AM 308: Eyes & Blinks

Here's last week's assignment submission,
After the feedback from my mentor, alumni q&a, peer buddies...

AM 307: Intro Dialogue Walk Thru Part II

Here's some work in progress for this week assignment.
I added some extra video reference I took yesterday, & worked on staging the scene so that the situation is more clear. & started with the first pass of blocking.

the situation:
Art dealer behind his desk, mad at the person he's talking to, could be someone who works for him, someone in the cleaning crew, or the delivery boy...whom accidentally spelled something on the paintings, and now the art dealer has to apologize to the artist or the art collector, and that's what he HATES DOING...
