Benimation - Artwork

A vital part of any animators education is the study of the human form. How can anyone expect to make a body move, if they don't understand how the body works to begin with? From this simple concept, life-drawing becomes a necessity, and an enjoyable one at that.

Below you will find a selection of my still work over the years at the University of Bedfordshire (both life-drawing and concept work), with new work since finishing the course to be added as it is completed.
