WAIT A MINUTE!!! WHY DOES THAT LOOK GOOD?
I finally decided to try out making a simple paper animation, but I never thought I would be able to do it from the first time on paper, even in digital it wasn't very easy for me.
And to be honest I like the aesthetic of paper animation more, I don't know why, it's special in some way.
My attempt at animating trot using pencil, black calligraphy ink, and a bit of white gouache. The horse is moving away from the viewer at a bit of an angle so it was more difficult than my other attempts. I'm still very new to this so please don't judge it too harshly.
I had some fun with photoshop tonight fixing up this animation cell of Adam/the Beast after his transformation. If you look at the original cell, the 2nd image, you can see that the lighting and shadowing is incorrect to what animator Glen Keane intended, if you look at the third image; the light is intended to be from the bottom right and he’s meant to be viewed from below— you’re looking up at him. His right eye was also drifting away a bit, so I centered that and pushed up his mouth more to empathize the bottom of his chin.
You can really see the difference here
Does it work? That’s up to y’all. I always thought he was hot 🤷♀️
@bookishdruid
I would appreciate a reblog perhaps
EDIT: after some deranged nut operating on moon logic accused me of somehow contributing to corporate injustice against artists and spitting in the face of the animators who worked on this scene, I am forced to state that THIS WAS JUST FOF FUN. I’m not saying this edit is better than the original or that the movie gets bad marks on craftsmanship, I just wanted to share a silly photoshop edit. Dear god.
