2D - Weight Lift (Week 6)

-
Last week we were tasked with animating a flour bag picking up a weight:


I focused especially on the concave and convex shape of the flour bag when it leans down and then when it starts lifting the weight.


In today's lesson, we were tasked with animating our hand turning from palm down position to palm up. Firstly, we need to draw our own real hand in the 2 extreme positions - palm up and palm down, as well as the breakdown in the middle of the hand from the side. We were also given a timing chart to use to time out our animation. Then we can draw over the top on a new layer, this time drawing the hand with only three fingers and in a glove, just like mickey mouse's hand. We then need to draw all the inbetweens for the hand turning, clean up the lines and colour it.
Here are the key frame drawings of my hand:

Drawing for Animation - Week 4 (Tangerine Dream)

For this week's assignment, we were tasked with drawing a piece of fruit and creating a character using the fruit's shape as a starting point. I decided to study a few different fruits (and vegetable) before landing on the banana, where I drew a drooping suited character who looks very miserable, and I really like how those came out, as I feel like you can tell their emotions from their body without much use of the face, which I need to improve more on. In the lesson we looked at perspective lines and how the horizon placement higher or lower can change how dramatic the landscape will look, for example when its lower on the frame, it will look much more dramatic, as it's closer to the floor.
