Going back to the hungry eyes animation I started last week, I realised that the animation wasn't clear enough, so I decided to go back to the drawing board and think of how to make this piece of animation clearer for the audience.
I decided to animate a tongue because I knew it's the best way to get across what I want the audience to know the character is feeling - hunger. I also animated a few saliva droplets to exaggerate the characters' hunger.
I also decided to animate the tongue in 2D and composite it with the eyes in post production because I want to try something new and feel the cartoon 2D tongue with the cartoon 3D eyes will compliment each other well.
Rough animation in Photoshop (repeated)
Final animation coloured in Photoshop (repeated)
I think this has worked well but I won't be able to tell if the whole thing works until I composite the eyes and the tongue together in After Effects later on.
