The Adapt conference held in Montreal this last september was truly a great experiance. I managed to meet many great like minded people and learn many new things from my time spent with them. The speakers of the event where also very approciable and had many great insights to the things that they have learned over the years that they where more then happy to share with others.
Heres and excerpt from the official ADAPT MONTREL website “The //ADAPT Conference is thrilled to announce the success of its second edition. This past September, close to 3600 visitors including attendees from around the world, renowned local and international studios and master artists joined in a week long event that allowed creative minds to unite. More than fifty-two speakers hosted an array of classes on subjects such as concept art, digital and matte painting, modeling, rigging to 3D animation techniques and much more.” to find out more visit www.adaptmontreal.com

Hello,
These are my first two attemps at painting digitally. As I worked on them, I was learning how to use the tools at my disposal and these are the results. The goal was not to produce highly rendered pieces, but rough images that would suggests the elements that made up the scene. As always, I encourage you to share your thoughts and comments. Tare it apart if you must 
Enjoy,

Hi everyone,
I had fun with these.
These are very preliminary thumbnails. At this stage, details are excluded to keep only composition and shape in mind. as I begin to warm up, I then begin to suggest more details and texture through very loose and rough lines. Before beginning my thumbnail, I always draw down a quick floor grid suggesting perspective, at times, i’ll also throw down lines defining my rule of thirds. It makes for lines everywhere in the shot, but during the quick process I will end up incorporating them to the final thumb. While working on each thumb, I was always trying to keep composition in mind. It was also important to me when thinking up the different shapes used, to keep them simple and not over complicate them as is true in all things.
I recently completed this animation of the character theti jumping rope. As reference, I used this model sheet provided to me.
Enjoy,
