Lavalle Lee's Drawings and Cartoons

[lavallelee]

[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]I saw that everyone else was making a topic and continuously adding to it, so this will be mine! I will start with a few of my cartoons ive made in flash over the years. There are more, but these few I think are my best. If you want to see all my cartoons head over to www.flashcartoons.org

Please note, that all of these cartoons were made straight ahead, no xsheets/dopesheets. I did however do storyboards for most, or written scripts.

Here is the first attempt at Don's bouncing ball tutorial, next is to add more life to the ball.

You got a long way to go with the character animation itself - but that might be just icing on the cake when you get there.
Your cinematic story telling skills are OK to good.
A lot of jokes miss (for me) as being just derivative or juvinile.
When the jokes are good I laugh out loud. Your timing overall seems quite good.

I was most entertained by
Dr. Dimitri - Episode 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1z_iTc60zI
and
Mountain Top http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9TBUaAX330

I just had to go back a second and third time to see all the gags in the scene where the good doctor says "That's weird" The timing of that scene was perfect!

I surely hope you are getting the chance to show these to "live" audiences just so you get a clear feel from their reactions of what really works.

hey jaytea thanks for all the comments, im happy you enjoyed a few of my toons

and no i never showed infront of a live audience, i would like to try, don't know how to though

so after finding out don opened up the rag bag! i tried my hand at the pirate king (or attempted to try) i see that i did alot wrong, it was hard to keep up with don hes a pro!! anyway i took the picture with my camera, cause im scannerless

Haha! He's brilliant!

"Getting the Feeling" dvd came today in the mail so I tried my hand at Cynthia Brisby. First attempt i was not drawing on a flat surface, 2nd attempt I was.

I know i got lost in alot of parts, like hands, body, nose others im probably not aware of. I am going to keep trying!!! Any suggestions?

Attempt 1


Attempt 2

[johncbeggs]

attempt one and attempt 2 look almost completely like different characters, But we all just need to keep learning which is half the fun

[lavallelee]

attempt one and attemp 2 look almost completely like different characters

i was thinking the same thing! i think im only going to draw on flat surfaces from now on (cant wait until i get my first lightbox!!)

here is a butterfly i just did

[johncbeggs]

man that butterfly is awesome, its moving soo smooth and natural.
great job, I need to get some of my animations up but they look embarrassing at this point in time.

I made a frog one

[lavallelee]

finally finished the next episode!! i'm not going to be making story cartoons for awhile, im going to be practicing animation and learning from don's dvds

enjoy 'The Adventures of Alien & Bunny - Episode 2'
