HOW TO BE A VILLAIN: PHASE EIGHT - ANIMATING

This is a video of all the scenes I animated in How to be a Villain. The video has no color, no sound and no backgrounds.

Below are screenshots of some of the scenes I animated. I used Toon Boom Studio 5 and primarily used the brush tool with smoothness set to low (level 2) and the minimum and maximum line thickness between 3 and 10. I insisted on using a low smoothness because I don't like the program to correct my lines to the point where the process of drawing feels artificial. I tend to draw with the grid switched on as well because it gives me a way to constantly measure the position of where the character is and the spacing/size of things like the eyes, mouth, hands, etc.

Within these three screenshots below, I used the camera to pan across the screen and/or zoom out of the shots.
