On the other hand, we are absolutely not going to talk about my 3D modelling/sculpting abilities... 8/8

Even just through these 5 animations, I feel like I've learnt a fair bit about shape and motion, although my technical skills are definitely still lacking. I've just bought an actual drawing pad, and am going to commit some more time into improving my drawing and animation in the future 7/8

Head turn! This was mostly traced from reference footage of myself, and while some of the individual frames look quite jank (especially the nose and lips) I'm honestly pretty proud of it overall, especially since it didn't even take as long as any of the previous ones 6/8

Metamorphosis (+ some extra). This one really made the difference between straight ahead and pose-to-pose animation click for me, and even though it's not artistically super good, I'm actually quite proud of it. Lines could definitely have used work, and the design is kinda boring, but oh well 5/8

Pendulum swing. Honestly the first one I think doesn't really have any big flaws, although the actual pivot for the pendulum does move around a bit. It also could've really benefitted from some motion blur, but procrastination -> rushing work so I didn't have time to figure it out 4/8

Directional ball bounce! I stopped drawing for this and started using shape tools, so the volume is much more consistent, even through the squash and stretch. The timing is also better, however the arcs aren't great, and that 2nd peak really should've been higher. Still an improvement though 3/8

Very first basic ball bounce. This was my 3rd attempt, and even with guidelines, not using reference really shows in how bad the timing is, and the volume it very inconsistent. I'm bad at drawing circles, especially the same circle over and over again (embedding it here broke idk) 2/8

I only spent about 45 minutes playing around with it today, haven't gotten to the camera yet
