Nice work, Owen! Hope you don't mind my comments...When I listen to this dialogue, I hear the beats a little differently:

rUle one, nO mineral, or vEgetable, Only animal

To me, the O in nO is a harder accent than the I in mineral, which is a more minor accent. The same with the O in Only- I think that's the main accent and the A in animal is the secondary one. Your thumbnails are great, but I would pair #4 with the O in nO, #6 with the O in Only, and #7 with the A in animal.

Great anatomy and fun poses. Her expression in pose 4 is my favorite. :D

I second that about the anatomy too, really great drawings Owen! I love the way you rendered Winnie's bloomers.... I had such a hard time figuring out how they where supposed to be drawn, I think I might use your pose #7 for reference from now on, if you don't mind......:D

Hey Owen!

Thanks for helping me with the posting issue on the assignment thread bud :), I was worried that would've caused a problem with Don and Dave.

All the Best,

Here's my test on 4s... mostly.

Looking very cool! awesome job.

[OwenWelsh]

When I asked Don to do a draw over for me of my weakest drawing he picked it and made it better. Now that I've begun to redraw my animation I'm realizing that every drawing was the weakest one! :laughing: Our drawings can always be stronger. I always find it easier to make the drawing look better once I have something to draw over. But if I don't have anything except a blank piece of paper, usually my first attempt isn't the best.

[zanekohler]

So true, I have been wanting to go over every drawing I have. All my extreme drawings no longer looked so extreme after seeing it in motion. Now I am looking at all the drawings and they all seem so tame. Crazy how that works. I guess that is the learning process.

My final test for tomorrow's class.

On 4s, some 2s and even some 1s!

Fantastic Job, Owen. You really nailed the acting and especially the DRAWINGS here. You said you redid everything.. and it shows! I really like how well you did her fabric to make it feel stretchy when pulled, and lax when at rest.
Also, your facial expressions are awesome as usual. Thats one thing you really, really always have down well.


I know you're often hard on yourself, so i hope you enjoy what you got. i frame by-framed it :)

[jeremyhopkins]

Agreed! I love it! There were a few thing in your pose test I was wondering how they were going to work but you managed to pull it off. Solid somewhat Kahl like hand drawings which is impressive and surprised me. Only tiny nitpick I have is once Winnie reaches the height of raised leg arc at 137, I think she should start coming down sooner. It feels like she sticks a little in mid air there. Everything else looks really great. Thanks for your suggestions too. I didn't quite get everything worked out in my scene but it's much improved thanks to your advice!

[OwenWelsh]

Thank you so much Nate and Jeremy. It means a lot to me because I know how talented you both are! I will tweak the timing around 137 so it speeds up. It will probably be very clear when I add the inbetweens.

[feliceworkshop]

Very nice, I'm impressed..again! LOL :)
I keep watching the whole animation, frame by frame and I keep appreciating it more and more. :cool:

[Phrogger]

So nice Owen! You really improved on it a lot from the last pass. Really great looking, and the turn makes it so dynamic!
