My Pack of Wolves

This is my class project!
I wanted to create a pack of stickers, featuring a wolf character I designed some time ago.

From there, I brainstormed thinking about what kind of stickers I could need and use, for instance on slide presentations, or in my newsletters and social media.

I figured the "categories" of stickers I need the most are
- "welcome stickers"
- "celebratory stickers"
- "showing stickers"
- "contact stickers"

After a first round of rough sketches and ideas, I picked my favorite ones and I finalized the illustrations, with a minimal color palette.

Here are the illustrations:

Once the illustrations are ready and I had in mind some actions for my tickers, I jumped into Animation:

I made some simple boiling animations, like this one

Some slightly more complicated with a simple animation of one element (blink + legs in this case)



And finally, for the most complex animation, I wanted to make a full animation, frame by frame of the wolf jumping.
I first did some rough sketches. Sometimes I do them on a piece of paper, sometimes directly in the timeline.

And two hours of animation later, here is the result of the jumping wolfy:

EXTRA: as you could see from the Bonus lesson in the class, I then used my designs to make real-life old-school stickers, and I might make them soon also into temporary tattoos!
Do you have other ideas to reuse your beautiful pack of illustrations/animations?

Can't wait to read you, see your sketches and ideas :)
