Week2-Messy1

This week I get to explored different 2D materials and techniques which I never done before.

It is quite a convention that most animators start with pencil and light-table. On one hand, it is necessary to learn the essentials, but on the other, I lose the fun of exploring different possibilities. This is a good exercise. It is weird at first, but a lot more interesting than I thought.

Here are my try outs:

Messy1-1
I am having difficulty imagining the movements because charcoal is not erasable! Plus, I have to work and layer drawings on one single paper instead of a pile of papers which I am more used to be.



Messy1-2
I never thought of using sand for animation. It's only a shadow, and I am very bad at catching shapes and poses. The tempos of this one is messed up, making everything going to quick.



Messy1-3
Black paints make my mind full of horror! I would say this is a piece out of my unconscious. Basically, I paint and erase and paint and erase and paint... I like the creepy face at the end :)
