Magical Kitty Animation Process (Line Art)
Added 2023-11-16 04:05:03 +0000 UTCTo start off, here's the line art for a short practice animation I did. It features a magical little kitty casting a very powerful spell.
This was to demonstrate some of the principles of animation such as anticipation, follow through, and overlapping action. I really wanted to create a sense of force, so I had the kitty's arms (and whole body) kind of push back from the blast of the spell.
I also wanted to portray a sense of character through body language. There's a moment where the cat takes a deep breath before casting the spell, as if calming nerves. Then, afterward, the kitty hesitantly takes a peek with one eye.
