Flash Cleanup

Flash Cleanup Test from wesleyriot on Vimeo . This was a pencil test of one of the scenes from the film I animated for my BA in 2007, at GCADT. I decided to take it into Flash and try cleaning up and colouring it; this is the result. Thoughts?

Stalled

What have I been up to the last few months then? Art wise, nothing much. No animation projects going on. A design few commissions here and there. Criw Celf is dead (at least in Merthyr Tydfil). Mostly I've been using my time to read and to try and get better at photography (example above). I've been using the same DSLR for 10 years now, and it's only this year I've made a serious effort to try and learn how to better use Lightroom for editing and post processing. In fact I've made a whole blog just to post photos and nothing else, as well as my Instagram photography account which has been hanging around for years now. Recently I was at my Dad's and he made me watch the bits of Roadhouse that had Conor McGregor in. Afterwards, I did a quick doodle form memory, which you can see above. I enjoyed that, but honestly I haven't drawn anything since.

Criw Celf Workshop 1

Last week I assisted on two free workshops for kids, in Merthyr, run by Criw Celf. The first one, led by Amanda Turner, was a two day oil painting workshop for kids around 14-19. We didn't know how it was going to go, as this was the first one we'd done, but overall I think it was a success - even though the children were so shy they barely said a word! They did however turn out some great paintings, with Amanda showing them on the first day how to create a black & white underpainting focusing on values (with acrylic paint, as she realised that oils would still be wet on the second day!), and on the second day showing them how to mix colours using just five pigments (with water mixable oils, so no solvents!) and then finishing off their masterpieces. To be fair to them, they all worked really hard, and even the ones who didn't finish - because they were working on such detailed landscapes - took some paint home with them to finish them off. In fact I think pretty much...
