Canada Guy

So, I started my animation studies a few days ago and I began thinking about a new character that I can develop into 3D. I'll keep working on this character and will be uploding some new designs soon. Hope you guys like it. AG

Life Drawing

Before & After

I thought it would be great to post some of my really old drawings so you'd be able to see the process of what I've been through over the last year as an artist, and hopfully it will help you in one way or another. I can see how much I improved since I started my studies at The Animation Academy, that was about a year ago on last September. The Animation Academy was the first school that I attended, it was a dream of mine for years, I used to dream every night about going to that school and studying with the most amazing artists over there for years and it finally came true last year and I'm so so very much happy about it.

Ok, so the drawing on the left is the very first drawing that I did at The Animation Academy about a year ago, and the one on the right is recent. I've learned and grew as an artist so much ever since I started over at The Academy thanks to Charles Zembillas the main instructor and founder of the school.

The drawing on the left I did about 2-3 years ago, I really didn't have any idea what I was doing lol. The one on the right is recent.

I'd like to thank The Animation Academy and Charles Zembillas for all the help. Thank you for the amazing job that you do with your students!

A lot of the top artists in the industry used to take classes at The Animation Academy. Artists such as:

Steve Silver
John Nevarez
Jose Lopez
Chris Ayers
Andre Medina
Chance Raspberry

And the list goes on and on and on, there are so many more.

Be sure to check out the Academy's website:

Well hope you enjoyed this post. I'll upload some new stuff soon. AG

Having Fun... I Guess

Me and my sis having some fun after I got back home from work! I've been working for more than 12 hours today! I gotta stop working 12-13 hours everyday! Man, I've been awake for more than 24 hours now, Jeez. lol

First time I use Oil colors and Gouache

Ok, I thought it was about time for me to learn how to use different colors such as Oil colors and Gouache and stuff like that so I went to store today and I bought some cheap Oil\Gouache colors just so I can learn the basics, so this is my first painting using Gouach and Oil colors. It's nothing fancy but I think it came out pretty good for a first time. Hope you guys like it. AG

Turnarounds

Some more facial expressions

Meet Hans Sierra the Sherrif

I started developing this character for my schoolism assignment, I did some facial expressions of this guy and I'm still working on it, Well I will upload some more facial expressions soon. Hope you guys like it. AG

Just a quick drawing I did. It was an idea that I had in mind for a long time, it suppose to be a warrior with a snake on each arm, the snakes are under his control, they serve him and he uses them as a weapon and the cloth that he's wearining suppose to be very simple and cool, I really want to develop this character more, maybe even develop it into 3D. Hope you guys like it. AG

Cartoony Hands

I'd like to dedicate the following drawings to Torsten Schrank, one of my fav artists of all time! Thank you so much for your help and everything! =) I really appreciate it. AG

Some quick sketches

Just having some fun, playing a little bit with pens and some colors.

I did some quick sketches while I was waiting at the bank today. Wasn't trying to create anything "special", just did it for fun. Hope you guys like it. AG

Well, tried my best with these drawings. I'll start coloring this guy pretty soon so I think it would look even better once it's colored. I'd like to thank one of my favorite artists of all time for helping me out with my character designs. Thank you so much TS for showing me how to draw the 3\4 view of my character. I know how busy you are so thank you so much for your time. It's really all thanks to you.

HaVinG FuN

Done! I think it came out pretty good but still, I know I can do so much better.

Just a random sketch from my sketch book, I'm going to color it pretty soon. I'll upload it when I'm finished. Hope you guys like it, AG.
