My first assignment in Class 1:



I got some suggestions for the hands and the left arm... 
Also my awesome mentor Elliott Roberts gave me great tips about my work and suggested to do it something like this:

Class 1 – Week 2 (Work In Progress)



“The Principles of Animation”


After meeting & greeting session, week 2 started with full swing! Our duty was simple, going to a public place with a sketchbook and draw some stick figures…
Purpose of this lesson is clear:
Observation!


We were asked to choose one of our sketches and pose STU by taking our drawing as a reference. There are few things that we should pay attention:
Line of action
Clarity
Silhouette
Exaggeration


 I tried some of my drawings on STU and came up with these:




Then I chose 2 of them and started to work on more detailed:




Almost finished...

Week 9 - Basic Animation 5

Assignment#10:


Week 8 - Basic Animation 4

Assignment#9:
This week we were given a robot arm rig, a green can and a rectangular prism. Our assignment was blocking of the robot arm to have it turn to can, pick up the can, then turn back to the box and set the can down.
To make this right, we used Locators and Constraints, which are a bit complex to understand at the beginning. But after getting used to them, they become really useful tools for an animator!
