A blog about the neverending learning process in Animation
I took some of the characters of Percy Jackson and the Olympians book (that I recently read) and decided to design them and make animated head rotations to see how the designs and the style would work animated. Also as a practice to get use to TVPaint software setting myself a goal of making two characters a week in any free time I got between university projects. Rough design of the characters from the book: Animation: This can be the first time I've been animating human characters and not faceless puppets for animation practice. I was aiming to improve:
-Working myself around the shapes of characters I designed fir animation made me realize that the construction is essential to keep consistency, even in the details. -Testing how the design is fit for purpose was a really important practice. Having to decide abandon details or solve curly hair. -The face feature I found more difficult to keep in consistency were the eyebrows. Until I realized how the layers worked on TVPaint.. - It started taking me 3 hours getting satisfied(~ish) with the rotation and at the end I could work it in around 1 hour. |
