Description
I'm winking at ~EatToast
Because it's her birthday!!! Go spam her dA account with cakes :D
I made this animation last night to experiment with several frames before I'm actually going to start an official music animation. I've never made a drawn animation before. So far, ~EatToast is the only one who knows what exactly I'm going to create. Since I was able to discuss with her some ideas, this is dedicated to her.
First drew a random eye and made 7 other frames. In total, this animation has 12 frames.
All frames were drawn on a single super thin A4 paper with HB pencil. Shiny drawing table with spotlights used!
No references. About 3 hours of time.
EYE FACTS
Did you know:
- an eye got over 2,000,000 working parts?
- an average person blinks about 10 times per minute? So does this animation!
- eyes are able to process 36,000 bits of information per hour? That's about 450,000 bits of info a day (sleep included)
- half of our brain is involved in the seeing process?
