Bouncing Balls- 2D Drawing

This is the same assignment as the Maya software except I am drawing each frame instead of using a computer to add frames in for me. With 2D drawings, I can get away with severely distorting the shape of the ball and exaggerating the squash and stretch, this is not so easy to do with computer software as everything distorts according to the volume of the object. Some examples of exaggerated distortions in animation are below my videos.

Below is the heavy ball.

 

And the light ball.

 

 

 

 

Examples of exaggerated distortions in animation

 

Wile.e. Coyote has an elongated back and arms to suggest motion and speed.

 

 

This is an example of emphasised expression. Surprise is conveyed through the elongated neck, arms and legs. The expression such as the beak and eyes have also got bigger. The dog also has an exaggeration of the shoulders and a squashed neck to look hunched and angry.

 

Early Mickey Mouse cartoon showing the stretch of the donkey/horse's tail and the squash of the neck.

 

We may be able to see all these exaggerations now as still images but when these pictures last much less than a second on screen, we do not notice how out of proportion characters are.
