Hello everyone,

In week 2, I went to the mall and the subway to make some thumbnails. The assigment was to make some thumbnails, choose one, and do a pose in 3D with it. You don't have to draw like a pro. The goal is to put some ideas on paper so you can plan your shot. So here my first homework for animation Mentor.
See ya next week
