My final turnaround didn't actually take that much time to complete. I think my character model definitely helped me and sped up the drawing process, as I only had to line up my drawings with the template underneath and try to keep the proportions and dimensions of her clothes and hair consistent, Which I think I did a pretty good job at doing, especially as I was drawing from my imagination rather than an actual object. She seems to fluctuate slightly in size and shape, but it isn't really too noticeable, and similarly to my last turnaround I completed as part of my visual language project, I quite like that she isn't perfect. She seems more stylised this way.
Character Turnaround in Fine Liner
As much as I liked my turnaround, I thought it would be much more successful if I added colour. Because I had the time to spare I went for it and added colour to my original frames using Photoshop. I'm glad I pushed myself to do this, as it is an improvement that I had never got around to doing with my other turn around projects. Not only this but I think the addition of colour just tops of the animation. The girl seems to be a lot less jumpy now that I have added colour, and it has just given it that finish that it needed. I shall have to try and push myself to add colour to future projects of this nature, as there definitely is a great improvement from my initial fine liner animation, and it looks more professional (in my opinion).
Added Colour to my Character Turnaround
Overall, I think I have been able to apply some of the knowledge I learnt whilst researching my essay very well, resulting in range of female characters that I feel are more representative of the average female form. I shall have to continue to look at the work I have produced for this project and apply it to future works, as creating more relatable characters, in my opinion, is very important.
