Palmer G. Pattison @PalmerAnimates@socel.net

Hello! My name is Palmer. I'm a #2D #animation generalist, living and working in West Jordan, Utah, USA. I got my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in animation from Columbus College of Art & Design in 2016. You can see my portfolio, demo reel, and résumé at https://palmeranimates.wordpress.com

I animate using #TVPaint on a refurbished HP Z400 workstation running #Debian #GNU/Linux, and a 20-inch Yiynova tablet monitor. I love drawing with lots of squash, stretch, smears, and multiples.

Here's a sequence from my work-in-progress animated short, Crosstown Chaos.

“The sooner you make your first five thousand mistakes, the sooner you will be able to correct them.”
—Kimon Nicolaides, The Natural Way to Draw

“The way to learn to draw is by drawing. People who make art must not merely know about it. [...] A scientist may know all about aeronautics without being able to handle an airplane. It is only by flying that he can develop the senses for flying. If I were asked what one thing more than any other would teach a student how to draw, I should answer, ‘Drawing — incessantly, furiously, painstakingly drawing.’”
—Kimon Nicolaides, The Natural Way to Draw

Just got my EFF Panopticlick results... and an appeal to share the tool on birdsite, book-of-faces, and geeplus.

Roffle.

Been too long since I've sketched, and this poor model's proportions clearly paid a price.

Been pretty sick the last couple of weeks, so I haven't gotten much new drawing done. Here are a few random sketchbook pages from sometime last year. Drawn from reference photos at line-of-action.com, as usual. #mastoart #creativetoots

Yeah, that right elbow is kind of messed up. Oh well.

First sketch of 2019. Corinthian capital from a broken set piece at an ad agency in American Fork, Utah.

Just a couple of quick sketches from earlier today. From reference photos on https://line-of-action.com and made with @Krita

Just a little something to remind me that iteration is important.

My brother just sent me this link with a bunch of production art from Into the Spiderverse. Thought I'd share the awesome. https://kotaku.com/the-art-of-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-1831137867
