Greetings!
For those of you who attended, you know that ASLN's night with Randy Haycock was a blast! For those who didn't attend, you're about to get insight on that one eventful night :) The Purple Crit Room was bursting at the seams with people who were privileged enough to get to know Randy better and receive valuable animation tips from him.
Besides showing us his previous 2-D animation work and even bringing us through a live demonstration on animating on paper, Randy Haycock provided us with some great tips on building our animation skills and portfolio. You guys who weren't there for his presentation: you're in luck because we're going to give you the tips right here. This is good stuff!
Tip #1: Take your sketchbook and bring it everywhere (that has people) with you
Tip #2: Observe, take notes & sketch what you see!
Tip #3: The power of observation is very important! When you see something interesting, write it out, draw it out or find a way of remembering it.
Tip #4: Don't just see who the people are around you... watch how they are!
Tip #5: Why is it important to be observant? Because we're trying to tell a story... a story that relates to people. All art is about communication, therefore the audience has to be able to relate to your work. This is the key to success as an artist!
We hope you guys learned something from Randy, whether or not you went to the event! Stay tuned for more guest speakers in the future!
