As a group, we created an animatic to show how our animation would look when it was linked together. This was done mostly to see how the transitions would work between each of our animated sequences. My section of the animatic was completed on Krita, using a Wacom, Intuos M, drawing tablet.      Continue reading Animatic

The following animated sequence was completed on Krita, using a Wacom, Intuos M, drawing pad. This was one of my first ever 2D animations and I would love to progress with it in the near future. Things I could have done better with this animation are the smoothness of the flour sack’s motion and includeContinue reading Flour Sack Animation

This week we focused on practicing with simple 2D animations to create 3 different weighted bouncing balls. This was a slight challenge for me as it was the first time I have ever practiced 2D animation. The initial difficulties I had with these tasks were more to do with the anticipation of the movements ofContinue reading Bouncing Ball Animations

The task set for our third week was to create more thumbnails, but focusing more on the shading and tonality within the drawing. Then we were to pick our favourite thumbnail and draw another version of the same image with stronger tonality values but also at a larger scale. The results are seen below;  Continue reading Tonality and Value

  For our second week’s study, we focused on composition and perspective. We did this by sketching 12 different possible backgrounds for our animated world (which we are currently working on ideas for as groups). Our second task was to try and point out the perspective and composition the animator is trying to put acrossContinue reading Composition and Perspective

In our first week of Animation Studio, we focused on the study of breaking down the basic proportions and shapes used to build the drawings of some of our favourite animated characters. All of the following drawings were completed on Painter essentials, and drawn using a Walker Wacom, Intuos M, drawing tablet.   Completing theseContinue reading Form and Shape
