Animation Works in Progress

A compilation of some of the WIP pics of the animation while I was still drawing it traditionally. At 2am on Monday, I went to all digital. The portion up to, but not including, where the bird jumps up and down on the cat's butt to get the cat off the window was all drawn traditionally. Everything else was drawn entirely digitally.

1. Drew a nice cat, then the mean cat from the animation. My apologies for its lack of cooperation for easy interpretation.

2. Lots and lots and lots of birds and a bird skeleton. Plus the cat, and some cat skeleton studies.

3. Lots and lots of birds, including one cat with wings. This was among the first drawings I did before drawing for the animation. It was when I got to the cat with wings that I realized what I wanted to draw for the animation.

Some of the cat and bird chase.

The bit where the bird lands on the cat's behind was actually done up digitally. I got incredibly lazy towards the tail end of 123 traditional drawings and just drew the bird that flies up onto the stationary cat.
