#animation 1

Final work

Finally I managed to finish this animation. Even if it looked easy as an animatic, the process of turning it into animation was long and tedious. Couple of times while working on it I thought about changing the animation entirely. However, I decided to persist with it and now I am glad to say that O am very much happy with the results that I got.

Although the animal animation still looks a bit weird, but at this point of time it is the best that I could have achieved with the skill that I poses at the moment

New way to animate found

The animation I started very strong, however, I have underestimated the time that it will take to draw int the no line style. However even with all of that trouble I a\manage to learn something new about usage of Procreate dreams and animation there

I learned how to make groups in animation, which helped me tremendously, since I manage to make the animation even better that it was before. By grouping art that helped me to atimate some details int the picture and then move whole composition, creating zoom effects or any other movement with “camera” that is depicting all of that

Comparison between old and new

I only started on improving the backgrounds and I am already shocked by results that I managed to achieve

Looking at backgrounds from Hayao Miyazaki I managed to lear couple of tricks to help me color leaves. It turns out it wasn’t that complicated. I found the perfect brush to simulate leaves and after that the only thing that I needed to do was just to understand where the lights are and then shade accordingly

To be honest I knew what to expect from no line art style, however, never even in my dreams I would have imagined that it will turn out this perfect. Maybe if I knew how to shade better or my skill in background creation was better, I would have made buildings that closely resemble the real life ones

Thoughts, plans and a bit of research

Since I pick this animation I definitely will face some challenges. First of all I have no idea how to properly draw leaves and foliage in general. Buildings are relatively easy to shade but leaves. To learn how to draw that better I probably will need a bit of inspiration. For example works of Hayao Miyazaki since they are always showing amazing backgrounds
