Students will need to create a moving part in one of their pre-existing digital drawings or in a new digital drawing. This could include an eye blinking, a tree blowing in the wind, an arm waving, etc. Below are a couple online tutorials to help explain the process using Timeline in Photoshop.
Click HERE for a video showing how to create a blinking eye. This video uses a photograph and does not have any actual drawing in it, but you can see the steps used to create different frames for the video timeline. You will have to create new layers with different steps of the drawing showing the movement of whatever area you chose. I want at least 4 frames created showing different steps of the movement. In this video the artist chose only two steps and it is very quick and choppy. If you choose an eye blinking, think about the different steps: the eyes open, 3/4 of the way open, half way closed, 3/4 of the way closed, and then closed. ***This VIDEO shows an animated character blinking. It also has a drawing demonstration which discusses the importance of layering. *** GOOD VIDEO!! |
