In this task we were set a challenge to create an animation by drawing a ball on a blank piece of paper by using graphite. This form of animation is called squash and stretch, this form of animation gives the illusion of weight and volume to a object.
The class and I were introduced to this form of animation as it is simple to complete and a good introduction to the subject of animation. As this was my first time doing animation I believe this was a good introduction and has taught me many techniques that I will be able to introduce into this terms project.
As we begun the task we had to begin by drawing a single circle which we later rubbed out after taking the photo, we then drew another two circles using the same process. Later into the task we begun to space out the circles to create the illusion and then it got to the ending of the process of the first section in which we had to draw the ball again but it was squished, this gives the illusion of the ball landing and hitting the floor.
After completing the first section of the process we did it again but with shorter distance on the bounce, this shows how the ball is slowing down to eventually stopping completely or going out of the frame. Below is the image of the end product and also the video attached.
