Head Turn, Flying Bird, and Lower Body Walk Cycle Animation (BSA 126)

SHORT SIMPLE ANIMATION

Hi guys! After a long weekend finally school has started again. This time, me and my classmates are learning about several short simple animation,s such as how to make a head turn with our own character, how to animate a bird, as well as animating a lower body walk cycle. These are some of my work and I hope you all like it :)

1. Head Turn

I'm trying to give a smile expression while he is turning his head, as Caellum (my character's name) has finally succeed to achieve his goal. This short head turn consists of 5 frames which I animated it with ToonBoom Harmony and probably later on I will add several more frames to make it smoother.

2. Flying Bird

I made some wind effects for this cute little bird while it is flying. I might give some stretch and squash effects as well to make it become more and more realistic.

3. Lower Body Walk Cycle

Since I'm interested more in realistic characters (not cartoon style) so I'm trying to draw the legs proportionally and I hope this will help me as well when I'm going to animate my character.

Overall, this animation still not completely finished yet because I haven't make more details, especially for the background. I would like to hear your comments and critiques as well which will help me to improve my skill later on :) Thank you
