For the first loop I did an ostrich walking from left to right. I started by sketching out some small thumbnails in my sketchbook (pic at the bottom of the page) and later sketched out the rough frames of the animation, using a rectangle for the body and lines for the neck, head and legs. After I recorded it and was happy with how it moved I went back and drew on the details with a pen. Doing the leg animation gave me a bit of trouble but I think it turned out okay although a few extra frames would make it a lot more smooth.
I also did an endless tunnel loop to practice objects moving towards the viewer. I made this the same was as the previous one by starting with some rough thumbnail sketches and then moving to creating a rough animation. Originally I was planning to just keep it black and white however I thought that adding colour would help create the illusion of the image moving forward. Overall I think it looks nice although I could have made it a little longer.
Next I decided to practice animating a face to practice facial movement. I also made the shoulders rise a bit to make it a bit livelier. I didn't make as many thumbnails for this animation however I don't think that had any negative effect on the outcome as it's very simple. This loop was really fun to do and I really like it but I think it would look a lot better with a few extra frames.
After doing some traditional animation I decided to make a rough digital loop. I made the one above of a girl waving. For this one I decided to leave most of the image static and only focus on animating the hair, arm and shirt. I think it turned out quite well although the arm looks quite wonky so in the future I will look at video reference to make it look more realistic.
