Layla: Blender Character +Animation Project

I decided I wanted to teach myself some animation and more blender skills. I can sculpt and model to a level appropriate for making image references and personal use but wanted to broaden my skills and see if I could look into some animation as it seemed really daunting.

I decided to create a low poly character for this as I am a fan of this aesthetic and thought this could be easier than a more complicated model. I designed my character and created a quick turnaround. I sculpted her as usual and then began working on UV's and textures. This was so satisfying to finally get my head around and really brought the simple model to life.

Rigging was the next stage and I feel confident in doing so now! I struggled a bit with some parts of the model not moving but was quickly able to remedy this.

Animation was annoying simple, my after effects skills were really transferable here but I will definitely have to polish up on posing and moving skills in the future!

This was such a fulfilling project and I am proud that I have grown my skill set!
