planning

This will be a huge learning experience so lets see how this goes... but here are the tumbnails and notes:




Well, I will try to keep this up and get a pose test/blocking up soon. By the way, the clip I am animating to is from There Will Be Blood. I'll post it next time!

Oh, and here is a rough pass at another character from the short: The Bartender
