This week I spent half my time working on the structure and the other half drawing/animating water.
We had trouble making the structure’s frame stand, and when we began attaching the fabric, we realized the fabric was too heavy for the rods to support, so we exchanged the fabric for a lighter weight and also made adjustments to the structure’s design of the frame.
As for the water, I figured out how to do the timeline animation and how to draw water bubbles digitally pretty well I think, so I’m pretty happy with it. This coming week, I’m drawing the background for the animation, animating little white glowy flecks to be overlaid on top of the animation to look like the water in which the octopus lives is moving around, and I’ll also be assisting with the structure some more. Something about measuring metal, I honestly don’t know what all I’ll be doing.
Here are my water drawings and what I have so far:
