Basil Refined
Further exploration and refinement of designs for Basil, the main character of my second year animated film for the UCLA Animation Workshop. I decided that these character designs were too short in height.
Finding Basil
With the start my second year at UCLA’s Animation Workshop, work is in progress on designing our second year animated films. The drawings above are preliminary explorations of possible character designs for my main character, Basil.
Monster and Me: Dog Poo
I might do a series of these, ‘Monster and Me’ comics or narratives. Pen and ink and photoshop.
Papoose and Bear: Papoose Character
This is the main character, Papoose, from my animated film, ‘Papoose and Bear.’ The top image is the final character design colored in photoshop. The lower image is the model sheet.
Papoose and Bear: Teddy Character
Finished coloring the Teddy character from my animated film, ‘Papoose and Bear.’ Combination of hand drawn and photoshop color.
Papoose and Bear: Bird Character
Today I finished coloring the Bird character from my animated film, ‘Papoose and Bear.’
The top image shows the final character designs created in photoshop. The middle image shows the individual painted sculpey forms (used in the final photoshop designs). The lower image shows the original model sheet.

At the top is the model sheet, in the middle are the painted sculpey forms, and at the bottom is the final bear character created in photoshop using the sculpey forms.
Christmas Card
This is my Christmas Card design for this year. I began the card design with acrylic paint on watercolour paper. I haven’t painted in a while so this project seemed like a good place to start.
The image below is the original acrylic painting.
I wasn’t really happy with my colours or edges in the original painting so I scanned the painting and reworked the design in Illustrator.
