The modern day Renaissance artist

Welcome!

This is Alessandro Piedimonte's blog. Here you will find some work that I've been working on for the past years at Sheridan college in the Bachelor of applied arts Animation. After 4 years of animation I have found that you need to learn some key skills but you also need to learn about the "truth" in art. The title of my blog pays respect to those pioneers that used art to bring humanity together and used it to enlighten others.
I will be graduating this year so if you have a studio and you are in need of a talented artist drop me a line.

Our 3rd year movie finally online

So our 3rd year movie is finally online! I worked on various parts of this movie. But pretty much you can see most of my work in the fight scene.

An update

I have been working hard on my movie. Although movie seemed like an incredible mountain that I had to climb I can finally see it's summit! I'm almost done all of my rough animation and it looks better than I imagined. Well here are some "new" drawings I painted, but they are only new to the blog.

Comments please! What do you think?

Mario and Maria Grazia

I'd like to introduce you to the main characters of my film.

RapunzeLEO

So my brother wanted an image, quick, to put as the cover of the book he made for his wife. So in a couple of days I made this for him.

- The first Olympics -

I woke up at 4 in the morning today with the urge to draw. I have had soo many ideas that I could have developed further in these 4 years. So I decided to draw something up to explore where things could go. Here's another project I had in mind. What if we could see the first olympics.
I want to put up some character types I wanted to create. Here's an example, maybe to realistic of a spartan throwing a javelin. I have a whole crazy story that goes with all of this.

Character development

I decided that if I want to be an animator I have to create characters with personality and animate them... So here goes Quick loose sketches coloured ...
