Step by step of some of the process and work that went into the most recent Sarada animation. From rough sketches, to speed tests, smoothing, small notes etc...
My favorite part was definitely the chibi little character that helped with testing that last pose with haha The client had asked for a wave-like motion to her fingers. The added difficulty of her tongue swirling really made things interesting.
Hey, anything works if it gets the job done!
Fun fact! This animation was SUUUUPER long and required TONS of unique frames since it was a super slow animation with very detailed moving parts. (Think of that super slow scene with the sloth in Zootopia)
It also required taking into consideration transition animations as well so that she wasn't just clicking from one motion to the next abruptly. It's all seamless! So that's a neat trick to circumvent all of the drawing- If you are feeling particularly unsure about a certain pose, take a step back, chill, and draw yourself a bald stick figure. Nothing fancy.
Just enough to give you a good idea of the timing and motion of the animation. It beats having to draw things 10x over and over again.
