Animation Workshop with James Holbart Pt 2: Blocking from Reference

   Continuing on with blocking from the last class, today was about expanding on the blocking process. We was to choose from either a personal reference, an extract from the  video: 50 ways to Sit (Kevin Perry) or James reference and block in the Key poses. 

  I decided to use James' reference and to follow along, leading to the following outcome. I need to complete one more key pose which will allow me to start thinking about second passes.

   I had also done one at home from the "50 Ways to Sit" video (thinking it was the homework), but I wasn't overly confident in the blocking. I seem to get the body too twisted and the head is a bit odd. Animating along with James gave me a much better insight in to the blocking process.

  I'm enjoying these classes a lot and am learning so much,  helping me to improve my animation. I just need to make sure to use these teachings when creating my final animation in my third year.
