Cel Animation

Week 4: In this week we had an experienced animator come in to tell his story and teach traditional Cel Animation. We were to again draw from life and copy what we saw from children's toys before drawing our own character and doing little sketches of expressions and getting to know the character.



After that we were tasked to draw a series of images over a lightbox to then take photos of and string together into an animation, I animated the example of a walk cycle.

Week 5: I then went on and animated one of my older drawings, one which I had always wanted to animate.
I added a lot of new frames in to compensate as originally they were 4 serperate drawings so I had to draw more to fill in the gaps.
