Dance Animation
One of the biggest inspirations for me, as an animator, is dance.
My goal with this project is to capture the unique movements of each dancer
and focus on timing.

The process
Capturing the flow of the movement is the most important thing, so I started by drawing abstract figures while the dance video was playing. Trying to understand which movements go fast and which ones are slower.
After that, it was time for tighter sketches to fully grasp the dancer's personal style.
