We having a few dog lifedrawing first and help us hav a rough understand of the how the dog walking at the begining.

then I move on to the deeper knowledge of the animal’s muscle.

When I change it to the actual animation walking, I made a lot of mistake.

first is can’t figure it out how the front leg and the back leg work with when they are moving.

so I move myself from real world reference and turn into find a method of dog walking in animation.

This is the first animation that I’ve created using TVPaint. Before starting the drawing process, the teacher used balls of varying sizes and weights, threw them at different angles, and observed their movements to compare the differences. The heaviest ball didn’t jump up much, but lighter materials like ping pong balls produced interesting follow-up jumps. I experimented with different bouncing ball performances and combined that with my knowledge of character string movements while jumping to create a final jumping rabbit.
