Our second task was to experiment and explore possible ways to visually exaggerate portraiture of either ouselves or our friends and create a small animation exploring 2-3 epressions.
This was our first real hand drawn animation and I've failed it. I'm quite dissapointed in myself. I wasn't focused, didn't plan everything properly and kept pressuring wheter I'm going to finish it in time. The result is obvious.
The thing is that I've started sketching difficult charaters to animate and when I realised that I'm completely out of time I just drew something half-arsed as this. I knew that this isn't going to turn out well.
My mistakes and things I would change. First of all, there's no clear exaggeration shown here, just 'the stare'. It's not even an emotion! Second, I should add some movement to his mouth and brows. Because his face in whole looks rather stiff and run a line test I would definitely give this project another go. In whole, this is a good example of what not to do.
For this task I've refernced a cartoon called 'The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack', which gives a great example of exaggerated expressions. This scene especially.
