Description This is a pencil test I did while waiting in jury duty. I have this idea where I do this pencil test as a base, but for the final I do every frame as a completely different character design from the previous frame. 37 designs in all. I hope this ends up looking cool. If not, then at least it will be a fun experiment. I plan on uploading each design onto DA as I progress. Hope this works! We'll see!

It's traditional hand-drawn 2D animation.

Plastic Animation Paper.Β  I think they've changed it to just "animation paper" now.

i myself am studying animation.. how do you do it? like.. able to keep it so clean?... when i do it it doesn't come out right.. :C

basakward In reply to Acruxic [2012-10-26 20:14:35 +0000 UTC]

I didn't really think it was clean! Haha! I'm glad you like it! Animation takes a lot of practice. I suggest Richard Williams's "Animator's Survival Kit" It really helped me when I was starting out.
