Week 9 (18/11/24) : 

Figure 1.1 

MIB (06/11/24)

• based of this guide, the number skipped are just the copies of the previous frame.
• the numbers in the drawing indicate a different drawing each time, and the numbers that are missing in between are just copies of the previous drawing.
• the distance in the numbers indicate the distance between each drawing
• go for the middle one first always.

Project 2(A) : Walk cycle Progress

Figure 1.3

Rough (08/11/24)

• For this I really followed the lecturers sketches but using my design instead.
• i did the body first before starting on the ears and tail which I made bounce up and down to create a more visually appealing animation.

Project 2(B) : Jump Animation Progress

• Doing the same process I did before following with an illustration guide book given by my lecturer 
• Started with the body and then once that was finalized, I moved on to the ears and tail by using the same steps that I was thought in the tail exercise done in class.

General Feedback - 

• make sure the size is consistent in every drawing.

Specific Feedback - 

• walking is fine, can submit it.
• no need to add color but if add, it would look better.
• jumping looks fine, next step is to follow the rest of the drawing using the guide given.

Week 11 (02/12/24) :

Specific Feedback - 

• Fill in the empty lines in the rough animation.

Week 12 (09/12/24) :

REFLECTION

In this class, the assignment to create a walk cycle and a jump animation was both challenging and rewarding. The in-class exercises played a significant role in helping me understand the principles of motion and timing, breaking down complex movements into manageable steps. Additionally, the feedback provided by the lecturer was incredibly valuable in refining my work, offering insights into how subtle adjustments could make the animations feel more natural and fluid. Through this process, I gained a deeper appreciation for the nuances of character animation and the importance of attention to detail. While the assignment required patience and precision, the support and guidance I received made it a fulfilling experience, and I was pleased with the results I achieved
