I had been contemplating attempting a frame-by-frame animation for years, but was hesitant to undertake such a challenging and information-intensive task. Nevertheless, I have completed my first serious hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation with 43 unique frames. While it is not perfect, and I still consider it a work in progress, a significant amount of work went into establishing the underlying animation structure, helper lines, and space helper constructions. I drew a rough outline layer over it, leaving out insignificant details. Many lines are still "dancing" and require fixing, some animation sub-sequences I could improve or change. Nonetheless, it has taken a great deal of time and effort, and I need a break and wanted to share my progress with you. Perhaps I will polish and color this animation in the future, but I believe sketchy animations have a unique charm, and I have seen many animations that looked far better before being colored.

And now to have some rest and see the sun a little x)
