Congrats to the winners!

The goal is not the results, it is the progress itself. ✨✨✨

I animate 2d and 3d and I like exploring hybrid options where I combine 3d for planning and tweening complex stuff and then use it as an aid for the 2d animation. But it goes both ways. Many animators I know improve their 3d animations, by doing scribbeling over their keyposes to optimize silhouettes and readability. It just makes sense to use the advantages of every tool available.

Fun fact about the Sun and the Moon: they only cover half a degree or 30 arc minutes of our vision. So if you take a punched piece of paper and hold it at an arms length the full Moon is going to fit right inside that little hole. (don't look directly into the Sun please)

Week 3 - went traditional

Week 3

Week 2

Another week - another approach. After getting lost in anatomical details I limited myself to broad strokes and tried pushing those static poses. This practice is good for us.

Haven't done gesture in a while - thanks Michael for the extra motivation to jump into it again!
