2D Animation Study

Project Overview: After working in 3D animation, I wanted to explore 2D animation.

My Role: Animator

Platform: Procreate, Photoshop

Project Goal: To explore the medium of 2D animation with the constraint of each animation could only take me less than a day to complete.

Walk Cycle

I was curious to try a walk cycle. Using Procreate and Photoshop, I created a quick walk cycle with secondary animation effects. Had I had more time, I would have liked to have finished texturing the character and perhaps given them an environment to be walking around

Sunshine Animation

I wanted to try something that had a little bit more personality! Taking cue from one of my favorite childhood songs, I wanted to try a cute yawning little daisy.

Multiple Characters

Next, I wanted to try something that would include multiple characters. A silly little scene between lovers (or perhaps enemies?). I would have liked to animate the left character’s tentacles, and have fixed the right character’s flower had there been more time.

Halloween

A very simple animation, focusing more on different shading techniques, and a “less is more” technique.
