Peter Behrens 1907 Manifesto for AEG

Here is a picture of the 1907 Manifesto by Peter Behrens. It is from the book "Industriekultur: Peter Behrens & The AEG 1907-1914" by Tilmann Buddensieg (1984).

Mr Bug Goes To Town

I finally have some time to myself so that I can draw. School is done and my summer classes don't start for another week and a half, so I decided to draw something.

Micheal Sporn (who I linked to before on this blog) has just posted some excellent model sheets from the Fleischer Studios second and final feature film animation, Mr. Bug Goes To Town. Inspired by these model sheets I doodled for a while until I came up with this piece. Scanned and then inked and painted in TVPaint. So far I have only used TVPaint to draw and ink in, but have not really done much animation in it yet.

Casper Part 2

Here's part 2 on our epic journey for revenge, starring that loveable Casper.

GGG-GHOST!

Haven't posted anything up in a while.  I was busy doing the special effects animation course, but now I started a full-time job  (*knock-knock* housekeeeeping. whatever it is still a job) and I am about to start full-time classes online in less than a week for my web design certificate.  So all of my fun animating and drawing will come to another stand-still.  Who knows though we will see.

Anyways here is a fun little comic that I am putting together, and it has to do with everyone's favorite ghost, Casper.

My First Demo Reel

I finally put together a demo reel.  This is a compilation of the last couple years of work.  My first one was done back at the beginning of 2009.  That is when i bought my first wacom bamboo tablet and started getting into art and animation.  I was also living out of my van, snowboarding everyday in the Colorado mountains, and animating every night at the public library.  Seems like such a long time ago.

After that I came back to Montana, and did a couple more little animations here and there.  Then for my 20th birthday in 2009, my girlfriend bought me an Intuos 3 9x12 tablet, which helped my digital art out a lot.  I realized though that my lack of solid drawing abilities made the animation much harder.  So from then until now I've been learning how to draw, and that's why I started this blog.  I started it to post my lessons from the $100,000 drawing course from the famous John K.

After a long stint away from animating, I've been able to get back into it recently and it feels good.  My drawing abilities have gotten better, but those still have a long way to go.  My animating abilities have also gotten way better, which I think can be seen from the intro to my demo reel that I just animated a couple days ago.

I made this demo reel because I saw a job posting for a animating job on craigslist, but I realized I didn't have anything but a couple of posted videos to show off my animation.  So I started making this reel, and then I saw that the job had been taken down already, but I figured it would be good to have this made.  I might not be the best reel, but my animation can only get better from now on.

Enjoy

New Daily

I got a new daily up for all of you guys.  I have had a lot more time to draw and animate lately and boy does it feel good.  It's posted on my vimeo channel.


Daily 2 - Sneak from Tyler Williams on Vimeo.


It happened because I was having trouble drawing arms on my cartoons, and I was always guessing when the bicep would push in or when it would push out, so I drew some roughs after figuring it out, and then I wanted to make a sneaking walk cycle.

 

sorry if it's a little hard to see

Pogo Tribute

For all of you faithful followers,(probably not many) you may have noticed that I haven't posted anything in the last couple of months. Well, there is a simple explanation for that, I haven't been drawing at all. I was working a construction job out of town and only had one day off, so I spent that time my women and my friends. Now that work is done for the winter I can finally start to draw again. I've also been teaching myself how to watercolor, or paint anything for that matter.

My first thing to post is a large scene of Albert the alligator from Pogo, which is just a fun tribute to Walt Kelly in his swamp style that I tried to emulate. I also made a little comic strip for Pogo that I will post here shortly.  This is in honor of the first in a series of twelve Pogo volumes that has been long awaited.  Now that I have more time I can finally sink my teeth the book.
