Little John, Sad in a Bar

Let's get back to animation assignments, shall we?

This assignment was originally done back during our 'Drawing for Animation' course with Mike Nguyen and Frederik Villumsen. Those two weeks were really awesome. We would start the day with Mike giving a talk on animation and how to approach the medium. He was very passionate about it and quite philosophical. Showed a lot of examples and reference as well. In the afternoons we would start with some drawing exercises and technical advice led by Frederik. After that we worked on assignments.

Speaking of the assignments, we did three the first week, just doing five storytelling keys for each and timing it out. Each assignment was a different scenario, one of which was 'Little John, sad in a bar'.

In the second week, we chose one assignment from the first week and broke down the movement even more. I chose the Little John one, 'cause it amused me the most.


The next course we had, after a holiday break, was 'Inbetweening for Animation' with Meelis Arulepp. The first week, we inbetweened a scene done by a pro, from the movie 'The Secret of Kells'. The second week, we inbetweened our scenes from the previous course.

However, upon reviewing the scene with Meelis, the drawings seemed very flat and unattractive. He suggested I change a few things on the drawings, but they were worked over so much that I decided to do the whole thing over again, this time paying more attention the volume of the character. Plus, I managed to inbetween it as well. Here's the final thing:
