It's Christmas and like every other year I made a gingerbread house, actually two this year! Here is the first one, a cabin for my dad's company. Loved how this turned out!

Wishing everyone on here a happy Halloween! 🎃

Got my first few whittle commisions recently and here is one of them. Wirt and Greg from Over the garden wall. They turned out so well it was almost hard to give them away but I know my friend will appreciate and take good care of them.

Sketches from the local beach this summer.

Final animation exercise, live action animation. An exercise where we learned to merge animation with live action. My favourite exercise, both then and now.

Second to last animation exercise, another lip sync. This one is based off when my students did lip syncs off old vines, just for the fun of it.

Next animation exercise, lip sync.

Next animation exercise, facial acting. The second part of the acting exercises, here the focus is the face but still how the expressions with together with body language so the body language is still done first without the face.

Next animation exercise, body acting. The first exercise to really embrace the character animation. Always animated without a face to ensure gestures and body posture takes the center stage.

Next animation exercise, animal run cycles.

Next animation exercise, animal walks. Primarily four-legged walks. Did a combination of standard animals and animating the pets of friends

Part 2 of the mood change walk exercise, just the walk cycles.

Next animation exercise, mood change walk, which was to learn walk cycles, reaction times and acting.

Been on holiday, the rest of the animation exercises are coming up cause I got some new inspiration!

Second part of the three part animation exercise about weight, this is push.

Next animation exercise, first one of a three parter, lift, done to learn about weight and impact when moved upwards.

Third animation exercise of my personal animation challenge. This is the dive exercise. To learn anticiparion and overshoot.
