Today’s post is an experiment of sorts. About a month ago, I posted this page of watercolor sketches, painted from photographs by Albert Arthur Allen. Just for fun, I wondered what those drawings might look like animated.
The result is this two-second “sketchbook animation.” It’s not an acting test or a funny gag or a film with a beginning, middle, and end. It’s just something I felt like animating. It’s like something I’d draw in my sketchbook, except animated.
My name is Zachary Knoles, and this is my work. I'm an independent artist living and working in the SF Bay Area. I paint mostly figurative pieces with a stylized-representational look to them. I also make animated films.
Many of my paintings are available for purchase through my Etsy store. Prices range from $500 to as low as $50. I also have prints available for selected pieces. If you see a piece you're interested in that isn't currently for sale, let me know! I'm happy to work something out if I can.
FANTASTIC. :O (haha, I almost wrote “fantasstic”) This is SO COOL. I really hope you’ll show the teachers… they would eat this up!
Man, beautiful beautiful beautiful! I’m so impressed! I’d love to see the “frames” if you feel like bringing them to class sometime!
