At the end of our first term. Going into this course I wasn’t sure what to expect. I hadn’t taken an art related subject since before my GCSEs, so I had no idea what structured learning in such a creative and individual topic would be like. All of my knowledge and ability had come solely […]
Animaton Studio- Week 9
Animatics! Getting closer and closer to the final animation. My section starts off with a zooming panning shot of the TV show set, which is where the blender model made by Rebecca helped a lot. I drew up the background and the set, then the next section was introducing all of our characters. For the […]
Animation Studio- Week 8
Storyboarding Sadly, I missed this week’s class as I was ill. I had strived to not miss any classes this year as this course is important to me and I want to take as many opportunities as I can to learn and better myself, but my health has been up and down these past few […]
Animation Studio- Week 7
Animation! We started looking at the principles of animation this week, and did some animating of our own. We did a few bouncing ball studies, which is something I’ve seen people do before, which I found quite fun, however as I don’t have a laptop of my own I used procreate on my iPad, and […]
Animation Studio- Week 5
Our final groups! I was very unsure as to which group I was going to join. I knew I didn’t want to go back to my original, but as I had only moved groups once, I only had very surface level knowledge on all of the other groups, and I didn’t really know anyone in […]
Animation Studio- Week 4
Colour and Groupwork! In class we started discussing colour! This is something I was very excited for, as I haven’t ever really explored colour up until recently, and I really want to better my use of it in my work. Colour can make or break an artwork, it can make it visually stunning if done […]
Animation Studio- Week 3
This week we explored tone and value, as well as furthered upon our group work. Our task in class was to draw a tonal study of an item relevant to our groups, I went with a cap as this was one of the items that the hunter in my section would have had in his […]
Animation Studio- Week 2
In class this week we discussed perspective, and did some studies on specifically one point and two point. It was very beneficial to me as I hadn’t fully understood it before this! We began to explore our group ideas for our final animation this semester, which honestly had a rocky start for me. I didn’t […]
Animation Studio- Week 1
Our first homework for the Animation Studio module! A study on shape, breaking down cartoon characters and examining how they are constructed. I chose Darwin from The Amazing World of Gumball, as well as Kingpin and Miles from the Spiderverse series. Kingpin was the first character I looked at. His design is very simple but […]
Elephant!
In class this week we were given a model of an elephant that had already been UV mapped, and we used the sculpt tool to add extra detail to it before texturing in Adobe Substance 3D Painter. A simple exercise but fun! This gave us more tools to use when creating our monster models for […]
