Animation Arts: Workshops

TOON BOOM HARMONY INTRODUCTION: CHARACTER

First dip with Toon Boom Harmony. My first try creating a character in Harmony. We were learning how to use layers and Harmony system overall. I created Corn (Conelius), character that I really liked. I use him quite a lot in my projects I noticed.

FLYING CIRCLE

Flying circle was exercise dedicated to further study Harmony set-up and learn how to animate transitions. Lil birb.

RIGGING INTRODUCTION

Rigging and Nodes window. Pretty complicated approach but I excited to work with it more. I want to cover rigging and to get more skilled in it.

WALKING CIRCLE

Walking circle – exercise for animating character, giving character personality and learning animating with consistency. As you can see I chose to do Corn.

CHARACTER ANIMATION TEST (TOOLKITS)

One of 2D animation toolkits with Mario exercises. We were tasked with creating interesting character and doing short animation test with them.

My inspiration was mushroom and I used it as reference for characer’s hat and skirt shape.

I imagine it being magical forest occupant, that masks themself as a mushroom to avoid predators and unwanted attention.

CHARACTER WALK (TOOLKITS)

Another 2D animation exercise. This time we were studying walks. Each of us needed to select walking prompt, act it out ourselves and just with mental and physical memory animate it out no video or mirror reference.

I choose to to crab. It was quite confusing at first how to walk with four legs insed six, but I figured it out.
