III. PROCESS

To start, I went on Pinterest to find inspiration for my character. After getting confirmation that I didn't have to make a robotic-esque character, I decided to go for a cute cat character.

Figure 1.1: Pinterest References

As for the style, I decided to go for a low-poly inspired cat that would be easy to draw out as a beginner in both Animate and illustrating.

Figure 1.3: Final Sketch

I created 4 sketches, and after several votes from my friends, I decided to go with the right character. 

Figure 1.4: Animate Process

After completing the character, I also drew out a very simple background to complement the character, since the main animation would involve the background and the weather.

IV. FEEDBACK

Week 3:

No class!

Week 4:

I showed Mr Shamsul the sketch of my characters, and gave him the general lore or idea of the animation I wanted for exercise 2 and 3. He approved and told me to go ahead and start on animate. 

Week 5:

I showed Mr Shamsul the final character and he initially looked confused, but after explaining my ideas he approved.
