From my last shot I learnt to block the different motions, then go through the one at a time. I found this overall improved my production quality. I also worked at foreshortening the ears and learnt a lot about perspective of the mouse's components. Overall I found I improved a lot on this shot from the last.
A student posted on our course Facebook group a guide to animating lightning. I decided to give it a try and added a glow effect. I'm quite happy with how it turned out, and would like more opportunities to try 2D effects.
I started these keys about 2 weeks ago and I've had a lot of trouble with them. I think it's because of the long duration of the shot that I've had such a problem with it. I tried my best, but will come back to it to edit the pacing and action poses later.
Using internet sources online I experimented with some features in Photoshop. I researched about the uses of clipping layers and different modes and their uses. I also used prior knowledge on glow FX features to give a funky luminescence vibe to some aspects. I spent a lot of time just playing around with features but found this incredibly resourceful to use in future Photoshop painting.
