Digital Speed Paint - 3 Colour Challenge


I decided to promote my artwork by doing art challenges on YouTube, so I did the 3 colour challenge, where you use a random colour generator to select 3 colours that you can solely use to paint with. I ended up with two nice teal colours and a deep purple, so I mixed them to create more colours to work with and designed a cabbage patch fairy. I had a lot of fun and it was interesting working on a new project. Setting up my YouTube account and learning how to record and edit a painting video was a lot of fun and I feel like I've learned a lot from it. I hope to work on these more over summer.

Final Animation - Playground Project

I finally completed my playground animation after a lot of long stressful nights and an abundance of changes from my original animatic. It was a very interesting experience and I feel that I've learned a lot of new things through this process. I found it was a lot easier to visualise my end product by colouring a scene as soon as I completed it, rather than animating the whole thing first. Being able to see how it would look finished was motivating.


I tried to incorporate different movements, such as running, punching and swinging, things that I hadn't practiced animating before. I feel that I pulled it off well but with more time I could have given the movements more realism.
