I'mma Gonna Be an Animator

 Hello Everyone!

Please forgive the long absence here on the blog, life has been taking an interesting turn and it's been quite the ride.

I was given the greatest birthday present, which was being offered a position at Digital Domain's new feature animation studio as their first story/visual development trainee. I was also blessed with an even more incredible Christmas gift with a house to be able to live in for this new opportunity! God has blessed me with an new, amazing creative family; namely my mentor Craig Grasso, who is hands down just plain awesome. Go check out his amazing work NOW, you'll be thoroughly satisfied with all the wonderful work there.

Also, good news for the Anthology Project Vol. 2. It will be ready for purchase around the end of April to the beginning of March! It will be a first to be published in an anthology with a comic, which is truly exciting, and hope that I will be able to join the Anthology crew for their third volume.

I hope to be posting some actual work soon! So hold on to your horses in the meantime, and I appreciate all of you who have been hanging in there for me!

Cheers,

-HH

Figure Drawing with Titans

Long time no post!! Wow--it's been quite a while!!!

Summer has definitely been an adventurous roller coaster ride since I've been interning here at the Walt Disney Animation studios. It's been exciting to meet the giants of animation here at the Studio of not only Disney, but Pixar as well. I'm making plenty of new friends and acquaintances that I hope will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, I can not speak of my goings-ons here at the studio---yes, yes....grumble grumble!! Although, I will share with you all my drawings that I've done in Karl Gnass' anatomy classes. These vary from 1- 5 min. poses and were completed with compressed charcoal. The very first drawing was done in a private figure session with James Finch and Bill Perkins.

I feel very small among these animation masters.
