Liesel the Book Thief Expressions & Poses



Liesel Character Design Exploration

Spending 8 weeks on one character design was a great challenge to slow down and explore every aspect and functionality of your character. Here is some of the development sketches I produced in Nate Wragg's CGMA Character Design for Production.

Film Studies for Nathan Fowkes Schoolism

Week 1 of Nathan Fowkes Schoolism Environment Design Class, he asks us to study some of our favourite images, maximum 1hr each and discover the essence of the image. I decided to paint from some of my favourite movies, to challenge myself to learn more about cinematography but to become quicker at colour keys. No tracing and no colour picking, forced me to be smart with my choices and not get caught up with the details. As you can see, I got a little addicted painting these!

A Shadow Of A Doubt
 Forest Gump  Papermoon
  The Good Dinosaur
  Days Of Heaven
  Laurence Of Arabia

Big Bad Wolf redesign

At CTN last year I received some great advice on keeping the Big Bad Wolfs shape design but to push his personality further, so I made him a tad more crazy. Got to keep those big ribs to blow down the piggies houses. Also I included a before and after to see the difference the advice made.
