Turn Around!

For this brief, we were given the task of creating a 12 frame turnaround of any interesting object of our choice. The purpose behind this became clear to me whilst drawing it, it made me think a lot about the consistency of the drawing through out and making something look fluid.

I decided to draw this guy because to be honest a lot of the characters and drawings I create, are deliberately quite unrealistic when it comes to their anatomy, so I thought this would get me used to drawing more realistically too, since that is the purpose of this object. I decided to use traditional animation for this, because I feel that is one of my strengths and I wanted to make this as fluid as possible. 

Over all I was pleased with this, considering I have never done a turn around before, however there are a few small details such as the chest and one of the hands which alter part way through. This did however get me thinking about paying more attention to small details, especially the ones which I don't always pick up on straight away when I have been drawing frame after frame. However this was really enjoyable and a really useful exercise!
