Animating the turtle


I'm now starting to animate the turtle which means my animation will soon be coming to an end- finally!

When it comes to drawing a character (fishes and the turtle) or a setting (the corals) I would draw the whole thing out on a layer and then copy and paste adjusting it to the frames I want it in. So for instance, for the corals I separated them into two drawings as I wanted to track the scene, and then I would gradually move the drawing until it's either on or off the screen. The more there is the longer it takes to draw, so the corals and the turtle took a while to do, whereas the fishes took seconds.

There are a few flaws that I've purposely made due to the lack of time I have left, such as the bubbles are repeated over and over even when the screen is tracking right, whereas in reality there would be new bubbles instead of ones that follow the screen.

My next steps are now to make the turtle swim up and over so we look at its belly - just like the video I took at the aquarium.
