Now that my rough animation was done, I could start trying to clean it up. This was quite a daunting process to me as I have never really stepped past this stage in art, I usually sketch and move on, but I wanted to try push myself to line my animation and give it some […]
Animation Jam
Self Reflection Post
I had a lot of fun making my animation, I had a limited knowledge about animation when I started but I am very proud with the progress I made from learning new techniques, animation fundamentals and new software. I am not entirely happy with my animation, but I am proud that I got some nice […]
Rough Animation
For animation I decided I wanted to try another software, I wasn’t really enjoying Krita and I knew Procreate wasn’t the best to make my full animation, so Alyssa introduced me to Clip Studio paint and looking at it it seemed like a more user friendly software to use. So I went and watched some […]

Reworking Storyboards, Making Animatics, and Backgrounds
So this week I wanted to rework my storyboard, this was because I wanted to try and work on my transition with the person behind me and I had made a quick animatic of my first one, which didn’t turn out great but gave me an idea of my timing. So I made my […]
Final Character Design and Model Sheets
After feeling a bit stressed out and mentally low, talking with my group and focussing on the designs really helped me out. We all went and discussed and ironed out the final designs with each other and I am happy to say that I was able to ask my own question and try engage others […]

Today in class we were animating a Flour sack, thinking of timing, spacing and adding some anticipation and practicing making a storyboard. Animation Before animating I went ahead and drew out some practice flour sacks trying to think of form and personality, I did this very quickly with some references on the side. Then I […]
