Animation exercises (Fall 2022)

These are the animation exercises I did during my first semester at
Sörängens folkhögskola's animation education program.
The exercises were mostly based on the 12 principles of animation
and Richard Williams' The Animator's Survival Kit.

These exercises were either animated traditionally with pen on paper or digitally with TV Paint.
