Animation & Illustration Research - Studying the Marine Life

In order to be able to draw these creatures better, and have them move more accuratley, I've spent some quality time looking at video footage of them in motion.

The reason for this is that it will get me used to their form, their function, the fluidity of each creature, as if i'm redrawing from scratch each time, it is in my best interest to become as familiar as possible with them.

The following videos show some of the footage I've been looking at.

BIRD IN FLIGHT



SHARKS SWIMMING



WHALE TAIL


Studying these videos will aid me immensely when it comes to understanding how they move and as a result, how best to draw each step of them doing just that. I'll keep watching others too, from different angles, as the more I can do with each creature, then the wider scope I'll have when it comes to assembling an animation with them.
