Reflection Completing this module has improved my understanding of the steps involved in creating an animated film, particularly the need to make numerous drawings before deciding on a final character design. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy creating the same character designs, but I ended up having a great time and seeing how theContinue reading Animation Studio – Reflection
This week’s workshop was mainly about reviewing the work we had done since last week’s workshop (animatic corrections), as well as using this week’s workshop to start animating and get further feedback on our corrections. However, we don’t have to change the animatic at this stage; we can just implement the changes into the finalContinue reading Animation studio – week 11 & 12
This week’s lecture focused on clean-up lines and colouring in Krita, where we were shown different ways of doing those clean-up lines using either the painting tool with a stabiliser or the bezier curve tool to create an outline and using the fill tool to give basic colours in an in-class task where we didContinue reading Animation studio – week 10

For our lecture this week, we focused on character design, learned about characterContinue reading Animation studio – week 5
