This semester I initially decided to continue with my 2D animation work, attending the first session last week where we were able to study other peoples walk cycles and look at the movement in more depth. This lead to us being set a task to create a skip cycle. I worked on an initial sketch to first explore the movement, and then moved onto the version below which supplied more of a figure. It's still very simple so I will be working more to add a body and some character.
I have always been a bit on the fence about which style of animation I'd like to choose, so alongside this initial skip, I have also worked on the 3D task which was the animate a tiger for 100 frames. The video below shows my progress after only a short session of working on it. I had to study videos (such as one and two) of tigers walking to understand when each legs moved, alongside the turning of the feet and the sway of the body. I tried to include a little secondary animation too with the head and the tail, although this isn't so important until I get the primary animation to a good standard.
