Today, I dove into animating a squirrel in Toon Boom Harmony—something I’ve never tackled before. It was definitely a challenge, but I spent hours studying squirrel movement through videos to capture their unique motions. It’s been an exciting process, and I’m really proud of the progress so far! Now, time to fine-tune and make it shine. #DeafArtist #Animator #2DAnimation #SquirrelAnimation #Art #Filmmaker

I've created my 3D character to be used as my avatar. I can't wait to capture its facial and body motions with the MoCap suit in January.

Working in progress

I’m so pleased to be back at work this week after being unwell with a horrible case of COVID for two weeks! Now, I’m diving back into my animated short film, and it’s coming along nicely. All the animation is done by hand-drawing, with backgrounds, foregrounds, and props painted in Photoshop. Over the past year, I’ve created several animated short films and learned a lot from each one. I’ve put a tremendous amount of work into this project, adding intricate details and animations to every scene. There are no shortcuts in animation—it’s a slow, meticulous process that requires countless drawings, paintings, and precise timing. But I truly enjoy creating animation, and I can’t wait to finish this one! #Animation #deafartist #animator #2danimation #2dart #motionpicture #toonboomharmony #workinginprogress #storyteling #writer #scripwiter #bslartist #art #creative #creativeart #creativeanimation #filmmaker

Animation of Victor Walking In this scene, I poured my creativity into every detail, illustrating vibrant backdrops, dynamic foreground elements, and intricate props in Photoshop. Crafting Victor’s walking animation was an exhilarating challenge, enhanced by the addition of atmospheric lighting and electrifying effects. I also incorporated smooth camera dolly movements to bring the action to life. It was an intense but rewarding journey, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out! #Animation #DigitalArt #CharacterDesign #AnimationProcess #ArtInProgress #VictorAnimation #PhotoshopArt #3DAnimation #CreativeJourney #IndieAnimation #ArtCommunity #AnimationLovers #LightingEffects #VisualStorytelling #MotionGraphics #proudartist

I’ve been trying out the new iPad app, Procreate Dream, that many artists have been talking about! I decided to give it a try, and it was amazing – all for a one-time payment of £20! Here’s my first attempt, just a short clip, and I really enjoyed the process. You can even create a film with this app. Here’s how I created it on my iPad: I illustrated the background image using the Procreate app. Once I finished, I imported all the drawings into Procreate Dream and started the animation. I also used the CapCut app to edit the animation scenes together and add a bit of special effects. Procreate Dream isn’t the easiest to use, as it involves hand-drawn animation and requires drawing skills. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t use it – give it a try and have fun!
