FIRST ANIMATION EXERCISES

I have uploaded some of the first animation exercises that i did on the school. These exercises were very useful in order to learn how to apply the animation principles. They are the typical walk cycle, lipsync, etc..very amateur as well!

PICS OF MY FIRST STOP MOTION ANIMATIONS

I want to post some pics of our first animations as students in Fine Arts and in the animation school. The animations and the characters used to be very simple, and also we didn´t have a good animation software, so we couldn´t see the frame before the pose in which one we were working. But anyway, we enjoyed a lot making the sets and the puppets and trying to animate in the czech way :). I only have these pics, because the animations are in VHS...

EARLY WORKS 02

More early drawings that I did for a personal project in the university. It was a comic with a very dark atmosphere, inspired in Lovecraft tales and cosmic horror literature. The name was " The Dreamers"...when I take a look now to them, I think that maybe I was so negative in that time of my life : )

EARLY WORKS 01

I think is better if I start my blog with my early works.

These are some drawings of my time as student in Fine Arts, for an own project about the Lord of the Rings. All of them were drawing with traditional artistic tools; pencils, brushes, watercolours...because at that time there was no photoshop. The illustrations are very amateur, but I like to see them now and remember those times, when my partners and me were drawing all the evenings in the university´s coffeeshop... were good times!

Hello everybody!!

Welcome in my blog. My name is Santi López and I´m a spanish animator. I live in Valencia, a beautiful spanish city in the side of the mediterranean sea, and I work as a freelance or employed artist for animation. My specialties are stopmotion and 2d animation (and cutout), but I have developed other different tasks like storyboard, 3d animation, backgrounds, character design...
I ´ll write something about my work and my ideas in this small space, sometimes in spanish, sometimes in english, because I speak english vey bad...I´m sorry. But all your comments are very welcome in any language!
I hope you enjoy it, let´s start!!

Santi
