Description WHENEVER USED AS A REFERENCE, PLEASE RESPECT MY WORK AND GIVE ME CREDIT. IT'S ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN TO USE THIS ANIMATION TO MAKE YOUR OWN PROFIT. THANK YOU!

A pencil test I made last night! I wanted to animate lol...

Sketching the frames took about an hour, and about ten minutes to put it together on comp. There's 8 frames in it. So yeah this is a small and boring animation but I hope you like it :'D

I know.. I failed the tail and forelegs, but most of all the hindlegs! Not to mention the head and body.. lol
So crits are welcome but I already know the flaws xd

Download for the full size plzthx!

make your own animation: [link] ONLY use it as reference/study, do not trace/claim as your own. Be original & creative!

A llama badge? It just means someone's been to your page and given you one C: If you collect lots of them, it changes to a super llama, then an albino, then super albino, then a ninja I think, and so on C:

There are still a couple of faults in it, but that's nothing much to worry about.
And just a small tip: If you use 12 frames (which is mostly used for drawing running canines), the animation with look a lot smoother.
And I think there should be at least 1 extra frame between when the back legs are pulled up to their highest point and the moment when they touch ground again.
Perhaps make him stretch out a bit further? That way, it looks more powerful when he pushes himself forwards.

gallopingcowgirl [2010-06-05 15:25:26 +0000 UTC]

I like this.
The details in the paws is great (i hate drawing paws). The back legs might look funny because they are a little slimmer then the rest of your wolf's body, but otherwise they're in the right spots.
Why no eyes? And the ears are so floppy i had to smile at the cuteness. ♥

The only thing I think is a little jerkish is the mouth. But heck, I can't animate like that, even though I want to

Nice work by the way. But I have a question, what type of file did you save the pencil test animation as? because I'm having issues uploading my pencil test animation on here. They keep on saying that I can't use the "traditional pencil test" category.

Janaita In reply to Catgirl08 [2010-03-03 06:04:42 +0000 UTC]

I don't use mac, I never have, so I really have no idea. If you have a flash program, you could try opening it in thee and saving as .gif ? dunno if it works, but it never hurts to try!

must of been difficult to draw the frames right if you were drawing the movements on separate pieces of paper. pretty smart though

Rubberbear In reply to ??? [2009-11-04 14:49:41 +0000 UTC]

Hello,
I am an animator and I think your animation is really good, but you should shoot it at 30fps animating on 2s, and you need to make some trace backs, if you don't know trace backs are when you trace your frames and then when recording the cycle you periodically use one of your trace backs instead of the original you don't need to try to make the trace back different you had will do that on its own, and you should create multiple trace backs for each frame and then record the entire cycle with all the variation many times say 5 or 6 for a really good cycle and then loop it, because then it doesn't look as obvious that's its a loop and it looks more natural because of the slight variation. And maybe you could add a little early/ late arrival/departure to the ears, fur and tail because adding something so small to your drawings will take them a long way. Im not trying to say its bad, its a really great start, Im just trying to share what I learned studying animation in college.

Hey, thank you very much for the tips! You know this is an old animation already and I'm not gonna go and change it anymore, but I'll be concentrating more in the future. I envy you for being in an animation college. I think we have none of them here in Finland. That's why studying abroad would be really awesome.
Thank you again, your tips are really helpful
