Here, we were tasked to do 12 frames of a walk and then trace over them (with a few changes) to make a full looping walk cycle. While I did do a walk cycle once before, it was only drawing the legs, whereas this cycle included drawing the arms too; this made it a new …

November 13th Friday Workshop
docs.google.com/presentation/d/1pM3I8Fbbf2qSLWa0V8ze_8qpEuBU-O3OC_4m2dHvRNQ/edit?usp=sharing Me and my team of 4 completed and presented our presentation on Chris Ofili’s “No Woman No Cry” painting to the rest of Group 2. Everyone else’s presentations were also interesting, and they all talked about artists I wasn’t familiar with, so it made for a useful learning experience. Afterwards, we discussed about museum …
Bouncing Ball
Here, we were supposed to plan out the trajectory of a bouncing ball- its bounces, frames, and timing. Afterwards, we were tasked with giving it a ‘character’, making it alive somehow. For this, I drew a simple face on the ball, which interacts to the bouncing. While the bouncing came out well enough, in my …
Ease-out & ease-in
The exercise was to get 3 main poses, and to then connect them with in-betweens and breakdowns. The catch this time, however, was that there’d be more drawings closer to the extremes, making the movements more realistic. I believe this was a good exercise for me; it helped me understand the importance of really small …
Pose-to-Pose animation 1
We were told to draw 3 facial expressions, and later add in-betweens to them, to make a constant transition between them, as pose-to-pose animation. Once that was done, we had to draw something in to justify the character’s expressions using straight ahead animation. I think I did quite well in the pose-to-pose: the character was …
Straight Ahead Animation 1
This is the first straight-ahead animation I’ve done in the course; it came out much better than I’d expected. 51 drawings in total, I started drawing with no plan, and eventually formed a loop animation after some quick planning.
Principles of Animation 1
Yesterday, we finally started the practical part of our course. After learning the difference between straight-ahead and pose-to-pose animation, and after looking at a quick overview of what we’ll be learning in the coming weeks, we started two separate exercises: one focusing on straight-ahead animation (drawing shapes evolving and moving around, going off of instinct) …
