First I started off getting two pictures One of me as Batman at comic con and a Gotham illustration from the Arkham video games. I edit them on photo shop and Made it black and white.
And Boom! All shaded in!!! It ended up as 30x32 but hey I liked how it came out!!!
I also added some color on photoshop as a bonus to the black and white one.
In All I did somewhat enjoy making this. I mean I took a lot of my time to do each square but I loved how it came out in back and white. One thing I didn't realize was after I set up coloring each square 30 by 30 I didn't realize the grid I used was 30 by 28 so some distortions were made in the process but I came out close to the original piece.
I was really excited with this project since I'm studying to become an animator myself, but overtime I took a break and went back to continue this I got bored and drew something else. Reason why the animation keep changing and stuff. Even though I planed on doing something else I liked how this animation turned out.
I'm also taking the Animation class this semester and I already have a few hand drawn animations already made. This book however is the most I drew frame by frame.
I really didn't learn anything I didn't already know while doing this project. I did try some things I learned in my animation class such as the fire. Theres this thing called straight on or in-betweens which are two different ways to do hand drawn animation. Straight on is drawing each frame after the next, which is how I did this project. In-between is where you draw one frame or your Key frame then skip a few frames till what ever your object you're animating is in a new pose, then you animate the object turning into that new pose. So say you have a character raising his or her hand one key frame you have the hand down another key frame you have the hand up and the In-betweens are the frames the shows the hand moving up.
Even though I like having more control of the pen compared to animating on the computer, I prefer working on the computer than drawing in this book. Its a cool idea and I wish I had more free time to make something better, but because of work I kept rushing myself to finish and didn't take the time to enjoy what I was doing and make something good. And I like doing this stuff
I thought I was going to like Michael Feinstein on the song but after watching the videos of 50 percent I fell in love with Bea Arthur's take the most. I do think Michael Feinstein had a good voice but I was't too found of his performance especially compared to Bea Arthur who had feeling and soul in her performance
