About the animations
This was a Wow!/Practice piece. The goal was to have 3-4 different animation styles of different kinds of animals. However, I was only able to complete about 3, and they were:
I had created drawings of them with oil pastels and given them personalities.
Coyote (Friendly neighbor) Flint (Rich spoiled poodle) and Gloria (Angry hairy screaming armadillo)
Flint's cycle
By far the most successful, 'cause it was pretty much finished!! I didn't have any time to add in his color/beautiful ear highlights, and I finished it using Paint Tool Sai and a Wacom Drawing Tablet (Intuos Blue)

While creating this short and choppy cycle, I faced a bit of challenge, so I Engaged & Persisted, not giving up on the cycle, removing and adding frames. My hand cramped a little while using the lightbox and paper. I couldn't flip through them with my motor skills, but I still was able to finish it as best I could.
Gloria's "Cycle"
Her cycle is not really considered a "cycle" 'cause she stops and that's the end of it. She doesn't keep going, she sits there after being dropped out of who knows what.
This one was the longest, but the one I really loved the best. I exercised my squash and stretch. I Reflected by thinking about how other people made kinds of animations like these. I know I would be able to explain the process about how these went from an armadillo to a bouncing ball.
Coyote's "Cycle"
Again, not that much of a cycle, since it really just stops and restarts. This one was a bit rushed, as I didn't have that much time. But I was able to Develop Craft by thinking about the techniques I would need to use like having keyframes/inbetweens and using the lightbox to my advantage.
Doodle of Elmo the falconry bird, who was discarded due to time limitations.
Overall,
I think that these came out decently, and I'm looking forward to being able to do more kinds of animation sometime in the future!
