Make what you imagine.

2011-03-01T07:00:00.000-08:00

This was a fun project. It's a design for me and my imaginary friend. I've actually never had an imaginary friend as a child, but I was pretty good at making friends. I guess real friends are just better.

This guy is inspired by Daft Punk and FLCL. The toolbox is based off my own box, and the kid with the big hair was me at about 7 years old.

Textures

2011-02-28T08:35:00.000-08:00

I'm taking a drawing for animation class. It's a lot of fun, so I'm going to start posting updates more consistently on what I've done. Feel free to leave a comment if you feel inclined.

This is a texture study. from top to right: grease burnt onto a cookie sheet, sand, finger print, bark, scales, feathers, plaster, fried chicken, and brick wall.

Me

2010-09-15T16:31:00.000-07:00

I've just started taking animation classes. Life has been busy and I haven't taken the time to update this blog in forever. So here's a little assignment from my storyboarding class. We had to draw self portraits and write a paper about who we are as story tellers. I'm not going to put the paper on here but here are the drawings. They depict common expressions that I use that some people might recognize on me.

Climbing

2010-05-27T15:53:00.000-07:00

I really like to rock climb, but hardly ever get the chance and the equipment can be pricey for my wallet. So here's some sketches of photos of people climbin'. Climbers give you the coolest poses. And that's the end of that sketchbook.

My Little Brother

2010-05-27T15:49:00.000-07:00

This is Richie Petty. He's my brother and he plays the drums with mad skill.

2010-05-27T15:42:00.000-07:00

Turtles and rats seemed like something fun to draw after I watched some of the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies. That was a trip.

2010-05-27T15:37:00.000-07:00

There's no reason necessary to draw ninjas, they're just way cool. This one protects people in the subways of England as an urban ninja.

More Empirates

2010-05-27T15:32:00.000-07:00

They won battle of the bands in the Wilk by the way. They've got a great stage presence and a cool sound.

EMPIRATES

2010-05-27T15:19:00.000-07:00

This is a local band called Empirates. Scott Manning is the bassist. I heard of them because he's a friend of mine. They're pretty new and I like their stuff. If you want to, keep an eye out for them at the Velour. They've played there quite a few times, and they're better every time.

2010-05-27T15:17:00.000-07:00

Hey. It's the rhino head from the Bean Museum.

2010-05-27T15:12:00.000-07:00

This is an old mission companion. I served with him for two transfers and a week. That's the longest I have ever served with anyone, and he was one my favorites. It was a blast to serve with Elder Snow. He's married now. You rock Dan.

2010-05-27T15:02:00.000-07:00

So this is some stuff from my sketchbook that help get me into the animation program at BYU. I got a lot of the animals from the Bean Museum and the bird were from photos. I basically get everything from real life or photos of real life. I hope you like it. It was a long and fruitful project that taught me a lot.

Animation Final

2009-12-20T19:19:00.000-08:00

This was what I turned in for my animation final. I hope Kelly likes it. He's my teacher.

Ruff and Tuff Afro Puff

2009-12-20T19:14:00.000-08:00

This was a walk cycle. I got an A on the first time. Yay. I can't get it to cycle though. Oh well.

My Ball Bounce

2009-12-20T19:00:00.000-08:00

This was the ball bounce assignment for the intro to animation class.

hhrryeeaah!

2009-08-14T15:07:00.001-07:00

This is my good friend Aric. He's funny and plays the drums real good. The drawing's sort of a belated in-honor-of-said-friend's-birthday thing. Also, I'm trying to switch to the bolder medium of ink... It's a work in progress.

Sunday Siesta

2009-08-13T17:20:00.000-07:00

Sunday Siestas are the best. Here's a few quick sketches from last Sunday. That's Katelyn writing in her journal and Marie striking a pose. They're two friends of mine.

I'd like to clean these drawings up in the future. I'll post them again when I do. Drawing from life is really hard.

2009-08-06T18:04:00.000-07:00

So Marie came up to me the other day and say's, "make me some waffles". And I almost told her no, but I thought of a better idea. I decided to make her waffles and told her they would look delicious. Here they are. Look at 'em and their tasty goodness. Mmmmmmm...

Summer Memories

2009-08-05T21:42:00.000-07:00

Summer break is awesome. Besides work and a few other everyday things, there's not much to worry about. You just sit there and chill on the grass or take a ride out on the open road. There are no words to describe the freedom. It's just hangin' out with friends and takin' it easy.

Above: That's Hyrum at the weekly Sunday Siesta. All are welcome to join the group at 5:30 P.M. 'til the sun goes down. It's on the grassy field south of the CB. Be warned that I my draw you whether you're watching me or not. But just relax and chill on the grass with our group of about 20 friends.

Below: That's Kelsey riding with Aric on his Harley. Me and Hyrum were following them to Park City. We didn't have time to do anything when we got there but it was a fun trip. Park City was a neat place. It felt like you were meant to visit and look at it, but weren't suppose to live there. I think it was because it was like a small rich suburban neighborhood right next to a nice mall/town center. It was kinda strange but cool.

N207

2009-08-05T21:16:00.000-07:00

This is my roommate Kurt when he's tired. He's easy to draw. Sometimes you can catch him just laying there motionless for hours. Be careful when you wake him up. He won't know where he is or what's happening for a good minute. Now that's a party animal for ya.

Llama Fest

2009-08-05T20:54:00.000-07:00

I went with Hyrum, Katelyn, and Aric to the Llama fest a while ago. It was at the Hari Krishna temple. This is what I got in my sketch book from the experience. I don't know which llama won the competition but number 27 was my favorite. Go llama go.

Person Man

2008-10-03T22:25:00.000-07:00

I made this.
