Hello everyone (probably gonna be my introduction for every post), we are now in week 4 or 5 of school it has been really fun, I'm loving class even though I'm not doing as good as i would like to. I'm a slow worker and can get confused with toon boom sometimes but I'm getting better with it i guess, Has anyone heard of or is doing inktober? Inktober is a drawing challenge that happens every year at the start of October where there is a new theme everyday then you draw something based off of that theme and it MUST be drawn in ink, you can draw in pencil first then trace in ink though. This week during class i learned how to make objects speed up and slow down also how to fill in frames to make the animation less choppy. I still have a long way to go to get the hang of the software and I need to improve with my traditional skills along with my digital skills. In the future i would like to learn how to how to make a full length animation movie like the workflow of it, as i already know the process of it. Something that frustrated me this week was my shadows in my ball bounce wouldn't show over the background even though the solution was simple, (thanks Savannah!) I could've finish it that day would I'm kinda disappointed that i didn't but that's life i guess. I'm happy with the outcome of my pendulum which was Harry Potter inspired, I'll probably go back to it and fix it up more and make it better. Here's a link to the youtube animator Domic's video on his opinion on birthdays. Hopefully the link is clickable this time. Actually to save the hassle I just made it into a post. The post is called "Birthdays"

I just want to thank everyone and I will talk about everyone individually. Savannah : you've been one of my closest friends since kindergarten, I appreciate you so much even if I don't show it or say it. I love your optimism about everything and how you see the good in a lot of things and block out the bad. Annabelle : Your "honks" are always hilarious and lighten the mood no more how gloomy or quiet/awkward class might be. Thanks for handing out super cool insect stickers, which I still have on my wacom tablet! Even though things may seem hard and crumbling on top of you, keep at it! You're a great artist and it'll only get better from here. P.S. You're going to become a great clown! Keep at it! Lillian : What's brackin Lillian, how ya living?

Weekly stuff yahoooo

Hey y'all its Dwon/Dwonivan and I'm back from the dominican republic, it was a good time but also not great. Because of the trip, I've fallen super behind on the project like I'm still animating it sadly, which also means I'm definitely gonna have to pull an all nighter or two to finish it but it'll be worth it in the end.  I'm still kinda "scared" I guess about t doing the final project blog because with this project I barely used any references, well maybe enough? We shall see, but yeah don't be surprised if on Monday I'm still not done with the rough animation because it'll be a lot to do but I got this *dabs. I don't really have a choice anyway lol, it's either hand it in incomplete and get a failing grade or pull like two all nighters (not back to back ofc) and be able to finish it. I'd definitely choose the latter. The coloring shouldn't be too bad because my colors are probably gonna be mainly flat colors and stuf...

Timing

 Timing is essential when it comes to animation but also it helps you improve as an artist/animator as well. Animation veteran has sat down and taught us why timing is important and how it can also be fun to do also.     Timing involves how fast something moves and how long it stays still. Slowing an object represents weight, gravity, mass and speeding up an object adds speed, energy, and lightness. When working on timing, it is a good idea to work on the poses that you want in an animation, and number the poses as to where it breaks down, this allows you to know ahead of time if the rhythm is right and if the poses work out together or not.          Your key poses help set up how the rest of the poses will turn out, they aren't shown for that long, only for a quarter to half of a second but you can stretch out the time a little bit so your audience is able to see them. The amount of time a pose is shown can be different from any character depe...
