*Layout* Dark Moon Layout

This was my first time ever drawing a proper layout on Photoshop,
so it was a challenge but I am happy with the results and will continue to play with different lights and tones to change the feeling of the layout.

Walk Cycles

My very first walk cycle...
It needs a lot of work...
XD

My second try and a walk cycle but this time I broke it down and only did the legs.
I will add the arms on my next one to complete the walk.


 My third shot  at doing a walk cycle, this time with arms as well. Its quite a casual walk.

My first attempt at a brisk walk, was meant to be a run but I am really still struggling on the timing and understanding it all.

Just the same one but slowed down (added an extra frame to each movement).

 Extended version of the first brisk walk.

Landing Birdy

After the failure of my Robin...
I moved on to trying to get a better landing bird and this time actually drew it out, starting with 3 main frames to begin with and then expanding it out into 25 frames.
Honestly I am quite proud XD 


An Updated version of the bird landing and then skipping off to fly again.



Robin Bounce Hop

Well...ermm...
My first attempt at animating a bird, his legs are a bit jumpy but I guess it will improve over time.
But I thought I would share the first step of my progress :3 

Bounce, Birdy, Bounce!!

[Denise] Tasks 1-5 - Animating 5 Balls

Here is my attempts at trying to animate different weights of balls.
1. Bowling Ball - a lot of weight so it wouldn't have much bounce.
2. Golf Ball - light weight but because of the material it wouldn't have much bounce of squash and stretch.
3. Basket Ball - Medium weight but naturally bouncy, so I used a lot of the squash and stretch for when it hits the ground.
4. Table Tennis Ball - Very light, very bouncy but not so much squash because its a harder material
5. Rugby Ball - This was the hardest as I know nothing about the weight or the way a rugby ball would land so I have to guess from the shape, that it would have enough weight to move forward at first but then go back on itself after the first bounce.

Feedback is welcomed XD
