REFLECTION

As the midterm passes by, I have a lots of learnings that I gained about Animation and Illustration. First, let's talk about the illustration, for which I acquired the necessary drawing skills. I also discovered that there are two different kinds of drawing methods: traditional drawing and digital drawing. Using pencils, paper, rulers, erasers, and other traditional drawing tools is referred to as traditional drawing. While the term "digital drawing" describes the use of software to create works of art or drawings. I can able to draw the types of perspective in illustration, which improves our drawing abilities. It is challenging at that time since the lines must be traced, but with the aid of the step-by-step instructions, I am able to draw and create. On the other side, animation becomes the most complicated since there's a lot of things to consider before creating a animation. We used Adobe Animate to create an animation as our instructor gave us an activity. 

At first, it  had a very irritating user interface but produced a far more intricate and realistic result. It took 10 times as long, and I do believe that novices would find it challenging, but with enough practice, it may be absolutely wonderful to use. Being able to watch the animated version of my animation that I created  come to life was incredible and way cooler than editing just a background on other software, but it took much more time and effort. Even though learning about animation is challenging and tedious, it is great to see the results. It's amazing how good it feels when you succeed in bringing your character to life. It makes the laborious effort seem worthwhile.

I can say that the outcomes I was hoping for following the midterm were achieved. Our instructor has a good heart and long patience to teach us and give his knowledge  in order for us to have learnings about animation and illustration. Also, our classmates understands and help each other every time we make an activity. Overall, I am thankful that I know how to animate and illustrate, has a kind and humble instructor, and a classmates that are willing to help each other. I hope that this kind of treatment will continue and grow.
