Quick Animation Studies

To get the feel for animation, I have been doing some quick studies by just going through the frames on a paused tv. The sketches are just rough and quickly sketched out so that I could see how the animation flowed. The first two are from Disney's Mickey Mouse In Living Color. The last one is from Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5. It was fun being able to see a sort of movement as I flipped through the pages.

This first one is from the opening scene of The Nifty Nineties (1941)

Pretty rough, but you can definitely see the action.







This second one is a lot faster action and a lot more fun to do, every frame seemed unique. It is from Plutopia (1951)

I think this one turned out better







The last one is from Gold Diggers Of '49 (1935). It's of Beans, and he is a lot easier to draw over and over again.

Came out ok, but rough. I think that I need to make me a light table.
