A to B Animation

For our most recent Hand Drawn animation project we were given the first and last frame of a character animation and had to fill in the inbetweens, any way that we chose to. It was an exercise in creative motion and sticking to a humanoid character model that was provided for us. The animation had to be a minimum of 12 seconds.

Some things that I'd like to go back and improve: 

-His proportions when he's on the ground and his legs are in front of his arms

-Adding more sticky stuff when he lands and generally making it stick around for a few frames longer

Flour Sack Animations

For our second assignment for Hand Drawn Animation we had to animate a flour sack emulating an emotion we picked from a hat. My word was "Timid".

Then for a secondary animation challenge we had to add a tail to our character. I chose an anthropomorphized rat tail.

Hand Drawn Animation Exercises

This semester I'm taking hand drawn animation and I'm incredibly excited about the class. Here are just some very simple exercises I've completed so far.

Transforming one shape into another and back again

For this one I was inspired by the changing seasons. And the fact I wanted to draw a poor little determined snowman.
