For this experiment we were working with straight ahead animation using the onion skin mode to create a drawing from a single shape on the page.

I chose to use Krita for this project as I am still getting used to it, but I have had a bit of experience now so I am becoming more confident. I chose to create a flower coming out from the ground, loosing its flowers and then drooping over sadly. I originally just thought of doing a flower growing out of the ground, but then I thought it would be interesting to see the leaves falling and to create some emotion into the flower to give it character,

The animation was a little jumpy and I did change the original shape a lot as the animation went on which I don’t think worked very well. Maybe reviewing the play through more as I made the animation would have improved the overall quality and made sure there was more consistency. Still, it was very cool to see an animation grow and change from just one shape. I think this method of animation provides a very nice hand drawn look to it so I would like to experiment with it more.
