SDA WORKS (2DBASIC)

Greetings and salutations, everyone! It really has been a long while since I've updated this blog but, it's better late than never, right? The past few terms have been a rollercoaster of a ride. A lot of good things happened as well as bad ones, really. This was the time that I got sick quite a lot and that I wasn't really that enthusiastic as I used to be. Despite all that, I've really learned a lot and I hope to practice what I've learned and be better than I used to be.

This time, I'll be tackling my works in 2DBASIC or The BASICS of 2D. This basically teaches us all about how to do two dimensional art as well as how to animate them. I really had fun with this subject because I like to draw and this basically helped me realize how tedious it is to animate scenes. The professor was also very kind and passionate with his work so, he gave us lectures and activities that're easy to understand.

This is the concept art for Little Miss Muffet.

I recall having long periods of rest when creating the concept art for the main character. I had to stare at my sketchpad for a long time in order to come up with a good idea. Seeing the various hairstyles, I think that having her with short hair suits her more than long hair. It was fun doing potential ideas for her and the spider.

Note: Music does not belong to me nor does the rhyme belong to me.It belongs to their respective owners.

Most of the time, we had discussions so, I'll just be posting my finals work. Our professor said that we will create a short video of a famous nursery rhyme. The one I chose was 'Little Miss Muffet'. The reason why I chose this is because it is a nursery rhyme quite forgotten and I wanted to try drawing spiders.

Creating this short animation was really challenging. What made it really challenging was the fact that I had to do this frame by frame. My hands were really tired after creating all the frames digitally, checking every detail if ever it's accurate or out of place. I need to be careful when it comes to animating things because I don't want anything to look off or weird. Despite all the challenging tasks in doing this, I had fun creating this short video and it was a good learning experience for me.
