Animation Art Show

So as always I've been ridiculously busy recently so sorry about the lack of posts. Here's a little work in progress of a piece I've done for the Animation Art Show which happens this weekend (2 & 3 November), called "Cat Idol". I haven't done a lot of paper craft/collage before, but it was fun to do so I might try to get into it some more.

Some amazing art will be auctioned for charity at the show, so if you're around Dublin you should mosey on over to the Science Gallery! www.animationartshow.com

Saturday (!) Doodle

Busy weeks mean I'm posting the Tuesday doodle early this week. These two are form the latest dr sketchy's session in Dublin - the theme was post apocalyptic...

Wolver-doodle

This Tuesday's doodle takes the form of my submission to the Irish Sketch Society sketchblog - the topic "Wolverine"

Overdue doodles

So looks like I've taken a bit of a summer holiday from posting, but I'm back now - this time with a few sketches from Dr Sketchy's Dublin wonderful Metropolis themed session...

Pirate Tuesday

Sorry for the lack of posts lately - work has been pretty full on. Here are a couple of doodles from Saturdays Dublin Dr Sketchy's session. They're pirate drawing so they arrgghhh! (sorry)

Holy Doodle, Batman

No doodles for two weeks - sorry about that - work has been crazy, plus I've been writing when ehat little spare time I have. So here's a quick Batman that I did for the Irish Sketch Society on facebook. Tis the Bat Man... (biro and tippex on paper)

Final life doodle

Stand Up for Life Drawing

More Life drawings - this time standing poses...

Figure doodles

More from Niall Laverty's Gesture Drawing class. This week I invested in an A3 sized brown paper pad - which meant I got to have fun with black and white chalk!

More Life Doodlin'

No post last week - apologies for that - work is pretty crazy at the moment - not too crazy to find time to get a little bit of life drawing done. These are 2-5 min poses using charcoal and felt tip pen for a change!)

Life doodles

More life drawing doodles from a new term of Niall Laverty's Gesture Drawing for Animators class in Trinity. Didn't get too many great drawings out of the evening, but, you know, first day back at it...

Hydey-Hi

This Tuesday's post is late again - sorry about that. Here's a sketch of a Mr Hyde type character I did for a class I'm teaching to students at the Irish School of Animation. I'm teaching the (2D animation software) CelAction. - we've been rigging this fella - which explains the not too pretty T pose!

Pirate doodle

I've been rushed off me feet with work at the moment - intense, but exciting stuff. Here's a slightly older character design for these weeks doodle...

Random Sketch Book Page

Happy New Year 2013 - hopefully this year will be a happy, healthy and busy one for you all. It's already shaping up to me interesting for me - I'm working on an animation podcast - the first episode of which should be released by the end of January - so watch out for that! In doodles this week, I've scanned in a random page of a sketch book...
