Wanting to move towards full body motion and thinking in more of a 3D space.

I have animated an arm FLEXING to see if I could. Next I'll animate a head turning, and probably an arm waving, maybe some in-tandem stuff like a whole torso.

And the start of the project, I had started with trying to create large animations from the get go, with little to no experience in the field. Going through I ended up doing only character sketches or really quick and messy sketch animations with no thought put into them. But now I'm returning back to animation, with short and clean animations that really focus on practice. So today I started by working on the basics of motion, smears and the like. The faded blue ball, was my first attempt at bouncing, I felt it didn't feel "alive" so I went back and redid it. The Red ball being more bouncy, I added more frames when it was "tossed" and more impact frames, while also adding action lines and letting it stay in the air longer after being tossed.

Made a small gif of a character breathing and moving their head.

I coloured and altered the sketch of myself with a sword.

I got a sword for early christmas, so I drew myself with it. And added a pilot to the giant robot.
