Drawing character rotations is super
hard because everything must line up perfectly. It's understandable
that things must line up to pass off to the designers, but it doesn't
make it easier. I'm so glad I was warned off of animating humans for
my short, because I probably would have died. A firefly is about as
complicated as I'll get for now.
Aside from drawing the rotations
painstakingly slow, I used Photoshop for the second time. Joel was
out of the office on Wednesday so I got to use his Cintiq!! It was so
freaking cool and much easier to use than the pen and tablet.
Basically it helped me learn Photoshop and now I can focus on getting
better with the pen and tablet which weirds me out 'cause I usually
like to look where I'm drawing.
I didn't get much else done this week
other than 3 different angles of Sam the firefly and a Photoshop
painting of my friend.
The painting was completely irrelevant to my
animated short but it taught me about Photoshop so I think it's okay.
Next week I want to finish the concept stage and go into
storyboarding. That'll have to wait till Monday though.
Adios amigos!
