Blocking

Well I am in week ...umm...wait lemme check... Oh ok its week 8 in my first Semester and well things are going well and fast too, it is already coming up to the time where the next tuition payment is due and guess what folks I got it covered. Thank goodness I was really beginning to sweat there for a moment. lol Well upwards and onwards folks.

Thanks Animation Mentor

Well I learned a good and solid lesson this week, I need to learn to give up control and just jump out of the window. There is a away of animating and I am not even talking about Pose to Pose or Straight ahead or even a mixture of the two, I am talking about allowing yourself to go over board and exaggerate your task and then if it is too much then tone it down. I have spent too much time ramping up the exaggeraton little by little, and I think it is becasue I want sooooo badly to be right the first time. I am more and more coming to terms with the fact that I am not a machine and thats not gonna happen.

And I love it...!!!

I am absolutely loving my time at animation mentor I am currently in week 6 and this is overlapping week and from what I can tell it will be a barn burner lmao... Oh well here is picture I recently did, jus playing around.

More to come...

I have to say this is the one I am most proud of even to you all you may think that his fingers are doing dsomething weird but that is only because I have not animated the swords yet still a WIP.

Well these are my last animation before animation mentor dug there hands into my brain... To be honest I have already learned the preparation is extremely important and looking back at these past works made me realize, I would have finished these a whole lot quicker is I had planned every move. instead of start and stopping...lol I wasted alot of time doin that.
