The Red Car storyboard based on Tullio Crali painting 'Forces of the Bend'.

As part of my second semester I'm looking into Futurist paintings for inspiration and ideas for creating short experimental clips of animation. I'd like to try and implement ideas and concepts from Futurism into the design and execution of these pieces of animation but to start with I thought I'd have a go at animating one of my favourite Futurist paintings, 'Forces of the Bend' by Tullio Crali.




As dynamic in design as it is bold in it's use of colour, I have created a basic storyboard of the painting by splitting it up into layers using Adobe Photoshop. Here I have imagined a car speeding around the corner and interacting with the giant lines of force. 



I'm yet to try and animate this but when I do I'll be importing the layers from Photoshop into Adobe After Effects. I will keep you updated with a follow up once I've had chance to develop this idea.

'Mastering lighting and shading' - a new online course and illustration...

Image
After I reworked the facial features in the Briar turnaround Kieran suggested I also look into different types of lighting and try to improve the coloured Briar pose by creating a scene and adding some directional light.  This led me to watch another online course by 21 Draw... This was fantastic and gave me a whole new workflow to learn. I also researched some characters from Star Wars for reference... ...then went on to design the illustration at the top of the page.

Adding colour to the Keith Haring mural animation...

Image
  Above is a colour test for how the final animated clip of the Keith Haring mural will look. This was made using both Procreate and Photoshop.  In Procreate I created a new layer below the one above and using the Script brush I selected colours from the photo of the original mural that Keith Haring painted in the Palladium, the image is below... As you can see I only used the top half of the mural in this design. With regards to the colour I started by selecting a pink/purple and drawing an outline for the sections that were going to be filled with this colour. I then selected the nearest shade of blue and did the same again and so on with each colour until I'd created a fully interlocked outline. Before doing this I decided I'd join up each section of colour because I had to take into consideration the fact the characters were jumping into shot one at a time and none of them are obviously in their final positions to start with and I didn't want areas of white in the backg...
