Doodling on de Toonboom

A little fun and a little cheek

Really wanted to experiment with animation facial expressions 

and at the same time play around more with TVpaint.

I love the brushes you can get with TVpaint.

You can tell it wasn't really planned out due to the random positioning in the middle of the frame.

A doodle of an animation!

Galloping weridness

More experimentation.

Made a wrong turn deciding to animate all the legs in black.

Got a bit lost.

Still highly entertaining.

4 legged walk

The four legged walk.

After trying a two legged walk cycle I thought it seemed pretty straight forward.

Oh how wrong I was.

I couldn't seen the pattern of the leg movements or the difference between the front and back legs so I decided to do a study of the movement by looking at some biology videos.

Everything is so much clearer.

Watch out, angry lady walking

Splash character sketch

He's so cute!

Fat dude + springboard = True beauty

Day 1: Planned out the timing using references and roughly drew key poses for my main guy. 

Here I've started to draw the whole body animation out.

Whenever I felt like I lost my enthusiasm animating the body, I switched over to do the board.

Worked out great! Helped me not get sloppy or lazy.

Day 2: Finished animating the splash and then added in all the final touches.

Seeing it all in colour and done feels amazing!!

AHHHH!! I FINALLY DID IT!!!

Note to self - You need to work on them perspective drawing skills...
