Wolf Animation - Final Sketches



These are the final drawings of the close up eyes of the wolf and the background that will be used in the animation. Lynda videos helped me with background layering. In the background, there will be more trees and moving along as the wolf runs by, showing some be far away behind the wolf and to the mountains, while others be close up in front of the wolf and closer to the screen to see more details as it passes by. The clouds are also on a different layer as they will be moving through the sky in the night. The challenges I had here was with the background shading, the colors were not blending together well and made the image look sloppy. But thanks to this mess-up, I discovered a new style/technique to shading the rest of the picture and future drawings, working with the mistake to make it come out interesting and beautiful.

The top drawing is of the close of view of the wolf's face/eyes for an important scene in the animation that will be put together later. The bottom drawing is of the main background for the animation, the one that will be seen the most through out the animation itself. Shading challenges came but was quickly fixed and turned out to be better than planned before. I will be adding in more trees in After Effects during the animation of them passing by as the wolf runs past them. The clouds will also be slowly moving by instead of just being still.

Now that all my drawings are done, I am ready and excited to start animating it all together and will post a sample of the running cycle of the wolf as soon as it is done.
