animating a bouncy ball

Through this exercise I quick discovered that I am terrible at drawing circles.

After having a quick induction to TVPaint I was able to get the grips of it pretty well and my first ball attempt was a football.

I tried to use the timing charts we’d been shown but numbers don’t do so well in my brain and it ended up confusing me more than helping me. I will keep trying to get my head around the idea though as I think it could be really helpful to get to grips with!

Next I tried animating a bowling ball.

Finally I worked on animating the water balloon which was by far my favourite, with trying to work out how it would move and animating its little wobbles. I also worked out where the pen stabilisation was on TVPaint so the line is a little cleaner too.
