Line and colour

For today’s class we were given the task of colouring the sack test animation to practice our clean up skills and show one mentioned of out lining our characters with a quick and easy method. This is quite a common thing to do within animation but, if you were to go back to the Walt Disney days you would have to do it with paint on cell sheets which did not leave much room for error in those days. now it much easier due the creation vectors a system that uses nodes to create straight lines but, can create really clean curves which is perfect for our project. the thing i needed to keep in mind while i was doing this task was the hue and pattern due to the sack being a soiled colour. I did not need to worry about that for now. i wanted to choose some unique colours for the bag so I went with red and purple just to give it something more than just a brown bag. 

  

History of vectors

Vector art is a form of creating art with little nodes which when places would create a nice solids clean line between them. It is a highly effective way of getting clean line art for our animation but, it is very rear to find software with this feature due to the best and most common one being adobe illustrator. It first came about during the 60s and was on of the original components of that generation of computer. it did not really get noticed until it was used in the hit 70s arcade game known as astordes where you would use them to destory the said asteroids. it aslo marked a stage where they did very rodamentery animation with them which was very interesting.  though luckly Krita has a version we can apply to our animation which, will help our clean and polish stage.
