Description
3MB to load... Be Patient!Since some of you already know, two weeks ago my 2D Animation course has started. I'll study it for three years. Last week we received a light table, and we have created a lot of small animations practicing the art of animation. I'll write more at the journal soon if you like.
Yesterday I could not wait to play around with it some more. It's my very first hand drawn animation of a character (One second loop, 21 Frames). It looks a bit stiff and pretty rough, but it was a lot of fun to do! It was really long ago when I was that motivated to create something. I may try to ink it digitally... Reference was a walking cycle video from youtube.

Enjoy

A few odd questions. One, because of how the walk does seem a bit stiff, was this done mostly pose to pose or was part of it straight ahead? Second, the far arm seems to pop a little when it gets back into frame, and it looks, at parts, to be a bit jumpy. How many frames is this loop and is it playing back on ones twos or threes? Three, as a minor suggestion, should you ever do another walk, that might help. Don't get into a habbit of doing all your walks stationary. If you do, your characters will all seem to walk around like they did in the old scooby doo cartoons and just slide across the page.
Main reason I'm curious is because I litterally just finished a 2D animation course a week ago. It is a good solid walk you do have, so please don't take anything above the wrong way. After my final for the class, I've been a bit critical of any animation work I've been doing when ever anything seemed off, rough, or popped.

Ah I appreciate constructive criticism, so don't worry.

Before I forget, there is one hell of a resource book I picked up for my class that might be of major help to you. It's called the Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams and, damn, does he have good reference, explanations, and more. Just following some of the simpler stuff in it as regular drawing practice improves things manyfold.

GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN! ANIMATION WILL EAT YOUR SOUL AND THEN POO OUT NO MONEY! kinda just like your paycheck will as an animator.

You speak from experience?
Well, I'm not only animating. I'll also have some classes in character design, sound design, storyboard creation and more. Just everything you need to know to create an animated film.

yes
doing something you like for a living is cool and all, but it don't pay the billz.

It was still rough at the first time,but I'm sure u would master it and get it smoother
Oh wow,21 frames for a loop? O_o
well..I know it was common for an animation,but still,I just begin the animation lesson,so I envy u a lot lol XD
keep trying,and I'm looking forward for ur next animation!
