One of my personal favorite projects are animation projects. I often start those for fun but am also not afraid to make some per request. Depending on the lenght of the animation, it will definately take me longer than my average illustration. My longest animation so far, being 3 minutes long, took me a little over a week to finish, while my shortest animation, the one showcased adove, took me around 6 hours to finish.
Process
In animations, I usually start out with a very rough sketch. It is almost never perfect as is, it is firstly done to just get the idea across and solidify planning.
Right after I finish the sketch up, I polish it and create some lineart on top. This is the halfway point of the animation.
After finishing the last step of the actual animation, the only things that are need to be done are; creating a background, optionally shading the character and positioning the frames.
At the end of the process, you get something like this!
