It's Christmas!

So I haven't posted anything for quite a while, since we haven't been at the animation workshop for weeks and won't be until three weeks after Christmas. And speaking off Christmas, it's just around the corner. Man I can't believe it has been five months already.

For Christmas I'm going home to my mom and her husband, but I'll be home in Viborg again by the 25th.

And this year I was asked by a former classmate of mine to draw her two dogs as a Christmas present for her fiance. They turned out pretty good, I think. Well that's it for me this time, so Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Just another Croquis lesson... Or is it?

So today we had Croquis again. It was really nice since it's been a while. The other thing that made it a bit more exiting today was that we had a male model for the first time. I must admit that I was a little nervous because I thought that it was gonna be really difficult, but as soon I got a good rythem it went (I think) pretty damn well. Today was also the first time we did 15 min drawings. I really enjoyed that because I could focus a bit more on details. So tomorrow we are gonna have Croquis again and it will be the same model as today, but I won't have time to upload them tomorrow since I'm going home to my sister's place right after school.

Hjertespejl

For the past 3 weeks we have been working on a really big project. In Aarhus there is this play or it's more really a theater concert and the name is "Hjertespejl" or in English "heart mirror" 
The play is built over H.C Andersen’s "Snedronningen" or "The Snow queen"
So there were these assignments and we could just choose which one we wanted to work on. I chose the assignment where there is snow and a bird involved. The assignment was to make a bird fly around and then "explode" in to snow.

I mostly worked on the bird, one from my group helped with the design.
The bird is 100% made of paper, and it took me about 4 days to finish it.

It has really been a great experience
to work on this, and I love how much faith our teacher has in us. She believed that we could actually do this and make it work. I love this school <3

 Our mood board. We were going after a kinda "Limbo" feel to it.

I was watching my teacher's dog one day, Charlie, and I just had to take a picture of him, because he was so cute, just laying there on his back getting his belly scrathed.

 
Song of the day:
Two steps from hell - Skyworld - Back to the earth
This song have been stuck in my head since I bought the album

Birdy

This is our latest school project. Just wanted to upload it, I will write more about it later today.

(Sorry for the terrible quality, premiere was not in a good mood today)

I am a horrible student

Yet again my laziness got the better of me, and I haven’t updated for ages. For starters we have made a short video were we had to make our own interruption of the famous fairy tale "Snedronningen" or the Snowqueen by H.C Andersen. My group worked with the scene were Gerda is trapped in the flower garden.

Date:  10/10 2012 (I wrote a journal that day so I could remember what to write)

So today we started the day with a nice walk. First we visited an art exhibition to see the God of manga Osamu Tezuka. Then we went around the local lake, and we had to draw stuff on the way. I must say walking and drawing at the same time is really
difficult. And after we got around the lake, we found some cows which we had to draw. It was really fun also because we had permission to go in the field with the cows. After we finished drawing cows we went home and had some food, then the group and I worked on our video.
