Assignment 8: Walk Cycle

 This was a fairly straightforward assignment. I actually think this one was easier than the weight assignment, despite me getting a lower score on this one. But the reason for that is because I spent way less time on this assignment. I spent considerable more time on the weight assignment. The reason as to why I think this assignment was easier is because you can look up references to guide you while drawing each frame. For example:








I followed this guide, and my animation came out fairly smooth, the only inconsistencies were in the drawings but I think I did a good job with the animation. To make this better, I should've added a background. I was actually thinking of drawing some buildings in the back and some cars passing on the road to demonstrate even better the walk cycle.


Overall, I still think I did a pretty decent job and in my opinion it looks smooth.

Assignment 4 and 5: Flour Sack Gestures and Animation

 This assignment was pretty difficult. It involved two parts, in which we first had to draw gestures for a character, in this case a flour sack, which we would then animate using those gestures as references. I drew this gestures on paper and I do have to say, I feel much more comfortable drawing on paper than on a tablet. The difference between drawing on computer and on paper for me is massive. I do a much better job at drawing on paper. As seen from this, the point of this was to come up with as many gestures as possible and then choose one to bring it "to life" by animating a sequence involving the gesture. I ended up choosing the murder gesture which involved two flour sacks instead of one. As mentioned at the beginning, this was a difficult assignment mainly because it was hard to precisely animate how the body would react to shooting a gun and then how a body would react to being shot. After looking at references, this became even harder, in the sense that I realized t...
