For the second test, I wanted to look at creating the same sequence, but using a natural medium and traditional animation. This way, I will be able to test the affect of changing the texture and the technique has on the quality of line.
I decided that I wanted to use a medium that I wouldn't usually use, but one that would also allow for me to create a similar drawing style as the previous test. Therefore I decided to use a brush pen.
I found drawing this way to be a lot easier than drawing digitally. One of the main reasons is because I found it was easier to be more confident with my line on paper than it was on a tablet. Also the tactile feel of drawing on paper felt a lot better than the tactile feel of the tablet, as it felt more natural and I was able to control the pressure of the pen a lot more.
This came as quite a surprise to me, as I usually use digital methods to create my animations. However, I found that using a traditional method was easier and quicker than using a digital method. This finding relates to the statement that Joanna Quinn made during our interview that traditional animation allows her to be much more free and expressive with her line.
Overall, I am really pleased with the outcome of this animation. To my own surprise, I much prefer the overall look of this animation, as I feel that the lines have a lot more texture and hold a lot more energy, as I was able to control the pressure and the movement a lot better.
