These are some drawings that i've done over the past week. I've tried to sit down for at least a couple of hours a night after work and just draw, and this is the result. I've mainly focused on different expressions and attitudes so I hope this is clear.

I've also been looking at Sandro Cleuzo's work, which I find very inspiring. He is an animator at Disney at the moment but has worked on films like Anastasia and Asterix and Obelix. If you wish to check him out, which I definately reckon you should, here is a link to his blog: http://inspectorcleuzo.blogspot.com.

The drawings of the top hatted gentleman are direct copies of Sandro's work, I just thought i'd include them as I think the design is perfect. After I drew them I added in the lines of action in order to get a feeling of what the character was doing in the image.

These are some of the preliminary drawings of the colonel that I did before starting to animate. Some of the single head shots were used to work out mouth shapes and expressions.

This is a little test animation that I've coloured on photoshop after hand drawing it. I've coloured it so that the construction lines show through. I love the rough feel of line animation and want to capture it in colour.

I recently did some work for an animation and production company called Square Zero based in London. The project was for a mobile phone company's training video and was produced using Toon Boom. I had great fun doing it and being at Square Zero. There are some exciting and innovative things going on there at the moment and it was a real privilege to work with them. If you wanna check them out then see this link www.squarezero.co.uk.

This is the animation that i did. I animated a large percentage of the main character, which i think turned out really well.
