Observation of squirrel movement


During breaking time bring a package of sunflower seeds to Hyde park feed squirrels is the biggest fun thing for me, so I decide to observe their movement and try to draw a squirrel running animation.

feeding time

The squirrel’s tali is follow through, which is the difficult part for me to catch the movement.So I draw the key frame first.Is the orange part of animation.

Follow through shows that the tail’s movement is like number”8″.And as for the whole body movement, when it jump up and touch the floor should be slow, and when in the process will be quick, so the frame should be reduced. Also when after jump off tree like fly in the air their tail would be straight cause it will keep their body stable.
