Introduction
This week, I focused on making some research on different cartoony techniques used in animation and then I started with my blocking process.
Cartoony Techniques
I used two main books to further my studies in cartoony animation techniques:
- Cartoon Character Animation with Maya: Mastering the Art of Exaggerated Animation by Keith Osborn.
- The Animator’s Survival Kit by Richard E. Williams.
Smear
I will create smear frames to simulate motion blur when my character moves from one place to another one.
Multiple Limbs
I will use multiple limbs in my animation to exaggerate when my character is about to run.
Animation – Process
To start working on my animation, I divided the sequence into three different parts, as I wanted to break my main task down into more manageable pieces.
