End of week assignment - Character Animation 02

This week our assignment was to create two walk cycles. We could choose between 4 walk cycles; The walk of a confident young man or woman, and the walk of a fragile old man or woman.

I chose to do a confident young man, and a fragile old man. I chose these because of the contrast between old and young, and I chose both to be male because since I am a male it's easier to get reference since I can make them myself.


Monday 14-16: Practice what I've learnt in class, and film references of myself.
Tuesday 14-16: Start blocking out the poses. Ask for feedback!
Wednesday 14-16: Get the posing down, and work on timing, ask for feedback!
Thursday 14-16: Timing, polish, timing and polish!
Friday 09-16: Polish, polish, deliver! 



Drawing

We also did a lot of drawing this week.

Idea development

My idea was to have a confident young man and fragile old man walk cycle. After recording myself I used the video as reference and drew the various poses I had when walking in character.

Finished product

Self evaluation

This week I feel I did okay. I paid a lot of attention in class and tried to really grasp what our teacher said. I also asked a lot for feedback, since it is key to getting better at what you do. It's easy to get blind to your own work, so getting feedback is very important in my opinion.
