The tree and boy both have a rather wide range of values, use  saturated colors, and are low texture. The grass is desaturated, flat, and high texture. Complete opposites!

More school work.

It's a copy of Daniel Lieske of CGsociety.org's art (as seen here : http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/SaboteurGreg/BBall_Art3.jpg). That means that I can't get no credit for composition or ideas or whatever and is only used for my personal education purposes.

Reason I post it is that there's cartoon-worker-type people here and I battle with priority and line weight and rights and wrongs, which some of the lurkers here know things about.

The assignment specifications for this particular drawing was to find a piece of art that demonstrated the principle of hotspots and thirds, which is why three characters are in red. It was one of five drawings for a one-week assignment for one class. Paiiiin in the ass. Anyways.



And just for the hell of it, a small dump of schoolwork animations.

(First 3d anim, 6 months old. Still proud of it, though.)

(2d head rotation, given orthographics and built from there)

(2 hour in-class assignment, "pull on an immobile object". Background layers won't join the AVI, so you can't see the box. Imagine it!)

(Flour sack jump, an assignment I actually found time to do the damn best I could)
http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/SaboteurGreg/?action=view&current=vanderbeek_greg_pull2.flv

(Hop onto a box, hop off, given only the name of a character. I was given permission to try vault through perspective as well, though it was supposed to be side-on. Again, layers didn't make it, so it looks odd.)

Cheers :)

My only concern is that without light and shade, the hotspots make little sense, and i think that the guys in the lower left deserve redness more than the purple or green fellows
A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

I've never really spent much time on photoshop pictures. I'm quite happy with how this image is turning out. Just something to put on my demo reel.



Hrm, what exactly are hot spots?
Is it where your eyes are immediately drawn to in succession?? Because to me me it seems that the hotspot should not be on the guy with the net but on the guy behind him with the fence-like shirt on. Unless I'm mistaken.

Hotspots are the intersections of lines drawn on literal thirds of the canvas space. Your eyes are naturally drawn to those spots for goodness-knows-why!

I'm glad you like it (though it needs a lot more work really and the rider is huge compared to the horse)! Who is Kenta Miura?
