Week 17
a year ago
General
Week 16 was an interesting week. Animation was just as challenging as I thought it would be, though I did have fun with the few animations I managed. Falling into the side tangent of a transformation sequence, a panics comic, and a character addition took much more of my interest, but I did make myself create, and even color in, a few different animations. I practiced a sliding landscape, a wave, an inkling shooting a paint gun, and a transformation animation.
This week I don’t have any particular daily goal in mind. I will be posting SOMETHING up daily, but I want to take some time also working on another panics comic strip, and another transformation sequence. With summer camp going into its second week, I feel like that will cover a lot of time, so my daily posts may be a little more on the silly doodle style of piece.
To those who have been watching, faving, and commenting, thank you! As I’ve said constantly, seeing people actually looking at my stuff helps give me motivation to keep doing it. It’s a journey I’ve taken WITH all of you, and I wouldn’t have been able to keep up with this current push without you.
I hope you have a ducking good day!

...and now you know that from experience.
Getting things to LOOK right is challenge enough, but stacking that on top of making things MOVE Right, that's like next-level hard.
After that battling, maybe take a week to do something more simple like, just playing with character expression, getting the eyes to convey emotion?
....and when you're feeling ambitious, maybe take a poke at animation again, but with a specific focus, like motion follow-thru or following a "simple" movement from acceleration to cessation? Even if the results are disastrous, the principles can help in terms of bringing still-pics to life.
Just some ideas. Hope this helps.
It may be a while before I take that next animation stab, but it was definitely a learning experience.
