Unit 5: Animation Session 1.0 - Gesture Lines

Within this Animation session we started by drawing paper flowers but we weren’t allowed to look at our drawing while we were drawing we had to feel the lines and gestures that lines were giving us as we continued to draw. We had to get out how natural it felt to draw outlines and move onto drawing from the inside out and concentrating on the lines itself. We did a few drawings of the flower, trying it with our other hand, drawing faster and without so much care, it was good to learn but hard to break a habit.

After that we then moved onto two groups and had to draw each person doing a pose for a certain amount of time but worrying about the gesture lines and not so much on detail and outline. Throughout the time doing this our time drawing each other was shortened with each person so we had less time to draw them using there gesture lines with the pose so the drawings got a little frantic and messy.

We then moved onto starting a morphing session with our groups using the inanimate objects we were given. Within my group I had Amarit (Sorry if I spelt that wrong), Emma, Anita and Stich. I had to morph Stiches lamp into my automobile using around 19 frames. I have drawn all the frames and am ready to put them into Dragon to make a stop motion with the rest of the group, but with circumstances that have come up during these last few days I will have to sort it out and put it up on Thursday or Friday. Sorry about the inconvenience.
