Procreate Dreams - Un guide complet de l’animation 2D

<p>Amazing work!! This is outstanding Maria! I'm sooo impressed - in every project you've really made the animation your own by modifying things and adding to the designs. This is so exciting to see. This work really points to a very creative career path for you if you are interested to develop your animation and design skills. I highly encourage you to keep going. Love the creativity that I see here. Why didn't I think to make the Ninja in black clothes? haha!! That works so well. </p><p>The run cycle is great and I love the stylized design - works much better than the hand drawn outlines - in fact this style is something which I'm currently working on for my next class. One thing I think you could change is to play with the timing of the trees, if they go by a bit faster it might read better. Also you could make the foreground trees faster than the background, that could also work. </p><p>The robot walk cycle is great!! Again, I really love the design. I see what you mean about the quirky, characterful walk! It's great as it is, but if you wanted to change it up, just lower the "Up" position slightly so the robot doesn't bounce up so much.</p><p>The bouncing bal project is also very good - one thing I noticed is that it "sticks" a bit on the first bounce, and I feel that it should have more "spring" here - I noticed that on the first bounce, there are 3 poses all touching the ground - the stretched pose coming down, the squashed contact pose, and then the next stretch pose. What I suggest is moving the 3rd pose up so that the ball goes from being squashed on the ground to bouncing high up immediately on the next pose. Hope this makes sense - but you want to give the feeling of a big spring up here. If you move that pose up into the arc, you'll have to move up the positions of the following poses, or take one or two of the poses out.<br />I hope this makes sense! Let me know if you have any questions!</p>

Hi Siobhan,
Many thanks for the feedback and helpful hints. I will, however, leave the robot walking cycle as it is. He would just loose character. But it is good to know how to modify it for future projects. 
And thanks again for the nice ideas and materials which you prepare for your courses. They are really inspiring.

Hi Siobhan,
I have fixed the bouncing ball. Both, the first and second bounce had 3 poses touching the ground. I have deleted the third pose in both cases. There was not really enough space to move them.
For the Ninja, I have modified the timing of the trees. I think it works better now, but I am not sure if the difference in speed between foreground and background trees is correct. 
Thanks again for the great course and feedback.

Ah great, both projects look better in my opinion, well done!! Thanks for taking the feedback on board and working on the changes, looks so good now :)

Thank you again. Your feedback is very helpful and encouraging.

<p>Now also the Ninja is running. I wanted to try if a Ninja in black clothes would read. I think that the running cycle works o.k.  But I had problems with the background. I decided to cut some of the foreground trees in order to avoid perfect camouflage.</p>

<p>Hi Siobhan,<br />Thanks for this further excellent course. So far, I have dealt with the ball and the robot. The Ninja will need to wait a bit. The robot walking cycle was a major challenge for me. But I am quite happy the way it turned out in the end. The way he walks  seems to fit to his  weired character. Not that I had planned it this way. I was quite happy to get him walk at all :)</p>
