Sketchbook: Pereiraccoon

Pereiraccoon

Hello, I've been wanting to make a digital sketchbook of my animation exercises and such since a while but I've only had the courage to post now since I've been doing more and more.

This sketchbook will have mostly animations in all of the phases I post, depending on the speed of their progress or when I feel they're worth posting down. It'll also probably have some drawings once in a while since it's a sketchbook and I come from a 2D background anyway.

C&C is MORE THAN WELCOME! I thank you in advance for spending the time to give some in case you do.

Since this is my beginning, I'll start with a blocking phase of a simple body mechanics practice I've been doing to take the rust off from summer holidays.

Nice! Looking forward for more.

today's update on my animation. Applied feedback given to me by AnimState users Sonny and AnimationMerc. Very kind and helpful people!

Pereiraccoon

Today's practice + updates, I need to organize my time better and spend more time progressing faster in animation. Regardless, going at a steady rhythm, it helps tons.

Pereiraccoon

Today was a weak day, the hot air made me feel lazier than usual. Next post will probably be a bit better.

Tested AnimTools a bit to see how fast I could make a test walk cycle, it was pretty nice I guess. 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Didn't have internet yesterday so, here the unposted dose and today's dose. Almost done with animation, oof. I'm too slow with exercises.

Pereiraccoon

Done with this exercise for today, didn't go past the 1st spline because I wanna do more exercises rather than possibly ruin this further.

With my birthday and family requiring my time I had hit a pause, but after that I resumed with an animation that I "finished" today and by finished I mean, I don't wanna touch it anymore. It didn't go well, it sucks but I have to post it to remind myself in the future that without practice I won't get any better than what this is. This is/was for a collab animation for AnimState, wonderful people and wonderful community of animators all around. This dance animation is 30 FPS and was based on the beats of the music Tightrope by Janelle Monae.

Today's test, I decided to see if I could do 2D FX in blender, it worked through the use of nodes in blender cycles, loved it to be honest but I'll have to try something more ambitious later on to see if it really works on a more complex level.

Here's the node setup I used for the Fire Ring (also used on the supposed blue lines that act as a sword trail)

Pereiraccoon

Trying to post my latest sketches here, it's kinda buggy I can't tell.

Edit: can't post images directly through posts now, it's bugged. Will have to use imgur or something later on.

2nd Edit: Fixed with imgur link with older drawings' post.

Today started a project, but the morning kicked off with some posing and gesture drawing. Tried digital drawing at least to start getting used to it and it took forever to get a bad result so, I'll have to restructure my approach.

Working on an ultimate attack animation for a collab, however I wanted to do the intro setup first. I'm not doing great. Sigh.

Pereiraccoon

Fair bit of practice on her walk again, had to get a good bit of reference for this one.

My first week of AnimTober, spell circle was done on Saturday and animation was done on Sunday in a few hours.

Pereiraccoon

Decided to spend some time doing club animations for this wednesday, with focus on anticipation and timing + spacing.

Pereiraccoon

Finished the crazy bouncing ball animation, worked on feedback and tried to make it a bit more "dressed up".

Pereiraccoon

Long time no see, university is being a bit annoying with the stuff it asks for which isn't animation but alright, here's something I've been doing. (previous iterations in syncsketch).

I welcome all feedback given.

Finished the walk, decided to remove weapon since I'm no good at it yet.

Animation practice

Pereiraccoon

Did something fast today for the club mission I posted which was anticipation, action, overshoot, recovery.

It's a bit large unfortunately as an animated gif.

Pereiraccoon

What I've been up to for the month or so in animation.

The blocking I've done it like 1-2 weeks ago and am going to progress further into it.

The motion graphics video I finished yesterday.

Updated my run animation. Leaving it be until further need.

Been working on this for the past few days, it's going ok so far, my first attack sequence animation. Appreciate any feedback!

Pereiraccoon

My graduation showreel. The "showreal" is a joke because our professor's last name is "real" and it being close to reel I just changed it as a joke.

Pereiraccoon

My first ever gamejam!l Great time, and we actually finished the game! It was pretty smooth actually, of course there was stress but it went really well to be honest.tual

Pereiraccoon

Done with my week break, friend left back to DK so today I spent some 30 minutes trying to get the rust off of my system and my fear of getting started with animating something random and by drawing, since I'm trying to get more friendly with my tablet again.

Pereiraccoon

For this week's mission of the club.

Pereiraccoon

Club mission 2.

Pereiraccoon

So with animjam over, this is my attempt and my team's attempt.

Pereiraccoon

Exercise on smears and overlap etc.
Version 2 - first iteration
Version 1 - post feedback and some actual check of references and self recording to see why elbow kept being nasty.

Pereiraccoon

Something I wanted to test to see if the 2D animation would work well in a 3D environment, in a very basic form and state.

I have yet to test blendshapes but I'll probably re-do these tests once I have the model complete and with correct topology.

Pereiraccoon

Latest club mission.

(It's 31 of May right now as I'm posting, this should've been posted 3 weeks ago but apparently "post reply" didn't work at that time, this is outdated.)

Pereiraccoon

Semester is over, so is the project I attempted.

Pereiraccoon

Summer map begins.

Newest finished animation I've been working on.

Edit: optimized gif

Pereiraccoon

Attempted exercise for a game animation.

Pereiraccoon

Another game animation exercise.

Pereiraccoon

I did this animated poster for my animation club.

Pereiraccoon

Been working on a dance animation! Still in blocking but any feedback is welcome of course.

Note: I forgot about the rakkord break in the AnimTober animation that you can see here. At the start I thought of putting an "enemy" but I yucked that one up. Oops.

on man that snap is on point

Pereiraccoon

Hahah thanks.

I haven't posted updates in a while.

Animtober week 4 - Dark

Animtober week 3 - Treasure

More wips I'm working on.

Doing Animation sets for characters I wanted to animate for a while, like Nia from Andrei Mishanin ( twitter: https://twitter.com/andmish)

Also made a proxy for a rig that I'm gonna do a better model of, but now I can animate it! Excited for it.

Pereiraccoon

Playing around with the simple rig I made for future animations in blender.

Wanted to test some smears using lattices and such as I've wanted to try that out for a long time!

Still gotta clean it up and make it better.

Thank you Andrew! Looking forward to share more work I'm progressing on: ^^

Working on an attack animation~

Gotta work on feedback and notes until tuesday and onward.

Wish me luck.
