Character loop ideas

I started off by thinking about how my character would move and how it would look on screen. I drew the first character on the left hand side, I liked this idea but I wasn't to sure what would make him insteresting because there wasn't much I could do with him except to make him walk I wanted something that was more exciting, I did think about is eyes popping out but I thought this would be too hard to do. Two of my other ideas came from the bouncing ball exercise where the character or clock would roll while their face or clock hand would move. I liked this idea but I thought it would be quite simple and boring over a number of frames. I then came up with the idea of a moving zip, I thought I could add this to a charcter and make this its mouth. I was having trouble thinking of how my object or character would move. I thought about a balloon and how it is quite a simple object to draw a number of times but could be more interesting. I combined the idea of the zip and the ballon and started to add deatial to these ideas and I came up with this charcater.


I combined all of my ideas together to make one idea. I drew a basic shape of the balloon and the zip as I knew what the movement would be in these. I added the blue strip and head antena to make him look more exciting. I put these on him because they could also move if I wanted to add anymore movement or the eyes could blink after some time. All of these factors would make up a larger amount of frames.
