Happy winter!

Welp, this is the last thing I'm going to post this year 

due to the semester being over. I hope everyone enjoys

thier winter break, if you're getting one (like me!)

The pan shot

Happy winter! While progressing my storyboards I came across a pan shot

amoungst the boring boards so I thought "let's show this!"

I started with a long storyboard, with the line through the sketch

to show where the shot begins and ends.

Then, I outlined all of the important stuff, or just things

in need of outlines. By the way: there is no character

animation in this shot, s that's the only reason

I decided to outline Jack along with the bg (background).

Coloring is as simple as keeping the base colors

I've been using... at least at this stage of my pan shots.

And I decided against including the fish from the

original drawing due to continuity issues

that would be raised from it.

Texturing is always a bit of a hastle, but no matter what

style you're going for its best to remember that further

objects have less detail, so texture less on

far objects (this is part of why my bg mountains 

never had outlines).

Remembering where I'd placed the sun is

a bit tedious, but using that memory I found the

spaces that need highlight and shadow

(minus my characters due to style synergy)

Lastly, I added a graident white to blue soft light over everything!

Black is what I'd normally use, but due to my pan shots

being better than shots with animation, I used complimentary

color shadows so that it comes out in a better mix.

This animation still has a ways to go, but there's definite progress being made.
