Structural geology field trips integrate learning, collaboration, and exploration. Creating a comic (or graphic novel) from a field trip promotes students' rendering their own popular culture view of the experience as well as reinforces the technical elements of the trip.
Required undergraduate structural geology course, but the method is suitable for all levels.
Skills and concepts that students must have mastered
Familiarity with an assigned topic in structural geology, understanding the objective of the project and how it is different from traditional end of term reports, technical ability to produce the comic.
How the activity is situated in the course
Culminating project.
Content/concepts goals for this activity
Content varies with field trip or topical assignment. For field trips with a number of objectives, the project must represent all of those objectives. For field trips with a single purpose (joints, for example), the project expectation is more restrictive.
Higher order thinking skills goals for this activity
Integrating multiple events/activities to represent a whole. Discern what is geologically relevant from what is entertainment.
Other skills goals for this activity
Collaborative efforts; students work in learning groups.
Reducing information into graphical form with minimal narrative.
Reducing information into graphical form with minimal narrative.
Description of the activity/assignment
This project is based on either a class field trip, or an assigned topic in structural geology. In either case, the students are responsible for representing their experiences in the form of a comic or graphic novel. The experience is therefore largely visual, but it gives students an opportunity to translate their thoughts into a non-traditional medium.
Determining whether students have met the goals
The project report is evaluated for: (1) technical content and representation, (2) cohesiveness, (3) relevance to topic, and (4) creativity.More information about assessment tools and techniques.

Westdeutscher Rundfunk
Callsign meaning
|West German Broadcasting
Official website
Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR, West German Broadcasting)1 is a German public-broadcasting institution based in the Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia with its main office in Cologne. WDR is a constituent member of the consortium of German public-broadcasting institutions, ARD. As well as contributing to the output of national television channel Das Erste, WDR produces the regional television service WDR Fernsehen (formerly known as WDF and West3) and six regional radio networks.
WDR was created in 1955, when Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (NWDR) was split into Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) – covering Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and Hamburg – and Westdeutscher Rundfunk, responsible for North Rhine-Westphalia. WDR began broadcasting on two radio networks (one produced jointly with NDR) on 1 January 1956.
WDR is in part funded by the limited sale of on-air commercial advertising time; however, its principal source of income is the revenue derived from viewer and listener licence fees. As of 2013 the monthly fee due from each household for radio and television reception was €17.98: the equivalent of €0.59 per day, payable quarterly, half-yearly, or annually. These fees are collected not directly by WDR but by a joint agency of ARD (and its member institutions), ZDF, and Deutschlandradio.
WDR began its regional television service, Westdeutsches Fernsehen (WDF), on 17 December 1965. On August 27, 1967 Germany turn on it first color TV program, WDF used a live broatcast from a Bosch Fernseh OB van (outside broadcast van, remote truck) to start broadcasting in color. In 1988 the channel was renamed West3; since 1994, it has been known as WDR Fernsehen.
While the programmes are mainly run from their Cologne headquarters, they also have a number of sub-regional studios contributing a regular broadcast called Lokalzeit with the addition "Regio Aachen" (Aachen), "OWL aktuell" (Bielefeld), "aus Bonn" (Bonn), "aus Dortmund" (Dortmund), "aus Düsseldorf" (Düsseldorf), "aus Duisburg" (Duisburg),"Ruhr" (Essen), "Köln" (Cologne and Bonn), "Münsterland" (Münster), "Südwestfalen" (Siegen) and "Bergisches Land" (Wuppertal) for each respective region. WDR has its current affairs and regional-politics studios in Düsseldorf.
It has served as the production entity for network shows on Das Erste of ARD, such as Verbotene Liebe, which over the years has exposed many young actors to the German audience, such as Andreas Stenschke, Jo Weil, Luca Zamperoni and Kay Böger. The TV-sport for the "First Channel" Das Erste is produced in Cologne, and WDR contributes to ARD Digital, 3sat and arte.
- 1LIVE (formerly styled L1VE: Radio Eins Live) is a popular music channel modelled on BBC Radio 1 and aimed at a young audience. Its schedules include such non-mainstream night-time programmes as "Heimatkult", focusing on pop music from Germany, and "Lauschangriff", a series of audio-books.
- WDR 2, featuring adult-oriented popular music, focuses strongly on national and regional news, current affairs, and sport.
- WDR 3, the cultural channel, offers mostly classical, jazz and world music as well as radio drama and spoken-word features dealing with literature and the performing arts.
- WDR 4 (motto: Melodien für ein gutes Gefühl, "Melodies for a good feeling") is principally oriented towards an older audience. The channel specializes in traditional and modern German-language songs and other tuneful music.
- WDR 5 (previously WDR Radio 5) offers spoken-word programming with the focus on present-day culture and society.
- Funkhaus Europa: previously WDR 5 Funkhaus Europa (an offshoot of WDR 5) and now a joint Radio Bremen / Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg WDR production, this channel, which features a wide selection of world music, is principally directed at immigrants and aims to promote integration. It is not available over-the-air in every part of WDR's broadcasting area.
WDR's radio programmes are available on FM and digital (DAB+), as well as via cable and satellite. In addition WDR broadcast several digital radiostations on DAB+, cable, satellite and internet.
- 1 Live Diggi
- Kiraka: a children's radiochannel (KinderRadioKanal)
- WDR Event: events like soccer/sports and parlement debates (also on AM 720 & 774 kHz)
- WDR VERA: Traffic radiostations (partly also on AM 720 & 774 kHz)
Except on Sundays and public holidays, 1LIVE, WDR 2, and WDR 4 carry a limited amount of paid-for commercial advertising during the daytime.

He feels Kettering students are more mature, respectful and familiar with the work environment than students at other universities. Navaz enjoys interacting with students and ensuring that they become successful. He came to Kettering to teach because he felt he had "experiences that students can benefit from."He would tell prospective students that he thinks Kettering has "one of the best undergraduate programs with labs for them to acquire the hands-on experience they need."Hidden talents and outside interests: With hobbies as varied as his research, Navaz enjoys running, tennis, music and more.

For example, he volunteered a class to help out with the energy grid at Mott Farm, a teaching farm. One student took a wrong turn and wound up volunteering at the neighboring historical village all day instead - too polite to tell his hosts he was in the wrong place.Currently coordinating Kettering's pre-college program on sustainable energy, Pourmovaded is expanding his influence to high school-aged students interested in alternative energy as a field of study.His advice to prospective students is "always go with your dream."Hidden talents and outside interests: When not busy with students of any age, Pourmovahed enjoys traveling and meeting new people.

Ramadan was interested in teaching at Kettering because he was intrigued by the cooperative education program, because Kettering works closely with high tech companies and because of the small campus and relatively small class size. His favorite aspect of teaching at Kettering is being able to educate students, knowing that what he is doing has a positive impact on their future lives and careers, and the continued contact he maintains with students who seek his advice or guidance on their careers or higher education after they graduate.Ramadan would give prospective students the following advice. "Take your education seriously. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get the education you aspire to, and if you don't get it during your years at college, it will be too late to try to catch up after graduation."Once when Ramadan was giving an exam for one of his colleagues, he was a few minutes late because of his schedule. When he entered the classroom everyone applauded. He asked them, "Why are you applauding; you haven't seen the exam yet?" This made everyone laugh and helped to put them in a good mood before the start of the exam.Hidden talents and outside interests: Ramadan has a wide variety of interests to keep him busy when not teaching or pursuing research. He enjoys swimming, skiing, exercising, woodworking, writing, listening to music, and of course fixing things. Research Associations: Specialties: Publications: Hide Bio Kathryn Schaefer Lecturer Department of Business, Graduate Faculty 1700 University Drive 4-318 N 267018 x7943 hqr.taverggrx@rsrnupfx Show Bio Hide Bio Kathryn Schaefer, lecturer in the Business department Master of Business Administration from Oakland University, with expertise in Accounting.Schaefer finds Kettering students to be bright, ambitious and diligent, and believes that they "are definitely motivated to learn and desire to go beyond the textbook in their quest for knowledge. The practical, real-world experience through the co-op education program really gives Kettering students an advantage over their non-Kettering peers because it prepares them for life after graduation." Her favorite part about teaching is interacting with students in a small classroom environment. In order to teach Kettering students, you don't lecture to them, you interact with them via class discussions, group projects, and in-class exercises. The interaction is what really fosters the learning experience.Her advice for prospective students: "A Kettering education is an unsurpassable investment in your future. In addition to acquiring the knowledge and skills vital to your area of study, the real-world experience gained through the co-op education program will jump-start your career ahead of your non-Kettering peers and better prepare you for life after graduation."One of Schaefer's first experiences with Kettering students was subbing for an accounting class. As she was covering the topics that she was asked to cover, one student commented, "We already learned that." A few nodded in agreement as the rest of the class was silent. She then stated, "Excellent, then why don't you demonstrate to the class how to figure out the problem?" The student was speechless and the class started laughing. A few students finally mentioned that they hadn't covered that particular topic yet. So much for the attempt to get out of class early!Hidden talents and outside interests: Shaefer and her husband have three very active daughters so they're usually at swim classes, dance classes, scouting events, or at home helping with homework. Shaefer also finds time to be outside as much as possible for walking, biking, rollerblading and swimming. As an avid gardener, Summer has become her favorite season.

He feels that when they are in classes at Kettering, that is their primary focus and what distinguishes them from students at other universities. Stanchev really enjoys the group discussions made possible by Kettering's small class size and was drawn to teach at Kettering by the tight knit Kettering community.He would tell prospective students about the excellent faculty at Kettering who can assist them in reaching their goals.Hidden talents and outside interests: Is it any wonder that Stanchev likes Kettering students so much? He is just as focused as they are, carrying on with his research in his off time.http://www.kettering.edu/~pstanche/ Research Associations: Specialties: Publications: Hide Bio Laura Sullivan Professor Graduate Faculty, Mechanical Engineering 1700 University Ave 2-113 MC 8389.267.018 hqr.taverggrx@nivyyhfy Show Bio Hide Bio Dr. Laura Sullivan, professor of Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Arlington in Materials Science and Engineering, with expertise in biomaterials, polymer processing and service learning.After 15 years of teaching at Kettering, Sullivan finds her students innovative, practical and successful at working in teams. While she enjoys teaching, she especially likes getting to know students outside the classroom through their involvement in organizations such as Engineers Without Borders.Originally from Phoenix, Sullivan made the mistake of identifying the Red Wings as a soccer team during one of the first classes she taught at Kettering. She said she learned her lesson quickly and is now an avid Red Wings fan herself.Sullivan feels lucky to be teaching the "Millennium Generation" because of their drive to make a positive difference in the world. "I can promise any student who chooses Kettering that you will have an opportunity to lead and to grow that will give you every tool to make the world a better place," she said.Hidden talents and outside interests: When not helping change the world with Engineers Without Borders, Sullivan sings in the New Century Chorale and keeps up with her sons' water polo and swim meets Research Associations: Specialties: Orthopedic biomaterials Polymers Publications: Hide Bio Nozar Tabrizi Associate Professor of Computer Engineering Electrical & Computer Engineering, Graduate Faculty 1700 University Ave 2-703 M AB 6287.267.018 hqr.taverggrx@vmveonga Massoud Tavakoli Professor Graduate Faculty, Mechanical Engineering 1700 University Ave 2-131 MC 2297.267.018 hqr.taverggrx@ybxningz Show Bio Hide Bio Dr. Massoud S. Tavakoli, professor of Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. from Ohio State University in Mechanical Engineering, with expertise in product design and safety and vehicle collision reconstruction.Tavakoli sees Kettering students as mature, ambitious and professional. In fact, he feels it is this accelerated rate of maturity that distinguishes them from students at other universities. Tavakoli originally came to teach at Kettering because of the close ties to industry and the opportunities to learn about what takes place in industry. It is the hands-on flavor of education, the laboratory intensiveness and the students that have become his favorite part of teaching at Kettering.Hidden talents and outside interests: When not in the lab or teaching his students, Tavakoli enjoys camping and community service.

Thompson, professor of Electrical EngineeringPh.D. from Michigan State University in Electrical Engineering, with expertise in electronic circuit and system design, automotive electronic systems, and alternative/renewable energy systems.Thompson sees Kettering students as intelligent, mature and hardworking. What sets Kettering students apart from students at other colleges, he believes, "is that they are employed by a corporate sponsor." It is this cooperative education experience that "tends to give them a more realistic view of their professional career environment and allows them to mature more quickly." Though the small class size and personalized approach to teaching is Thompson's favorite part about teaching at Kettering, he was initially attracted by "the emphasis on laboratory and hands-on activities tied to theoretical understanding."He would tell prospective students that "choosing a college is an important life decision. It is a very personal decision that no one can make for you. Visit Kettering and any other college that you might consider. Ask questions, talk to people (professors and students), and get a feel for the place. If they have the programs, opportunities, and facilities to fulfill your goals, and you feel comfortable there, you should be able to recognize that you would fit in."Being a proverbial "absent-minded professor," Thompson was sitting in his office one day "doing what professors do" and completely forgot that he had a class scheduled. About 20 minutes into the scheduled class period, one of his students knocks on the door and says, "Professor, aren't you coming to class?" Thompson jumped up and ran to the classroom but, of course, most students had already departed.

Hi all,
First time poster, but been having a look around for a while now.
After having a fully working Kalyway system for two years I thought I would upgrade using Kakewalk to SL. I'm not that great with understanding the kexts/kernel panics etc, so Kakewalk seemed like a nice easy option. I popped the Legacy ISO in the drive and then went ahead and put the SL install disk in when asked, but after that I got the greyed out screen asking me to turn the computer off in every known language. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I've running the following...
Quad Q6660
Nvidia XFX
4gb RAM
I want this install to be as easy as possible, and as upgradable as possible (although I know this is always hard to predict what Apple will do next). Is it going to be best for me to get some new equipment now, or will I have no problems upgrading in the future (HDD's and Graphics)
Thanks in advance!

Disolves and removes contaminates, including rubber gloves.
by Darren from Waterford Township, Michigan
March 01, 2011
This stuff is so good it will also dissolve rubber gloves while applying it. Seems to have worked perfectly on my 14 foot fiberglass runabout. Some people complain about the pinkish dye that is added to this dewaxer. However, it completely disappeared from my boat within several days due to the rays of the sun. I highly recommend this product.

Aww darn, I can't make portfolio day tmr :( I don't suppose any of you guys would be willing to show my pieces to portfolio day for me? Like printing a few out/ bringing your laptop with the links? Thanks
Aww darn, I can't make portfolio day tmr :( I don't suppose any of you guys would be willing to show my pieces to portfolio day for me? Like printing a few out/ bringing your laptop with the links? Thanks
Hey guys,
Last year a bunch of animation students helped me with my portfolio and I want to pay it forward.
If you want feedback on your portfolio you can add me on Skype ("justin...chan") or facebook (https://www.facebook.com/justinchans).
I don't update my blogspot (2ndwave) anymore and use Tumblr instead (http://justinchan.tumblr.com/).
Maybe I'll see some of you guys tommorow, I think I will be at the school
If you guys would kindly, could i get some feedback on what to focus on with my life drawings I made a couple(still using photo reference >_<). From what I could tell I need to work more on balance and weight distribution, correct me if I am wrong and if there is anything you would like to add?
Have fun with your portfolio reviews! Hopefully you get a good prof to review your stuff.
The first year illustration students have a table in either the B wing or C wing beside the learning commons. We're fundraising for our anthology project, you should totally stop by and chat with the first years there (also donate winkwink)
@kamikazel33t - One thing teachers have told me is to not bother with shadows in your portfolio if you can't do them extremely well. Obviously, you should still practice that, but when choosing your final pieces it may be something you want to leave out.
Also, make your construction lines more apparent. Reviewers emphasize that so much.
I've started to design my character that I'm going to use. I also plan to use her in some of my personal pieces. I suggest you guys start that too, as the more time you give these characters to incubate the better.
Attachment 1635949
@OfficialLamp Thanks for the suggestion, I already knew that rendering should not be shown in the portfolio I just wanted to see how a more render look would suit the figure. I was wondering whether or not you could offer insight on what I could really improve with my figures? For your character I really suggest experimenting with shapes as amanda mentioned on her blog, as it is really essential to get those shapes which really defines the personality of your character. What I can "read" from your character so far is that she seems like a mischievous assistant? I was only able to read this from the expression but I feel you need to emphasize this in your design of the character because the round face in the painted picture gives her a really friendly look as opposed to mischievous. I feel that my mind does not really feel the appeal of the torso(short triangle) and how it is combined to the hip(large circle) not sure if it applies to everybody though.
For character design there are a lot of great resources I felt Michael Mattesi's Force: Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators was really helpful especially the chapter on forceful shapes. I suggest you also study the shapes of characters which portray different personalities from popular animations, I felt like I learn something by looking at how the combination of shapes gave off a certain personality.
I've also been constantly trying to doodle character to get one completely incubated but so far I am not really liking the results of my most incubated character.
I felt like my most recent sketch of her was unappealing and it just gives me disgust :P, I am thinking of giving her head a less rounded design and try to emphasize a little more of the cheek bones? I am also a little stuck on approaching the body form. I am thinking of writing a story about her to get my design a little more focused.
Oh right, I guess including things about her might help you guys critique her design. She is an average office drone, working in a cubicle and pushing paper all day. However, Gloria Higgins has a hobby. All her life she's been preparing for one very unlikely event, zombie outbreak.
So that is her before the zombie mayhem starts. When it does, and she jumps into action, she can be her real self: a zombie slaying hero. Obviously, as the story progresses her appearance changes to match her growing character. First thing that changes is she rips her pencil skirt up the side for better movement, which also gives her that confident female hero in a dress type look.
@kamikazel33t - I think you need to make her a lot more simplified. Higher detail will just make it more difficult for you. She's got a Stewie Griffin head which is actually kind of complicated when you try to position the features on her face. Is she old or young? If she's a young character, the eye line should be lower on the face. Is she some sort of magical creature? I noticed she has odd ears, and her legs are very out of proportion to the rest of her body (possibly on purpose?). I think looking at Chihiro from Spirited Away might give you a better idea of proportioning your character: http://livlily.blogspot.ca/2012/04/s...design_22.html
Hey guys! I am a first year animation student also, and I know I asked tons of questions when I was making my portfolio! So if you guys would like me to help you with anything, go ahead because I don't mind! However, I don't come on concept art that often because I find it hard to navigate on here. If you want to ask me questions or get feedback, deviantart is the most prefered method, but I will give you all my sites:
Deviantart: http://jermmgirl.deviantart.com/

Blogspot: http://jermmgirl.blogspot.ca/
Good Luck on Portfolios!
here is mine btw (I got a 3.63: http://jermmgirl.blogspot.ca/2012/03...fall-2012.html )
Whatzzz up everyone.
Just got home a long trip to portfolio day. I got really good advice, they dont want rulers in the room drawings, they definitely don't give a crap about it being from 'real life'. Also, he said and I'll quote "your the first one (today) that I can say your chances of getting in our strong". Which means I gotta keep pushing of course. He said my sketchbook stuff were way stronger than the crap i put in my portfolio, he says I'm sweating line quality too much and its needs a more organic, holistic approach. Anyways enough of my blathering.
Sunday hand drawings are still due.
Also, I should mention, especially to you Offical, that the Portfolio Workshop is doing "gesture character designs' every day for 12 days. On their Facebook starting nov 19th. it seems like a great excuse to practice and come up with new things. I was gonna suggest it for next week since it lines up perfectly but Denaliah wants to do storyboards. So I don't know. I think it would be cool if we all gave it a shot.
Riceboy, BeenaMisty and Jermagirl I'm really honoured that you guys are willing to give us some tips and I plan to really to use it when I can. If I do get in, I will definitely return the favour.
Justin Chan expect a facebook message tomorrow, its MLP time!
Cheers everyone!
Offical: ditch the digital stuff. Digital stuff for just inital sketches really sucks out the personality.
Kamil: Uh, proportion is a bit wonky, especially in the arms and legs. And what the hell! you arent drawing the feet or hands. You must must make the effort to do that. I would start really making an effort to improve and sharpen your lines. It's now or never. I mean if it was just you learning, I would leave it to last, but you gotta get everything up to par by March. So practice everythin.
Riceboy, BeenaMisty and Jermagirl, I'll definitely be talking to you more especially Jermagirl who I have yet to meet at school!
Dunnstar, I struggle very much with line quality but in school theyre teaching us how to overcome it. Its kind of interesting to know how we learn different methods to do the same things but of course, I wish you all the luck with your portfolio! and same to everyone else in the forum! let's do our best :). Ill be posting all the stuff I feel behind in during this week since I have less homework. I hope Ill get it all on here quick!
Also, Dunnstar I'd love to hear more about your experiences today with the sheridan teachers :)
It makes me super mad that I have to send in photocopies for this. My construction lines just don't scan at all, I guess I'll have to draw in a different color than blue. :/
Anyways, got some quick hands done. They look really similar to my ones last year, I just don't know what to do with them: Attachment 1636698
Have at it.
OfficialLamp you could always play with levels a little and clean it up to show construct lines a little more, I did it so that I could critique it a little better. Here is what I've thought of it so far.
The reason why I felt the way you posed your hand was a little unnatural was how you bunched your fingers together, you made it seem as if the action requires the use of the other two fingers while all it need was three so you need to show the other two fingers to be more relaxed, in the action follow through it seems as though the hand is too relaxed for a reflex action(hand immediately dropping the remains of the match after getting burnt). normally when a reflex action occurs the signal is sent by your spinal cord and not your brain so the accuracy of movement is more urgent and less accurate in your pose I felt it was also a bit too relaxed.
Here is how I thought the pose could be improved but this is just my opinion.
but then again the match is a small object and normally with an object as small as a match I would naturally just use two fingers to grip it.
If you want the construction lines to show even more you need to scan at a higher resolution for your portfolio. If all else fails try to go to a professional place for your final portfolio and have them scan it for you making a note to manipulate the document so that everything perfectly shows.
@Dunnstar Well the character drawing was almost a sort of a doodle I am still directionless on proportioning her body so I was sort of playing with, because she was so butt ugly to draw I completely redesigned her. I guess I should brainstorm the character as a whole rather than just thinking of the head first then have a headache later thinking of the design and proportions of the body.
Here is the redesign, it is a crappy image which I will replace within the next sketchbook update I already have an idea on how to design less "wonky" and more appealing proportions to the character redesign. Her name is Sclera btw :3
Attachment 1637010
OfficialLamp: For the second drawing, the middle finger looks too thin compared to the index, the forearm I think needs to be more rounded and 3D looking, it looks a bit flat. For the first hand, the lower part of the thumb is a bit long.
Hello guys. Good turnout this Sunday.
Here is my submission. critiques will be in the next post.
UPDATED (BLUE LINES ONLY) critique still welcomed!
Attachment 1637329
Attachment 1637328
Offical lamp:
Your fingers and thumb are getting too long and lanky, the middle is the longest but that never really shows. I would try and cut down on unnecessary lines. Kamil goes in detail with what is off. I agree with most of his points. Compared to your one before, this isn't as good. Not sure why. I would spend abit more time measuring and comparing to get the proportion just right. Maybe draw hands lighting a match for more dynacism.
Your holding the toothpick jar abit unnaturally, play around with the pose abit. Other than that, structure and proportion seem right on
Kamil: I dont see enough to really give a fair critique. I want to see some pleasing shapes though, not generic elf girl.
If you see someone wearing a neon green jacket through the pit (I think thats what its called) then its me!
Haha, you guys are making me feel super self conscious about my lanky hands and giant upper thumb. :P
@denaliah - It's looking real good, I'm sure they're going to like 'em if you keep drawing them like these. In the first one, the middle finger fails to meet back up with itself when it goes behind the ring finger and the space between the pinkie and ring finger seems, awkward? I'm sure that's probably correct in observation, but it looks like a tangent is forming and it flattens them.
For the second, the knuckles are too smooth and uniform. Maybe I just have bony knuckles, but I can't find an angle where they meld like that. It doesn't look like you're gripping the jar very well. It's sitting right on your fingertips while the first one had more of a grip.
@Dunnstar - Ha, your blues aren't scanning just like mine. Anyways, the way you're drawing the lines makes the form seem really chunky. A drawing teacher of mine would have loved this kind of linework, but he doesn't quite have the same criteria as animation teachers. The second hands are too rough. I'm not quite seeing how the fingers are folding in the left hand, and some of your nails don't feel attached (drawing longer nails seems more difficult).
There also isn't much movement going on in the action. Give that left hand a good twist opposite to the other to emphasize the movement.
I think denaliah has the right idea of how to approach the hands. Keeping it all blue looks more effective then the hard lines me and Dunnstar are using. I might do another tonight after work.
My whole portfolio was blue lines so its okay if you guys don't want to clean with pencil
As for what the professor said.
1. I'm to avoid that whole "go over your sketch and make lines darker" I was stressing it too much, he wants it to be apart of the drawing process. A "hollistic" process is how he put it.
2. Keep character designs simple.
3. play around and really have fun with character. keep emotes varied and unique.
4. He gave me some general perspective tips, avoid ruler, make it freehand, also draw one object use it to keep everything inbalanced. try and establish vp points extra
5. My life drawing is stronger so he didn't give me any advice on that. sorry.
That's all he said really. his name was Mark.. if that means anything. He had a bit of an accent, not too noticable but.. well there.
Updated my hand drawings i'll keep old ones on my blog as some sort of "museum of my failure"
Next week I think we should kick off our character designs. 7 days isn't the most generous amount to develop a character but I think its a great idea to get us thinking about it.
APW is running some sort of public gesture-character design thing, great excuse to get us thinking about design in new and sexy ways.
The gestures will be posted here and on their Facebook page
You can share your creation on their facebook page or by email.
Offical website is here.
Next Sunday (Nov. 25th) I would love to see a basic premise done from everyone. Happy drawing everyone.
At this pace we should have rough work for all of the sections by the end of November.
Thanks D! I see what you mean by the bony fingers, I'll go over and slim, and believe it or not I do actually have a very thin arm (lol) you can see my ulna bone protruding like some sort of maligant tumor but I'll thicken that up for believability.
Well, a simplfied Rotation sheet (back and front) with a few rough expressions(neutral, happy, sad) should be enough to "feel" the character. If that's too much for anyone, just a front shot, rough or sketchy so we can get an idea. This part is really important in the portfolio process, so we really wanna get something down as early as possible for revision. We can do action poses the following week if anything? But right now I think we should get a premise down.
Hey guys I think you missed out on my hand D:, most probably because it is on the page before so I am going to repost.
Top is from Right to Left
Bottom is from Left to Right sorry about the disorganization!
@Dunnstar I think that your wrist seems off almost stylized like. That is all I notice so far, I will post redline corrections for the rest of you two and an even more detailed critique.
@Dunnstar - That's looking tons better as just blue line! The first one is stronger, not anything to say about it. The second has a really thin middle of the thumb and the wrist is far too noodle-y. The duck is not consistent between the two, mostly in the beak, but that's not really the focus.
@kamikazel33t - Oh, totally missed yours! In the first pair, I'm not quite sure of the action going on. A more dynamic change would be better. There's also a few consistency issues. The first looks better than the curvy, bubble-like, second one. The wrist seems to be shrinking! You were probably going for some foreshortening, but you made it too extreme and it just looks thin. The nails are a real weak point. Try drawing just the figure tips first, then wrapping the nails around the form.
I like the action you chose for the second pair. But I feel you could have twisted the hand up more so that you can see the palm as it flips the paper. Your poor finger appears to be broken! I know that a pressed finger is a great shape to draw, but it's also more difficult to make look natural. The hand is also pretty stiff and bony.
For the second, the thumb is much too long and you've removed the skin webbing between the thumb and index finger. Other than that, get some nice flipping paper drawn in and it could be a cool piece to include.
Would it be helpful if I took a snap shot of your guys' hand drawings and drew over them to point out corrections? If so, you would have to give me 2 days because I have some due dates tomorrow and Tuesday that I need to finish first :P

This rug caught my eyes online but I was hesitant to order because I wasn't sure about the wool/viscose material, as well as the look. I continued my search in local rug stores and saw this in Safavieh store, retail for $****. After I saw this rug in real life and touched it (so soft and smooth from viscose, aka Art Silk), I ordered it from overstock as soon as I get home. I ordered on a Monday, and it came on Thursday! It's beautiful as described, and the color changed a bit from different angle. It adds so much depth which doesn't show on the picture. I am a happy trooper. The rug is not the plush type and it does slip around a little bit (even with my 8X10). All minor issues gone after I get a nice rug pad (adds cushion too). Now I am super happy trooper. I am in a shoes-free house so I can see this work perfectly. I won't recommend it for high-traffic or shoes-on environment, otherwise, two thumbs up!
This rug is lovely, shimmery, and elegant. But it is NOT WOOL as stated on the site. This is one of the reasons I am returning the rug. It is thin, though would be made more cushy with a thick rug pad. But the real problem is that it's not a wool rug. It's made of art silk, aka artifical silk, aka rayon, plus cotton. No wool at all. Also a word of caution if you don't mind that it's not wool, due to the shimmery nature of the rug, it will show every speck of lint, dirt, etc. that falls upon it. I would NOT recommend this rug if you ever wear your shoes in your house, if there are men/boys who track things in or spill things, if you have dogs or cats, or aren't an incredibly conscious and fastidious person.
Some things you should know about this product - look at the pictures closely. To me there appeared to be tiny burgundy/dark orange boxes in the corners of the "cuts" in the fabric - those are just shadows. Also, the picture appears grey with a white sheen - in reality it is more of a blueish color with a light blue sheen. Also, I had never purchased an art silk rug before - the reviews about dirt showing up are so true! I had it about a day with almost no foot traffic and I could see what look like dirt stains. I had to move it to a lower traffic area. Really wish it was a better product overall.
After reading several of the reviews, I was hesitant to order the rug. Others thought that it was of poor quality because it was a thinner rug. The rug, however, is perfect! High quality hand knotted rugs are thinner than the mass produced carpet cut-out rugs. Beautiful pattern and sheen!
This rug is stunning and exactly what I was looking for. I fell in love with a rug very similar at Macy's and they were asking over $3,000. When I found this gem on Overstock, it was a no-brainer. It arrived in just a few days, packaged really well. I unrolled it in my living room and it just brought the room to life. It has that shimmery, silk look to it making it very elegant, modern and transitional. For the price, the quality and the quick shipping, this rug is an amazing choice. I am thrilled!
The color is a grey/silver and the material is very soft. It is a very low pile but I like it for our bedroom. It is very different and elegant looking.
I bought this rug for my dinning room space which is in an open concept room and I needed to better define the area. I purchased it in the 8x10' size and though it was a little more white/pearl than gray from what I was expecting the color was still great and works beautifully with my black and silver damask pattern dining room chairs and blue/gray wall color. The rug rolled out flat very easily and though it is thin and not particularly cushy it is still very soft. I did not want a cushy rug in this area so this rug was perfect. I'm sure a rug pad underneath would provide more cushion but that is not needed for me. I love the silvery sheen the most from the "art silk" material which really helps to capture the silver quality of the rug. Also love the pattern, which though contemporary works great with my traditional damask printed chairs. Would definitely recommend. Shipping was also unbelievably fast and it arrived in 3 days from when I placed my order - fantastic!

Instead, they sent a special video toast. They have been married for 72 years (and still go to work every day) and are an inspiration to me and my husband, Mike.

Persistent rain saturates area9:23 am | January 16, 2013
Steady rain continued to douse Carter and Johnson counties Tuesday, covering roads and threatening homes with fast-moving water.
By Tuesday afternoon, the area had seen nearly 3 inches of rainfall and the National Weather Service upgraded the flood watch covering the county to a flood warning.
Because of the flooding and ice storm on the western side of the state, both caused by the same slow-moving weather system, the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency Declared a state of emergency for the entire state.
As the creeks rose, county emergency personnel and road crews were dispatched to multiple reports of high water.
Alf Taylor Road, in the Milligan Area, was shut down by county workers when Buffalo Creek swelled, and eventually covered, a bridge.
Areas along Gap Creek Road and in Stoney Creek were also affected by rising torrents.
In Johnson County, Emergency Management Agency Director Jason Blevins said several roadways, including state roads and secondary roadways, were underwater.

When will the FDA will regulate all the electronic cigarettes, I wonder?
July 5, 2010 at 2:34 am | #4
I've been studying the reviews and political acrobatics for almost a year now and can find no sane evidence that points to e-cigarettes being dangerous. I have a few Hubs that get into the reasons why, but the bottom line is that real cigarettes are a proven killer with over 400 carcinogens. There's nothing in an e-cig that comes close. If you really study every ingredient, you'll come to the same conclusion. The tobacco lobby is fierce.

Hi there, I found your blog by way of Google whilst sarching for a comparable matter,
your site got hefe up, it seems great. I have bookmarked
it in my google bookmarks.
Hi there, juwt changed into aware of your weblog through
Google, and found that it is truly informative. I am going to
be careful for brussels. I'll be grateful when you continue
this in future. Lots of other people will likely be
benefited out of your writing. Cheers!

Having read this I thought it was really informative.
I appreciate you finding the time and energy to
put this article together. I once again find myself personally spending
a lot of time both reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
Funny how in this day and age when we know so much about how harmful smoking is that tobacco products are still on sale, but I guess a lot of taxes would be lost if they were banned. Time to regulate the electronic cigarette and make them more widely available I think. Somebody once said that the invention of ecigs was probably an invention that could save more lives than any other invention.
It's amazing how ingrained smoking is here in the US and around the world. I wonder what would happen if someone came out today with a product as harmful as cigarettes? The FDA should work towards a long term goal of banning all cigarette manufacturers and cigarette sales. Stop the madness.
Dear Fdatransparencyblog,
Thanks for that, Whether you are hosting a small or large scale event, considering chair rentals is very much essential. If your event location provides these items, then you are no need to consider table and chair rentals. If your venue provider doesn't offer these facilities, then you should consider party rentals. Before going to consider chair rentals, one should aware of the basic information about these rentals.
My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post's to be exactly I'm looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content in your case? I wouldn't mind creating a post or elaborating on some of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome blog!
I do not imagine it really includes something to do with a recollection branches or the reader by itself mainly because in the event the Universal series bus is actually plugged in your sticks, reader in addition to device usually do the job equally it will however whether it is unplugged the problem is once more obvious.

The neons, on the other hand, totally intrigue me. I'm not one to regularly incorporate many not-seen-in-nature colors into my daily beauty routine, but I'm always open to experiment, and the more "adventurous" side of Bobbi's new collection is definitely inspiring me to dabble outside my comfort zone! Some of my favorite collection highlights include the three punched-up lip gloss additions – now in Citrus, Cosmic Pink, and Ultra Violet – which are fun and spring-festive but sheer enough to not appear costume-y or kitschy.
I also adore the new eyeshadows, in Ultra Violet Shimmer Wash and the stunning cobalt Blue Bell. Of course, I realize that these shades aren't for everyone (and they require a very skilled hand to wear them chicly), so what do you think – gorgeous or gimmicky?

LINCOLN — Nebraska fans are used to seeing the letters GBR, a truncated version of the mantra "Go Big Red."
But with a record number of new faces arriving for next season, the NU volleyball team is unveiling a program titled "BDR" — Building Deeper Relationships.
The Huskers will have 10 new players this fall, prompting the team to put its offseason focus on team building, acclimatization and chemistry.
"It's like 'challenge accepted,'" senior Hayley Thramer said. "It's not like it's a bad thing at all. It's just different from what our old players are used to. It's fun. It's like we have a new slate and we can get on the same page right away."
Thramer's involvement in the team's offseason activities may well shape the Huskers this fall. The middle blocker would have been one of the most experienced returning Huskers, but Thramer suffered a career-ending knee injury in Nebraska's final spring exhibition match in April.
So coach John Cook placed Thramer at the top of the team's leadership infrastructure for the summer's BDR program. Under Thramer, seniors Kelsey Robinson and Morgan Broekhuis and sophomore Meghan Haggerty each are "SEAL team leaders" in charge of groups of four to five players.
Each team leader will be held accountable in making sure her group meets a number of criteria in areas such as academics, work ethic and getting to know their teammates, then they report back to Thramer on their group's progress.
"I said as soon as I got hurt I was still going to be a part of this team," Thramer said. "I could graduate in August, but I made a commitment to them. I want to do what I can to get this team to the final four and the national championship. You have to dream big no matter what the circumstances are."
|Join the conversation on the Big Red Today Facebook page.
Those big dreams come despite an unprecedented roster turnover. NU graduated three All-Americans and had two other players transfer following last season. The Huskers bring in the nation's top-ranked recruiting class as well as two decorated transfers from Tennessee in Robinson and setter Mary Pollmiller, but the number of new faces makes this team Cook's largest-ever rebuilding project.
"I kind of like it because nobody thinks we're going to be any good. It's a completely different feel," Cook said. "I asked our team, the players working our camp, 'How many think we're going to be preseason top 10?' There's only been one or two years we've never been top 10. Nobody raised their hand. I said, 'Yeah, you're right. Nobody thinks we're any good.' We have very high expectations here."
Cook isn't backing off his own expectations and anticipates the first two weeks of fall practice in August to be full of competitive fireworks. Most notably, Nebraska will need to settle its starting setter position between Pollmiller, the Southeastern Conference's top setter as a freshman in 2011, and true freshman Kelly Hunter, a high school All-American from Papillion-La Vista South.
The coach hopes to decide on that battle, plus competitions at outside hitter, middle blocker and libero, following the team's Red-White scrimmage on Aug. 24. That's when the program will christen its new home at a renovated Devaney Center.
"Red-White will be a big night for a lot of kids," Cook said. "That's why I hope we have a big crowd. That will be about as much pressure as they can feel in one night."
Cook said the buildup to this season reminds him of the 2008 campaign, when Nebraska had to replace graduated All-Americans Sarah Pavan, Christina Houghtelling and Tracy Stalls while also coping with the loss of All-America setter Rachel Holloway, who unexpectedly transferred in the offseason.
That team regrouped around Jordan Larson, Lindsay Licht, Tara Mueller and setter Sydney Anderson, who transferred from Utah just before the start of fall practice. Nebraska eventually reached the final four before losing to eventual national champion Penn State in a match considered one of the best in program history.
But blending in 10 new faces presents a different level of challenge. One the Huskers hope to make headway on during a summer designed to quickly bring them closer together.
"We've got a lot of work to do," Cook said.
