swetha's art work

 It's been a while... busy with life, new ideas coming and going... so finally putting up a couple here:

 At Conestoga College, I had a assignment that involved a physical sketchbook ONLY, (no digital sketching): Sketchbook Prompts. We were given a prompt, and we had to come back next week with about 15 drawing related to that prompt. Some of the prompts were:       Expressive Hands      Expressive Eyes       Zoo Expression      Hybrid Creations      Environmental Spirits      Man-made Objects as Characters      Gestural Body Language      Mouth Shapes for Lip Sync Animation

 As part of a sketchbook assignment from Sheridan College, I chose to study some famous characters of Animators from Walt Disney Animation Studios. DISCLAIMER: THIS STUDY WAS SOLEY FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT WAS INTENDED. The animators and characters I chose are: Glen Keane - Pocahontas, Tarzan, Aladdin, Beast         Andreas Deja - Jafar, Scar, Gaston       James Baxter - Belle, The Ballroom Dance, Rafiki, Quasimodo          

 First, let me say that I love the entire process of making an Animated Film, always have.  But my strengths have always been towards the Pre-Production part of it more the others: Visual Development, Concept Art, Storyboarding and Character Design. To showcase these skills, I have created a new website:  https://swethasubramaniam1.wixsite.com/artportfolio

 A model wearing a costume taught me how to draw the cloth and more importantly, how to make it flow and drape around a body:

 I went the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, as part of a class field trip, to draw animals. Real or Cartoon looks, I seem to draw animals better:

 I usually avoid doing portraits because they never come out good. But these came out better than I expected:
