More Giraffe Drawings

Been thinking a lot about my main character for my film. Lots of work to do still on new story, but excited about the new direction. It will be locked this summer (finally). I think it will be solid enough to proceed to layout/ animation (full on production). Boy, my hand/ wrist is going to hurt getting back into drawing shape. Really love the traditional hand drawn look. So excited to get back into production on a film. Getting close! But, story, Story, STORY is SOOOOO important that I want to make sure I have it right before I dive into animation.

Library Book Sales

I always stop by the local Worthington libraries to see what books they have for sale. I will sometimes buy four illustrated kids books for a dollar (good reference material) and will always grab a film and tv book if its there for a dollar. Today, I found 'The Men Who Would Be King', a story about the birth of Dreamworks.   Looking forward to going through this one.

Giraffe Sketches

Working on changing my main character to a female giraffe. Pushing the look/ design a bit away from the cartoony.

New Giraffe???

Taking a new approach to my story and the lead giraffe may change gender and get a makeover. This is he direction I'm leaning.
