This weeks study was on arcs and path of action. Arcs are everywhere in life, the swaying of a branch, the swing of your arm, etc. Arcs give an organic feel and add life to your animation.

This pendulum lesson was a study on an organic action generated when forces like gravity are applied. This really sets us up for the next lesson when we work with Tailor a squish and stretch ball with a jointed tail.

Here I had to create a "devastating" pose for Stu.

Had to find dynamic poses in comic books and sketch them.
My references were from the following:
Burne Hogarth: Dynamic Anatomy
Frank Miller: Sin City

This week I had to use the principle of Squash and Stretch as a ball moves through an obstacle course.
