Last week I started animation, I did 200 drawings in two days, tough. I'm probably going to finish the sequence I'm working on and then change a little bit the technique I'm using.
I will try to find a way to make animation a bite more... expressive, by animating straight with a pen.
It's going to be harder, but will save tones of paper and hopefully will make the drawings look much more "alive".
In the mean time let me introduce you to my LineTest, it's a setup that allows you to take pictures of drawings with a consistent lighting and framing.
You can check your animation much more quickly then when scanning drawing. When I say my line test I mean the one my friend Lucas lent me, thanks mate.
I'm using a D80 to take the pictures and icarus camera control to control the camera from the computer (Tethered)
