Fashion Illustration- Starry Night

When I saw this Jason Wu dress from the Spring 2013 collection, I just had to draw it. I’m not the most fashion forward person, but I really liked how this dress evoked a starry sky.

Hopefully, I’m improving on my Photoshop painting skills!

Sheep Days

This is my fourth year film as a CalArts Character Animation student. The film is about the troubled life of a hand sewn sheep.

I was inspired by the dog embroidery animation of Aubrey-Long Cook. First, I animated on paper then traced the image on to fabric. I embroidered each frame on green fabric to be keyed out later. The footage was shot with Dragon on an Oxberry. Then, I composited the fabric backgrounds with the animation using After Effects.

I hope you enjoy the film. It was a lot of fun to make.

I'll post making of pictures soon.

The Conductor

Here is my 2nd year film. It is a hand drawn film with After Effects movement for the orchestra. I colored it using Photoshop.
