Week Nine: It's all over but the crying

Wow. That was fun. For the past nine weeks I shared the rarefied air of one Stephen Silver, a real gen-yew-ine character designer in the animation industry. And was I scared? Nervous? Intimidated?

Damn straight I was.

Let me tell you, boys and girls. Take his course. Learn from the man. My previous posts don't really indicate how far Stephen's brought me along -- the past two months I've done literally hundreds of sketches and exercises, trying to hone the skills I've let atrophy. Suffice it to say I'm not the same erratic doodler I was. Whereas I was once wretched, I'm close to becoming mediocre. Kangaroo leaps, people!

The final project was to reimagine, finish and color the "Fat Joe" project from Week One. Compare those initial sketches with this one, then sign up for the course. Now.
