The final rough version of my frame by frame animation project (inking and coloring is not required.) The assignment was to animate a character showing an emotion. I drew one of my characters, Robin, with a sort of smug amusement, trying and failing not to laugh. She means well, though.
I had a little trouble with the character's consistency that probably could have been mostly avoided with a rough animation for the anatomy after my initial gesture animation but before this crude lineart version (but as I spent a good deal of time drawing this one, I don't regret moving to this stage.)
I really like exaggerated arc movements in character animation, so I tried to give Robin that kind of flowiness in her arms flopping and in the tilt of her head, but still trying to maintain animation that is "snappy" and easing in-and-out.
Very much enjoyed this assignment! Frame by frame is my preferred form of animation, so I hope to get more opportunities in class to create and learn better techniques for it.
