So this was completed during the half of the first week back after christmas and I got approximately half way through hand drawing the outlines. Unfortunately although I love drawing animation by hand I do find it very difficult to flick through, near impossible to do at twelve frames a second. Therefore at this point I decided to take a break and scan what I had so far and review it to see if minor changes in the style of drawing needed to be made for the second half. One part of this half I really struggled with was where she shifts up on her hands. I had to act this out several times to make sure I got the weight in the right place as i did scrap a few frames when I first started it and the weight looked to be in her shoulder rather than the ball of her hand and elbow. Although filming myself and taking key frames may have been more useful I thought it was important to keep a certain style of drawing consistent. However referencing in more detail will be a skill I look to take forward and develop in the next brief.
I also took this to my tutor and asked for his thoughts and got the feedback that the movement was very linear and maybe easing in and out could be improved. I didn't see it myself until it was said to me so I'm making a conscious effort to get the easing in and out right with the pendulum and other bits in the second half of the animation.
