Animation drawings

I decided after experimenting with trying to take photos for my animation that it would be better to draw than to try to use photos. Drawing enables me to make futurist fragmented images and to make all my images tie together stylisticly. I was having alot of trouble making my images tie together, they looked out of place together. I always wanted to do drawings, but I was daunted by trying to make references to futurism in a drawing style that I would be able to keep up for all the images.

I drew a bar scene, and tried to make it fragmented


And then I drew the bar-person (narrator of the sound piece) and the person who orders beer at the beginning of the sound piece.


I drew an empty beer glass and then progressively filled it up and scanned it after each addition of more 'beer' so that I'll be able to animate a filling glass. Here are 3 of the frames as an example, but I did 14 different stages of fullness.


Here are some of the people who come to the bar


I spent quite a lot of time trying to make the typography for the piece show my influence of futurist typography. I arranged each group of words to fit together well, and not be just plain typography.


Some other drawings for the animation also drawn in fragments.
