Clean Up

Like everything else at this school (or everything about animation for that matter) i like the process of clean up, its just that I rarely do clean up drawings, and my clean lines are often really rough. I am not crazy for clean up, but it's nice to sit and draw. I just prefer sketches, and can you really blame me? Sketches are awesome, matter of fact! Lucky for me our teacher, this week it's Slaven, don't want really clean lines. Life savior!

Anyways, back on track, it doesn't help that the character is Balto from, yeah you guessed it, Balto. Through that movie that dog changes design 5 billion times, just in our reference sheets he changes. So the task is to make it consistent and not necessarily make it look like Balto.

here is what i have so far, i slowed it down a bit in the last part, else you cant really see whats going on.

It is what it is. The animation we got was pretty ruff, and i think i did pretty okay, there's still some details to be fixed, and right now i can't see if the lines really are consistent or not, but i suspect they can be worked on still.
