I visited the animation summer school at The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark this year. We got to learn a lot about the fundamentals and principles of animating and drawing. This was also my first (proper) introduction to using TVPaint and a Wacom tablet to animate digitally.

Here are some of the exercises I made to get a grasp on weight, volume, timing, spacing etcetera.

Bouncing ball on the spot

Bouncing ball forward

Cannon ball

Bouncing ball with tail

Waving hair

Morphing and looping

For the personal scene I made during the course, please see the dedicated blog post.
