Reflection on the Society of Illustrators

   The art piece I really admire from the Society of Ilustrations is the sketch of Ankou, it show's how the character looks; Ankou is seen with a bat-like helmet or hat with wings that stick up. The sketch is well executed because  there's lights and dark's. You also see where the dark's should be, and where the lights should be as well. For example under the chin of Ankou you see the shadows nicely placed causing a nice tone and doesn't look like Ankou is filled with nothing but dark tones. The tones are balanced and symmetrical, causing nice contrast.

Animation Project (Reflection on the animation)

 Experience-   I never did animation before so the pressure was there, and I was confuse on how I wanted my  story to be told. I wasn't used to drawing the same object or figure over and over in a different frame. My objective for the animation was to draw 100 frames but I failed and only made 10 frames. This became difficult because I didn't have enough material to produce a well develop ten second clip. My experience on this project tells me that you can't fall short in animation and you have to make better time management with assignments or projects revolving animation.

 What I learned- I learned how to use adobe premiere pro and to be able to remember the steps (my instructor) Ken had taught me I recorded the steps in my sketchbook so I wouldn't be able to forget them. Also I would be able to use the steps in upcoming assignments/ projects revolving around animation. Additionally,  the work I  did  in class  was poor quality and I know I could do way better work and I need to give myself more time management to  increase my skills and give myself a fair shot as an animator/ illustrator. I know  this poor quality  in work will not get far in the field of illustration. Lastly, I learned  drawing more frames won't have you repeating the same frames over and over because you'll have more material to use, and the animation will be smooth.       

What I can improve-  I can improve my animation by drawing my storyboard out more, and fully explaining what the story is suppose to explain and express. Draw more frames to increase more smooth animation and draw more figures  with decent amount of details. Also try to obtain a tripod to capture better photos when I have to use adobe premiere pro. Additionally, I have to learn to use adobe premiere pro better to improve animation production. Also, I cannot get lazy when developing frames because it will result in poor animation.
