Hello my dear friends, I wanted to challenge myself this time, take a step forward, and try an animation I have never tried before, which is the animation of an anime girl spinning on herself or around herself, i.e. the movement of the body as it spins, runs and jumps. I have always wanted to do this, but I hesitated a lot, thinking that it was impossible for one person to do, and I postponed the matter for several years. .

But since we are in home quarantine, and I have a lot of free time, I said why not try, even if I make a mistake.
Indeed, more than a month ago I started on the matter of moving that anime girl, and it took me several days, but I would sometimes stop to take a break, and I recorded a video on how to do it, but unfortunately it was accidentally deleted. Anyway, I started and the beginning was smooth, as I quickly drew the body running, without using any source, and then I moved on to the next movement and drew it, and I tried as much as possible to draw the body in difficult positions that I had not drawn before, and during that I was thinking to myself that I would "suffer" a lot to move it later, but I continued.
After that, I watched the finished scenes and how they looked, and I added more movements, such as zooming in on the face, and then turning around on herself, and so on. What tired me out a little while moving was the school clothes she was wearing, especially the skirt. It also seems that I forgot the tie in the last frames, perhaps because it was my first time, and perhaps because I focused more on moving the body and forgot the details of the clothes, etc.
However, I reached the inking and coloring stage, which was the easiest as usual, and then the shading stage (the stage I absolutely hate). In fact, at this stage, I try to find ways to shorten the shading process for me. In the end, my easiest stage was the backgrounds and camera movement, in which I did not exert much effort.

I can now say that I have passed this exam with a good result. The animation, which I thought was difficult and scary, turned out to be easier than it seemed. Just a little patience, and boom, the impressive result appears. This has given me the motivation to continue and to try more difficult and complex animation in the future. .
