Plaguedoctor animation 2/2

Background creation

And the work continues! Starting with background sketches. When also the plaguedoctor was just a sketch, I planned to make more of a simple background and this was the beginning of my sketch.

Then I wanted to make a bigger one so scaled it a bit:

I worked in a somewhat weird order with this peace and was happy with the sketchy background and started to create the front peaces first. Also the sketch was evolving all the time and I had some trouble with perspective.

2D animation Getting started with tools In the old days animations were drawn on special paper and then transferred onto clear acetate sheets called cels for painting. Then they were photographed frame by frame. Sounds like terrible amount of work, right? Well, hand drawn animators still create their animations frame by frame using very similar principles as in the beginning. So no laughing for poor animators of the old times. No need to give up either. Some things have changed! Cels are not in use anymore after scanning drawings into the computer for digital coloring became possible, and now many hand drawn animators skip paper altogether and draw directly into the computer using drawing tablets. So yes the process is getting faster all the time. Now that the idea is to become an animator and we have dropped paper and cells from the tools and have a fast glance on my desk where I have my XP-Pen ready for drawing digitally, it's time to choose (2D) animati...

Media Diary observation I use social media too much, but not more than most people. The social media platforms that I mainly use are Instagram and Youtube. I have Facebook account but I rarely use it. Can't really say to be an active poster in Instagram, but I do follow what others are doing. I follow a lot of artists and also keep up with some friends. I watch Youtube almost every day, usually look for tutorials but sometimes just watch random videos. If it's cute animal videos, good! If it's negative videos that only had an interesting thumbnail, wasted my time. And of course I watch films, series, read webcomics and play games. I find that they are better ways to consume media than mindless post scrolling. Spotify and Whatsapp are in my everyday use, and I like them because I don't feel quilty about talking with friends or listening music. I rarely go anywhere without listening to music and too many times fall asleep with headphones and music on, only to wake up t...

Plague doctor animation 1/2 It is time to make an animation with my favourite tool for it: Krita ! I'm starting with one that has been in my mind since the last spring, when Covid-19 inspired me with plague doctor animation idea. I have always found that mask they wore fascinating and because I like steampunk style was also planning to add that theme in the artwork. I made the first sketch and was planning to make a simple closeup animation of the character and maybe some birds flying in the background and a little bit of smoke. For some reason it never became more than an unfinished sketch, until now! I changed the plan and draw the sketch ready about the whole character, because in the 2/2 part I will make a city background for it with some animations. I made some slight changes and the final line art keeping in mind the parts I want to animate about the character and draw them to separate layers. Next part took long time but was the most exciting part of the process bec...
