2DA

The first animation class of my time at Full Sail. This class covered the traditional style of animating. Well, for me, anyway. My tablet decided to stop working half way through the first week. I proceeded to do all of my homework on paper, and scanned everything in page by page. Patience, that it what you need to be animator. But lets get to the work.

First graded animation of week 1. I was thinking of Disney's Bambi when I made this, and I like how it turned out. My only change would be to hold the droplet a little more before it falls off the leaf.

The pendulum for week 2. I decided to take it a step further and give it some character. I've always wanted one of these clocks, so I drew one.

The sit to stand. I edited this one a bit, which was very tedious because of the redrawing, rescanning, re-editing process I had to do to get it where I wanted it to be. But whatever it takes, right?

I can't help but laugh every time I see this now. He's doing such a whimsical, loose, unnatural walk. Like he's strolling through down town on his way to the theater when something catches his eye. Anyhow, maybe I should give this another go in the future.

With 2D in the bag, and my tablet still out and being fixed, this class was great fun to be a part of. I enjoyed every minute of it although tedious. I think that's the rub with traditional art: it's much more time consuming and tedious to complete and fix, and that's why this class has given me even more respect for the older ways, and has also underscored to me their importance.
