Animation Sketch

I was recently in Japan and had the inspiring experience of visiting the Ghibli Museum which is Hayao Miyazaki’s animation studio’s museum. I’ve always loved animation and have returned to a renewed interest in illustrating moving pictures. I watched this dog a few years ago jumping through the grass at Lake Merritt in Oakland and kept the material to see if I could make a little video like this to share. It’s taken me that long to gather the skills and enthusiasm to make this mp4. I’m happy with this little sketch- looking forward to pursuing this direction in craft.
