Week 3 : Lecture

For this week we discussed on 4 more principles of animation.

1. Staging

Staging aids in illustrating a clear narrative to the audiences.

2. Appeal

Appeal is making a character design stand out to attract the attention of the viewers.

3. Exaggeration

Exaggeration is pushing the movement or adding more exaggeration to the character's gestures and emotions.

4. Solid Drawing

Solid drawing is making the character look three-dimensional by giving it weight, depth and balance.

Practical

For practical we were tasked to design a character to be animated in upcoming work.

The first character is a frog person which I took inspiration from Adventure Time (art style). It was more simple and clean which I really like.

For the second character I drew a cat person which is a little bit more detailed than the frog. This was fun to draw but then I feel like it was not suitable or difficult to animate.
