KSENYA'S HAND DRAWINGS


Here's a couple of great drawings from another recent Workshop graduate.

Ksenya Pluto made these drawings for use in both her Sheridan and the Seneca portfolios.

NICE DRAWINGS KSENYA!!

MORE LISA WANG!!






Here's some other photos from Lisa's Sheridan portfolio.
You're looking at a few of the main life drawing choices, an animal drawing, and the set of object drawings.

LISA WANG'S SHERIDAN PORTFOLIO








Here's a couple of photos of one of this year's Workshop students, Lisa Wang, diligently doing the layout of the optional pages for her Sheridan portfolio.
The drawings posted here are some of the examples of the optionals that finally made into her portfolio after ten months of constant drawing and careful selection of portfolio piece's.
WAY TO GO LISA!!!
NICE WORK!!

PHOTOS FROM OUR LAST CLASS


Here's a few pics from our last Workshop class of the season......several notes of explanation are in order....
In the large group photo, the man who is half naked, with glasses, an orange scarf , and holding a blue stuffed octopus is not one of our students, he's actually one of our favourite life drawing models.
In the second smaller group photo, it appears that one of our students has struck it rich, much to the envy of his colleagues....we were assured that the money was "come by" honestly.
Best of luck to everyone in their animation school pursuits!
-Gerard
