Acme Punched! A 2D Animation Blog: No. 186: That Steamer Trunk Gag

Measurement and Weight

Here’s a drawing you’ll really feel however not see: a single body of
the trunk on influence, displaying its squashed kind.

Again in posts no. 142 and 144, I mentioned this scene intimately.  It reveals how even a big, sturdy man has hassle lifting and transferring the Previous Man’s ponderous trunk. It’s key to the entire movie as a result of you’ll preserve questioning how that previous man goes to maneuver the trunk in any respect, not to mention get it onto the airplane.

We come again to it now as a result of I’ve chosen it as the primary scene I intend to complete in ink and paint and with a background.

Let us take a look at the scene once more, in a brand new pencil check carried out with my cease movement app.

The drawings have now been tightened up so that there’s element within the renderings of the trunk and in just a few particulars on the person lifting it (i.e., some drag and observe by way of on his pants leg.)

Subsequent can be scanning the drawings as bitmaps, then importing them into Animate Professional as vector drawings, after which re-drawing them on a brand new layer. (Laborious, sure, however inform me one thing about animation that I do not know?) I can be establishing my inking model at this level and in addition including coloration.  Keep tuned!
