WIP - Animation Workshop Exercises

Added 2020-08-22 10:48:43 +0000 UTC

Some stuff I’ve been doing as exercises for a friend’s animation workshops. These two are basically exercises on interaction, one with a character and another with a prop. I realized I don’t do this much and that I really took my time making these. I’ve come to realize that i’ve become a bit more patient with this sort of stuff as I t takes a lot of care and time put into it.

While I usually spend about less than an hour making my sketches, animation really takes a buttload of time and is definitely a new change of pace for me (i think I spent more than 4 hours making the final rough of this one?). It’s a lot of winging and feeling what moves right. I wonder when i’ll “”figure it out””

I didn’t realize until blocking the poses in this one that it lasted 9 seconds. A lot of my old animation attempts involved getting as little frames over with but I’ve begun to learn to lengthen and delay movements. I still do some cheats working on 4s and 3s haha

It’s funny how this kind of drawing hits differently where I‘m usually not doing this for work or for a client. It feels nice doing stuff for myself and seeing the rewards play out!
