My next shot is going to include both ballie and stewie. They approach a wall with only a rope to climb. They have no arms, but will conquer the wall!

plan/block v1: very rough. Mainly focused on timing and idea.

Strength Poses

aleeCO — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 18:06:25 +0000

This week’s pose is strength! I drew some new ones today (poses 1-6), but the others are from another sketch entry (I pulled what I think would be interesting to bring into 3D).
I thought about strength in both individual and team-based terms.

This week’s emotion is “devastation”

“Strong” poses

aleeCO — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 23:46:21 +0000

Thinking about physical strength today (I was talking to people about marathons and obstacle courses), so I drew sketches of climbing, running, being strong, and any consequences of the like… got some good poses down

Alphabet Stu

I was thinking about lines of action for poses…then just about lines in general. I decided that I would try to match pose lines to something familiar, so how about the lines of alphabet letters? This was trickier than I thought, but I got some strong poses out of doing this

lazy Sunday

Drew these after playing with my cat at home. Later the sleeping cat inspired the sleepy people drawings. The following drawings are more poses that would be good as a silhouette.

Loose sketches

aleeCO — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 03:05:18 +0000

Decided to try some exaggerated poses that may look good as a silhouettes. When I was drawing the first ones bent over, it reminded me of an old man…(that’s what inspired the next drawings

Body sketches – Talking with your hands

Talk with your hands. You’re a more interesting story-teller

Studles (Stu doodles)

aleeCO — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 16:36:14 +0000

Today I sat in a couple different places and sketched stu based on the people around me. Again, there’s no particular emotion or theme in mind –just doodling to doodle
