Well Im about as fast as the oldie at the begining of this post. I wanted to hit my goal of gettin something animated posted. ( Only blockin and terrible blockin at that....) But I got something before the end of July....... Gonna rework a couple things on it, but Im pretty slow at animating so it might be a while.So, basically Im on this new kick of setting goals. Couple goals for next month. ( Dare I say/ write them out loud? )
Goal numero uno: Get my sketchy book finished...sigh
Goal number 2: Post a sketch a day for the "whole" month of August.
Whew! As I wrote those down I kept typing the word "try" at the begining of them. I'll leave it at small ones for now seein as Im one of those people who gets easily overwhelmed about nothing..
Pray for me and keep on keepin on!

A sketch a day? Mel, you better not be teasing. You've got me excited now.
Go, Go, Go! Great work as usual sir.
What he said, Go-Go-Go!!
I like the idea of writing down your goals. Whether they are big or small it definitely helps to write down your goals.
Woohoo! August sounds like a fun month! Looking forward to the sketches...the ones on this post are great yet again :)
August is lookin like a good month, hope you hit that goal
Mel nice clip selection!
For me a couple of the hand positions are a bit weird cuz they're pretty flat towards camera so they almost disappear.
Have you ever tired using the AAU Norman rig from the Pixar classes. It's free and on line now.

My next shot that I'm planning I'm gonna use him.
I've heard he doesn't have the knee and elbow popping that Bishop does.
A sketch a day? for a month? I'll be checking here everyday now! I tried a sketch a day for challenge for a week, I didn't stop for 6 months. Oh the good old days.
