Nefer’s Sketchbook – Delicate & Detailed Line

Nefer’s Sketchbook – Delicate & Detailed Line

Nefer is a student currently enrolled in my Foundation Drawing Class for Animators. Every Friday I teach at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan New York. This year’s class is something special to say the least.

Nefer is one of the many gifted students who has agreed to share her sketchbook with us. Of course I get to review it each week in class. But sharing it with the World on Youtube is another story.

Nefer’s goal is to become a key frame animator. She also wants to publish her own comic book. I think those are two totally attainable goals for her. Nefer’s character design is pretty interesting to look at. Her line work is super detailed and very delicate. I am very much a big fan of Nefer’s work.

It’s super important to set goals for yourself. Even if they seem so very far away. With constant practice and review Nefer should reach her goals after graduation. Of course she has a lot of work ahead of her. Remember it’s super important to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

I really appreciated being involved in a small part of Nefer’s journey through art college. Nefer is a super nice person with a ton of raw talent. I’m so glad to have her as a student in this year’s class.

Kaelin’s Sketchbook – Fun, Cute N’ Cartoony

Kaelin’s Sketchbook – Fun, Cute N’ Cartoony

Kaelin is a really cool student to have in class. She is super fun, a true lover of animation not to mention really talented. Kaelin’s talent shows true when she is drawing her cute, soft, round cartoony looking characters.

I trust you can see her progress. Her line work has really developed over the course of one short semester. Kaelin is truly blessed with a personal style. Now her job throughout college is to refine, mature and develop that personal style to an even higher level.

I hope you enjoyed looking through Kaelin’s sketchbook. I know I did. I especially love having Kaelin’s infectious appetite for learning every Friday in class.

Ellis’s Sketchbook – Beautiful

Simply put I’m a huge fan of Ellis’s sketchbook. Her work is very fun to look at. Ellis’s line is super slick. Ellis’s characters are drawn with such super descriptive line, it makes you want to just sit and admire them . Ellis’s characters are totally drawn out of her imagination and are absolutely authentic.

The funny thing is that Ellis was not even registered for my class on day one. Ellis joined our class a bit late and I’m really glad she did. Ellis brings so much to the classroom. Her work just has a different look and feel to it. It really inspires everyone in class to find their own authenticity.

Ultimately Ellis wants to become a director. Which basically means she will most likely be drawing less in the future. So for now I’m just going to sit back and enjoy watching Ellis draw in class. I’m also going to enjoy filming her next sketchbook sometime at the end of this semester.

I trust you will find something in Ellis’s sketchbook inspiring. I found her whole process to be inspiring. Both her light construction lines as well as the the look and feel of her finished drawings.

Eunice is a student currently enrolled in my foundation drawing class for animators. Eunice is a blast to have in class. She is always laughing having a good time with her art. Although Eunice is still trying to find her way in first year of college, one thing is for sure, she has definitely improved.

Eunice always does an awesome job with her homework assignments. I’m pretty confident that is what led to her massive improvement

I trust you will enjoy looking through Eunice’s sketchbook. I know I certainly did. I also know you will get a good chuckle at the end of the video.

Sabrina’s Sketchbook

Sabrina’s Sketchbook

Sabrina is a student currently enrolled in my foundation drawing class at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan New York. Sabrina is truly one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. She is truly a joy to have in class.

She is always laughing and smiling. It shows in her work. Her work is very fun to engage with. Her life drawings are big and bold. I love when she draws with a China Marker. Sabrina’s drawings have a ton of motion and energy.

Her sense of color is really cool. I really like how she gives pages in her sketchbook a color theme. Sabrina draws some really interesting shaped characters which is another attribute about her work that I enjoy.

When I check the homework each week Sabrina’s drawings always stand out. I alway gravitate towards her work. She puts a lot of pencil mileage into every sketch she works on.

Thanks so much Sabrina for sharing your sketchbook. Thank you for your fun attitude in class.
