Your drawings are so smooth, I cant draw anywhere as near accurate with a tablet compared with pen and paper and so i end up with a wobbly animation.

The best part is he is using a mouse. :)

lol that surprised me a bit.

Your using a mouse, wow, impressive.

Here's where I'm up to so far, pretty rough ^^ I'm quite please with the motion of the t-shirt, but if any of it looks off let me know and I'll have a mess with it.

I haven't animated in SO long. So this is nice to get back in with an exercise =) Luis you better keep making these threads =p. And keep 'em simple ^_^

Gawd, this took way too long to make and it still turned out to be terrible. Lawl.

Awesome exercise so far I'm liking doing it... on this I think the shirt would flop up more and take longer to fall down when he brings it up, the force of the action in my mind would make that shirt flop up and down alot more (and slower). To me right now it seems like a semi flexible piece of metal rather than cloth at some points. Just some thoughts looks great so far.

I'll post how mines going so far in an hour or two, Can't even get my timing right, full body big action is hard for me >:(

I'll see if I can do something for this in the weekend, should be great practice :)

Is it to late to join? :O

It's just practice i think, so,
most likely.
If it isn't, i could really use some practice. :]

Aaaaahh fuck that i'm done with mine...

http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/3908/837 78_practice.php

really cool... i like how you have all the key parts of the movement in there.. its effective.. id be interested in the future, to see you integrate the head into his actions... like having him stretch his neck out as hes fitting into the sleeve. Subtle little mannerisms like that will really help you sell the idea and show your vast understanding of how things work. i think the first few frames are a little weak.. since the task deals with animating clothing and how humans interact with it, it would have been nice to have not rushed the beginning so it doesnt look like lump of chewed gum turning into a jacket. His yank from the coat rack woulda sent the sleeves flying and it woulda been a nice touch.

Again good work tho, im just trying to find points to offer. I think you have the gist of how to do it.

Whipped this up in about an hour
i would like to hear what you think.

Not too much happening. Maybe add arms?

Guh got distracted and fell asleep, not sure if I'm going to finish this (I wish I could go from my animactic to final like luis but I can't :( ) here's what I have I'd appreciate some crit/feedback.

(on my next pass I'd fix the sock flop and clean up the bodies and redraw the head each frame and do some more inbetweening just fyi)
The timing and arcs on the hops look wrong to me any ideas why?

http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/3908/619 27_sockhop.php

You almost let me forget how much I suck at animating =)

One of the frames got moved to the left it really bothered me so I fixed it, sorry for the double post.

Over all it was good. I just suggest picking a different fall position rather than the split. It seemed really unnatural to me and it kinda ruined the flow of movement.

i agree. also it doesnt look like head is attached to a neck, it just kinda kept its position the whole time. you have to think of your head being on a spring ... itll wabble around like a bobble head kinda

Thanks =) Really appreciate the feedback. As for the splits I think I might just have the timing of the action wrong making it look wonky. Every time I act it out the foot I'm holding seems to shoot out to try to catch my body, I might have just convinced myself thats the way I'd naturally act by drawing it though. I'll work on the neck up to the fall to see if I come up with what he should be doing.

Here's mine. Took about an hour and a half to two hours.

Hmm... something about his left arm annoys me, but I can't put my finger on it...
I realize that it's behind his back, but I don't think it moves out enough, if you know what I'm saying.

Apart from that, it looks really good.

Nice drawings and detail but he looks really stiff, But by his expression it kinda fits in. And yeah, the left (his right) arm dosn't seem to bend and shoots out oddly. Other than that i think its great.

Here is something I tried to whip up. Looks alright. Commmments? :D

Where's the link?

It's looks nice, but I noticed the right arm does not go in. Nice anyway. ;3

It looks a bit stiff to me the shoulders kind of swing around to get the jacket to my other arm, I also agree that the characters left arm should do a little more. Overall it looks great though =)

Ha wow, i didn't even realize that. I got so lazy towards the end. Forgive me.

I kinda messed up on the right (his left) leg. It just flies through his hand, lol. Other than that though, I think I conveyed the movements quite well. Still, any critique?

i think it looks pretty good... my animation also had his leg flying through his hand actually. its a tough sequence and its tough to show it in an animation, putting on pants is alot more complex than it might seem.. anyway i find him to be a bit stiff... he would topple if his leg was perfectly straight and stiff when he is on one leg.... stand on one leg and just kinda stand there and study how your weight is shifting and your body working to hold itself up on just one leg.. youll find its tougher to stay up if you lock your leg straight.. you can get better leverage with a slight bend in it. also be careful to not let your figure slide and change size. he looks like he gets smaller as the sequence goes on.

Good point, thanks. I suppose he is pretty stiff as it is.

also be careful to not let your figure slide and change size. he looks like he gets smaller as the sequence goes on.

Yeah, that's always been a problem for me. My characters always shrink. Even though I make skeleton animations and all that crap, I still mess up :P

Anyway, thanks for the crits, and for making this thread. I'll try to participate in these :)

Dont have the time to be putting much time into these things. But as long as its something. : /
