Expressions and Body Language practice - Arrested Development
I've been trying to work on being able to draw more "strong, specific acting." I tried doing some drawings from arrested development. This was the result:
"The warden was intrigued. Less about the stunt and more about the prison beatings this brash young magician was sure to receive":
"Gob set about swallowing the key ..."
"Anything for a buck, Michael. You are so materialistic"
Buster: "Mom said you could tie this for me."
Lucille: "Make it long ... so he doesn't seem so ... round."
Marta: "I said ... career is one thing, but family is forever."
Gob: "To prove that no prison can hold me, I will incarcerate myself in the same penitentiary that holds my father. Only to escape 24 hours later ... No shackles can hold these hands!"
Michael: "I bet you don't even know what the auction is for tonight."
Lindsey: "The Wetlands."
Michael: "Yeah ... to do WHAT with them?"
Lindsey: " .... dry them."
Michael: "SAVE them."
Lindsey: "-from drying!"
(It was soon to be midnight and my boyfriend was starting a movie ... so I got a little lazy on the last few panels of the last one ...)

Acting!
So, yesterday I sent the scene 2 storyboards to a recruiting rep at Disney who I met last April. I said I wanted to re-apply this coming April for their "Talent Development Program" and asked if he could take a look at the boards and see if I was going in the right direction.
He replied pretty quickly and said that the loose drawings and the staging were good and clear. He said I should work on the 'acting', saying that they like to see "strong, specific acting" that would be clear to the animation department further down the pipeline.
This made sense (or at least I think so).

Myst Story Art
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="620" caption="Anna shows Atrus a D'ni book for the first time"]
[/caption]
In the Myst script that I'm writing, Anna first exposes Atrus to the D'ni when he shows her an unusual rock that he's found. She hesitates, then decides to show him a big D'ni volume on geology. This book ignites his interest in the D'ni, and goes with him to D'ni when he finally travels there many years later ...

Sketches from a Bathhouse in San Francisco
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="620" caption="Sketches from a bathhouse in San Francisco"]
[/caption]
In Japantown, San Francisco, there is a communal bathhouse called "Kabuki." I desperately wanted to go, since I hadn't been to one since leaving Japan. The hot bath, the cold bath, the sauna, the steam room ... afterwards, you feel like a million dollars!
After an hour's happy bathing, I had curry rice for lunch and did these sketches.

I went to San Francisco for a few days, accompanying my boyfriend for the AGU conference. We stayed at the "Queen Anne" hotel in Japantown. The Queen Anne used to be a school for girls. It was very adorably decorated with Christmas gear. I drew some of the fancy pieces of furniture.
We also went to the Academy of Sciences museum, ergo the wild dog, toad, ibex and the stingray.

Myst Book of Atrus Sketches
Little sketches based on Myst The Book of Atrus (by Rand and Robyn Miller, with David Wingrove).
First row: Young Atrus and Anna
Second row: Atrus leaves the Cleft
Bottom: "Action" Atrus! Catherine. Atrus and Catherine together.
My favorite book in the whole world! I'm creating a screenplay version as a side project. Hopefully some day I'll get to produce it!

Sketches from TV and Movies

Sketches from watching TV. The line-up from the last few weeks included:
-Arrested Development. (I'm in love with Jason Bateman!!!!)
-The Sting
-Sense and Sensibility
-The Princess Bride ("Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.")
-The Office (UK Version)
-Anastasia
-Planet of the Apes
Oh, and the bottom is just kind of tacked on ... those are sketches from books. They are related in the sense that they were done with the tv on.
Oh, and the zebra that looks like a mouse ... I just threw that in because I liked him. ^__^
