Animation Time! - Sergio Rig


Today's Inspiration:
I consider myself a storyteller with a brush. I try to place myself back in imagined situations that would make interesting and appealing pictures. I am intent on producing paintings that relate to the human experience.

Frank - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Frank Rig.
Head - light sway side to side
Chest - twists to accentuate the swing of the arms
Hips - rotate to offset the chest and allow for the next step
Legs - medium low steps
Feet - drag back on the passing position, land with a little toe flop
Arms - hang down with a medium swing
Hands - dangle downward, with overlap and drag from the swing of the arms and forearms extending into the fingers and thumbs
