Krita Animation - 8

349th day of 2020.

Side tracked to play with setting up a suitable workspace to my way of working. Compare to photoshop frame by frame animation, this sort of animation allow user to visualise the actual length of animation of each key frame better.

The con of Krita seemed to be unable to auto frame 'movement'. It can do opacity though.

Krita Animation - 6

347th day of 2020.

Compare to other elements, the hair is definitely the most detailed. Shading part for hair had always been challenging, pretty happy with it. Even though more complex than eyes, but in someways easier to pick back up due to the detailed line art.

Krita Animation - 5

346th day of 2020.

Decided to do simple shadow shading, the fan is the more difficult one unexpectedly.
