LAUAN403 - Apply the 12

For the final task of this module, we were required to apply all 12 of the principles of animation into a short sequence around 10 seconds in length. I chose to do a short scene where a biker takes off a little too fast than he anticipated.

Pros
- good secondary animation with the scarf and helmet straps
- effective squash and stretch
- good feeling of weight and motion
- my first fully coloured animation with a background
- accompanying character model sheets provide a solid understanding of the character

Cons
- first two shots (close up of hand and helmet) could have been better refined
- line work could generally been better
- timing needed some work
- a bit too fast?
- animation didn't begin until the last week, could have been better with improved time management

LAUAN403 - Solid Drawing

For this task, we needed to demonstrate our understanding of solid drawing by sketching people we saw out and about on the streets or in cafes etc. I mainly sketched people in train stations since I go in and out of them a lot.

 Pros:
- sketches were quick
- I noted down the time it took me to draw each one
- didn't fuss about quality
- prioritised my understanding of form and anatomy
- filled the quota of 20 sketches

 Cons:
- not enough sketches of movement
- I clearly need a lot more practise
- could have gone to a more varied selection of locations to get more unique poses
