After researching cel animation I was pretty interested in creating an entire animation from individual drawings. I realise the workload this implies (approx. 300 frames for a piece just over 20 seconds) but whatevs patience is a virtue and it would look pretty boss. So I took a look at some illustration bad boys.
This is standard Frank Miller a personal favourite of mine, would be pretty hard to maintain this style of illustration throughout a 300 frame animation however I thought his work was worth a mention.
This is obviously the work of Quentin Blake who's work is indelibly associated with Roal Dahl's tales. His scribbly almost care free styles, I feel, would be much easier to emulate over an entire animation. Also I feel the randomness of 'scribbliness' would be a rather interesting effect when introduced into an animation. Similar to how the characters are coloured (in simple felt tip) in the children's programme 'Roobarb and Custard' I like how the scribbled aspects of the piece moves in individual frames.
Obviously if I am to pursue this method when creating my animation I will have to choose a method of animation that will be simple enough to repeat many many times and also hold my interest for the duration of the process.
This is an animation I found while searching online. It effectively uses the stop motion method of animation and incorporates some lovely illustration. Worth a watch.
