Practicing my Follow Through (OUAN402)

A quick line test where I practice the principle of squash and stretch. I returned to using the light box and pegboard for this short animation because I love the smooth smooth feeling of it and I've missed the connection that I don't feel with a graphics pad. Also, I like using a light box because it makes me feel like an old timey animator from the past.

I am pleased with how this turned out. I had to add a few frames after my first line test to avoid parts of the animation being too jumpy. Were I to do it again, I would exaggerate the swing of the beard and the hat more, just for fun and to see how far I could go with the principle of follow through.

UPDATE. I actually DID do it again, in a sweet digital remastering. I'm more pleased with this version.
