Final animation.

250 word reflection:

This is my final animation and overall I am really happy with the outcome. Using my IPad for animating was challenging but in the end became easier to use. I feel like the colours and character designs fitted well with the theme of the story aswell as expressing the tone/emotion of what the character is feeling. I had a lot of fun making the background designs because as well as being into animation, I also like illustrating.

At first I was not going to add a lot of detail to my character designs as I felt it would not fit the concept of my story but by adding specific detail to the background and characters, it helped give more life to the animation. The sound contributed to this too. I did not want to add too many sounds because I felt it would complicate the audience if too many things are happening (the voiceover, sound effects, animation) so I made sure to use important sounds. I feel like I balanced well the use of sound as well as the detail in my animation.

Despite what I did well, I feel like I could have improved on the transitions. Because I used the software ‘Procreate’, there was a limit in how many layers I could use which caused some challenges when transitioning scenes. I also did not end up using my music that I wanted to add (playing the ukulele) as I felt it would conflict with the voiceover and noise of scenery.Besides that I am happy with the outcome of my animation.

1 hour paintings.

In my spare time I glued some lined paper around to make it more interesting .

These are some drawings I made from a few life poses in a video I watched. In these drawings, I put a lot of detail in tone and shading. I’m not very confident when using pencil to draw which is why I used it to help improve my skills.

Some life drawings we did today. I decided to paint on a random cardboard as I got tired of drawing on the same piece of material. I really like how it turned out as it’s different and the colours I used kind of stand out on the text of the cardboard.

These are some watercolour paintings with black pen drawn over. I tried my best to fit everything in the rectangular frame. I also, in the last drawing decided to make it into an illustration which is why it’s not very realistic. For the other drawings, I kind of combined them together by overlapping the other drawings onto one.

Pen art. In these drawings I only used pen. I realise that in these drawings I overlap my pen sketches over each other to create a line. I need to avoid doing this and draw more smoothly.

Gouache paintings.

Using only gouache paints allowed the paintings to be more expressive. I think this because the brush strokes i made weren’t following any pencil marks so they came out more natural. I also limited the colour that I used. Red for darker tones and the yellow for lighter.

Pen drawings.

I really like drawing in pen because for me it looks nicer. I feel like I should try draw on a bigger scale for next time to try challenge my skills.

My favourite drawing is the 3rd image

3rd image has an overlapping of drawings together. The others are unfinished.

Pencil drawings.

Personally I don’t really like pencil drawings but these turned out really good.
