The final outlines are done. I might use this as a template for drawing other characters dancing but for now this will be the animation.

Charleston 04
The inbetweens are added. I was amazed how smooth the animation flowed with the inbetweens- especially since they’re in such saturated, bright colours. Two frames had half of the drawing switched because the motion and flow looked better. I’ll admit I had to get one of my own shoes as reference so I could draw… Continue reading Charleston 04
Charleston 03
The breakdowns were the next part of this animation. The breakdown poses were in orange to be easily identified from the keyframes. The animation is definitely looking better but has a long way to go. Especially since the next run of breakdowns meant I had to break the joints for the movement to really work.… Continue reading Charleston 03
Charleston 02
After I scanned the planning poses, I scaled them in Sketchbook and outlined them in blue. The green lines and ‘X’s were to help with scaling and the height change during the dance. It’s a short clip but there’s already a lot going on. The final animation will have a black outline but for now… Continue reading Charleston 02
Charleston 01
I wanted to learn how to dance the Charleston, so I watched a tutorial on how to do so. My skills aren’t the best so I decided to animate it instead… as if that’s any easier! These are the planning sketches I made using the tutorial video as reference. The scan quality may not be… Continue reading Charleston 01
Australian Animals
I decided to draw ten Australian animals. Thankfully I could remember ten off the top of my head, four of which are birds to give some variety. I didn’t like how my first drawing attempts turned out, because even though I was looking at photo references, the proportions were never quite right. So I did… Continue reading Australian Animals
Masquerade Dress 02
With the paper draft from before, and some pictures from Google, I finished drawing the draft of the dress. It was MUCH easier to get the shapes and designs right with references right there. It turned out better than I expected, and this is just the draft. A few notes The first change was that… Continue reading Masquerade Dress 02
Masquerade Dress 01
I was inspired and decided to draw an OC of mine (Original Character) in a masquerade dress. The only problem was that I didn’t have a dress design to use. This led to some brainstorming and eventually I settled on a mix of Tudor, Renaissance and Regency style, particularly of English and French influence. It… Continue reading Masquerade Dress 01
Hornet Fan Animation
I’m part of a project for voicing a Hollow Knight mod, (which is still in development) but one of the things that happened is the director for the project played a game of Hollow Knight with another mod while many of us voice actors were watching. It was a lot of fun and one of… Continue reading Hornet Fan Animation
Water Droplet
This is a little animation I did to practice timing and water movement. I’d done an animation with water but decided to try a singular drop with light reflection. Trying to draw something this realistic was a challenge but a fun one since usually I draw with lineart. The partial inspiration was from Bambi’s Little… Continue reading Water Droplet
