! It took Singapore quite a bit of time to bring them in since their first broadway opening in 1997! It's the musical event for the year. I usually don't make such statements, if you know me. ;o) Anyone working at OCBC that can get good rates?

Hakuna Matata!
