Week 4 - Day Four

Had my usual Tutorial with Gary, I found it helpful because he showed me a video of how an advert by John Lewis was made using cutouts of what I think was wood. So same idea I had with my paper puppets but theirs more sturdy. I was shown it to explain the point of adding a base which could be hidden by something in the foreground, like the ground undulating in front of the creatures. Not only will it hide the bases but it also means I can hide the creatures feet too because I was finding on my first goes of drawing the lion the feet kept going wrong. Patience isn't always with me I suppose. Anyway after Gary suggested I test my fish cycle out I decided to put the scanned in images I had onto flash. I didn't like the results so I went back online to find some other examples. I found one youtube video that I found helpful i just need to get my own fish drawn. I have "morphings", so to speak, of the first fish that I am now redoing. So I have more than just a vague idea of how the fish will evolve and get legs. I tested my lion on photoshop and realised each step in the cycle is slightly different so I don't feel it will work well. I am now redoing my lion but have also found a decent walk cycle for a dog so everything should be able to get underway over Friday and the Weekend/Monday if I can make the time for it all (hopefully I can)
