Aim
This week I tried to draw a water effect. I will use some magic special effects in my Studio project, and the movement of the effects is completely different from that of humans and animals, the timing and rhythm will directly determine the visual effect of them. So I've been exploring how to make the effects more convincing in different ways.
Method
Clip Studio Paint & After Effect
Result
Test1 & 2 are frame-by-frame hand drawing animation. All drawing keep for 2 frames in test 1, and I made some change of timing in the second one. The third one is a keyframe animation with ease in-out made by After Effects.
Discussion
These three tests made me notice that even a one-frame difference in time can have a big impact on animation, especially for short special effects, and that a easing can make a different visual effect for the same duration of the animation
