My first REAL week

Last week was a fake week since we didn't really have to do anything, but as it turns out, real weeks are good too! I had some trouble finding good people to draw since it wouldn't stop raining and my car is broken, but it was fun trying to be creative with boring poses and playing with gimpy-proportioned Stu.

The Q and A was great again, and Elliot joined early which made for some good times. I also learned some useful things about how to approach my sketching, like exaggerating on the fly and redrawing for more readability and emotion. Oh, and he mentioned watching Hudsucker Proxy and Glengary Glenn Ross for good acting, which I'm writing here so that if I lose the paper I wrote those titles on (again) I still know what to rent!

The pose I decided to turn in is the talking/explaining one, although the dreamy one seemed more popular. I just couldn't turn something in that has twinning, but I feel pretty good about the submitted pose too.

Thanks to anyone who posted on my workspace btw! I was all disappointed and concerned that I wouldn't get any responses since I didn't post anything until noon Saturday, but again everyone was suspiciously nice and I got a ton of very kind and useful comments.

Anyways, next week is the big week where we actually start animating! We have to pose Stu AND make a ball bounce, which is very scary. I'm not even kidding, I think it's gonna be hard! Wish me luck :)
