Anatomy & Movement

This particular topic proved to most useful as it allows animaitors to observe the way they move in motion. From examining this sketch the animator can tell the weight / balance that the subject is showing as he is sitting on a sofa focusing on his aunty's phone . 

But the major downfall was not being able to draw all of the motions displayed by the subject as they move from one point to the next point. However the artist could benefit from making more gesture drawings as the subject may not appreciate staying in one position for more than five seconds.There are positive elements & negative elements about the sketches .

The positive aspect of the anatomy & movements sketch is the fact that the artist managed to sketch their nephew just before they moved from one position to the next few poses. The animator managed to bring across in the sketch the fact that they were focusing on the iPad with intense concentration. Look at the way the head is facing the screen now this shows that the young boy will suffer from neck pain in the future. As you can tell by the body language the young boy is relaxed.

 Now moving onto the aspects that could be improved for the next sketches. If we look at the next key poses  we can see that they have been left incomplete as the young boy asked to leave in a hurry. But the artist did managed to get down a brief gesture of each pose as their beloved nephew ran from the tv room. This sketch proved to be a difficult task as it tested the artist with his time management skills as every second is precious.
