Looping Character Task

This task was similar to the bouncing ball exercise, we were to use the same number of frames or less to create a short, hand drawn animation. The only difference is it had to loop, meaning the animation could repeat over and over and the end of the animation re connects with the beginning.

We had to design our own character for this task, so the first step was creating the character. This task was inspired by BLU, a famous street artist. So our character was to be in the style of street art.

I’m happy to admit that drawing is not my greatest strength, if I combined this with the fact that this character had to be drawn 32 times, I decided I need to keep it simple. The animation I chose was a flying-square shaped character smoking a cigarette.

The animation was of him flying and taking a drag on his cigarette.
