Cintiq work doodles

I don't currently have a working scanner, so right now the only drawings I can post are ones that are drawn directly into the computer. That means work doodles! At Nickelodeon they have us drawing on cintiqs, which are really cool. Most of these are crappy doodles drawn mindlessly while on the phone or taking breaks.


My pal Fred showed me a way to animate using painter, so I've been playing with that a little. It doesn't work that well though...you can't time it or anything. Or maybe I'm just using it wrong. My favorite failed animation attempt is this girl dancing and playing the guitar. I would have posted the actual animation, but as I said it didn't work that well and popped all weird. Here are a few of the cuter poses from it though.
Right now I'm working on a show called El Tigre, which will be airing on Nick on March 3rd. My favorite character to draw on the show is cute blue haired Frida, designed by the lovely Sandra Equihua ( http://www.fulanita.com/ )! If you're curious about the show, go check it out on the nickelodeon website! Here is my own version of Frida:
Sorry I haven't got anything too interesting to post! I'm keeping most of my personal projects secret for the time being. Also, I'm getting pretty tired of just drawing one loopy pose after another on blank paper. I've been trying to get better at drawing functional drawings, which means I have to work on stuff like construction and perspective and crap. Those practice drawings would be boring to look at, and my progress is slow. So it might be a while before I have anything entertaining to show!

Ok, bye!
