Hello TV-Land! Nothing that new or exciting on this end, just some doodles as of late.

Highlights of my Life Drawing Portfolio

2009-04-07T08:41:00.001-07:00

Welcome one and all.

This post is essentially highlights from my final life drawing portfolio during my second year at Max the Mutt Animation School in Toronto, Ontario, with some other drawings thrown in as well. I could have posted so many more drawings I've done, but I'd rather have you leave thinking that every drawing I do has this same level of quality.

These first two are silly pre-class warm-ups that unfortunately came out better than most of my drawings from this year.

This is where the work comes in. This collection of exercises includes: extended tonal, anatomical studies with bone and musculature overlays, a pelvis and ribcage extended study, quick running-line and extended gestures, quick contour, silhouette w/ contour, and a box form tossed in for good measure. Understand that I had quite a few pictures to post, and due to my general apathy there is entirely no sense of order.

I'm pleased with my year of work but in the end I understand these are just exercises; it's the application of these concepts in my future work which is the real goal. It's like playing scales, and then knowing how to manipulate them in the context of a song. These are just really long, arduous, agonizingly repetitive scales.

My name is David Convery.

This is my reserved space for an online portfolio and any other shameless self-promotion which I may feel inclined to throw your way.

I'm finishing up two years of animation studies at Max the Mutt Animation School in Toronto, and then moving on home to Vancouver for a one intensive year in film and Classical Animation.

This is me when i had pink eye; I really was that sad.---->

All the work that i'm posting is
from my two-year stint at Max the Mutt, which is predominantly a fine arts school that tries to hide under the guise of an animation/sequential art/concept art college. Don't consider this in any way as a form of resent or ill-will towards the school, simply an opinion, and since this is my blog i have no hesitation in saying so.
.

I also apologize for the crappy quality of these pictures; i'm poo and don't have a scanner.

This was just supposed to be a quick post, so I'll leave but I'll put up more stuff sooner than later. Right now i should be doing layout homework.

So I'll leave on a high note:
