And now guess what! I’ve almost finished animating my thesis film. The title is “how is the world?” and it’s about a little shaggy squirrel, wandering in the jungle and getting to different situations, in each he experiences a feature of the life and thinks the world is all that way. Here is a plan, showing my cuddly friend falling down and start marching out of the frame. I’d love to know what you think about this. I’ll try to put some other tests in my blog later on. Enjoy.

The doodles below are just done for fun. I decided to try some sketching while I was watching a dancing movie. I figured out that the rolling pen doesn’t let your drawing hold any emotion. You see, I tried out some ordinary face drawing with a rolling pen, and I didn’t get the answer. It’s too hard (if possible) to get the emotion into your drawing that way.

Last year I animated an animation with just one character: a realistic stork. You can see my doodles over analyzing and knowing how a stork (more fundamental, a bird) looks like. I wish I could upload the film, but you know what? That film has not been finished yet, as the director wanted all frames painted with watercolor, and he couldn’t find anybody to do it so. I’ll do my best to put my animating tests here someday.

These are some can be called quick sketches I did for one of my classes about 2 years ago. I didn’t take my duty seriously, as my master was not a real one. As you can see there are mistakes in drawing, posing, and in the character itself. I decided to put it on my blog, though, so you can compare this with my new ones. Hope you like it.

These are some other characters I tested for the same project. Hope you like them…

Hi guys. I’m all new. My name is Mohammad Ali Sharifpour and I’m from Iran. With 25 years of age I feel so old and even dead already; yet I do my best to hold on, live and make life (animate).
Firstly, my English is not PERFEKT, so don’t bother yourselves if you don’t get what I write; It’s my problem. Instead, I’m open to the corrections you make on my notes.
Secondly, my sketching, drawing, painting and animating is like my English (not PERFEKT), and I’d be glad to read and see what you can get out of them. They’re just the struggles I make to get better and better.
Thanks and have a nice trip…
Here is a series of character designs I did about 2 years ago for a project by the name of “The Battle of Alexander”. Well, I’d be thankful to know of any new information about this picture, as I quit the job (like so many others) and don’t know where it got.
