Traditional 2D hand-drawn animation, character motion & visual identity. Nemo Academy, Florence.
Interactive scene: a zoetrope. Twelve sculpted figures, each one frame of a walk cycle, stand on a spinning drum; seen at twelve frames per second they appear to walk. Click or press Enter to stop or start the drum; drag or use the arrow keys to turn it frame by frame.
Dereck Lizana — Traditional 2D hand-drawn animation, character motion & visual identity. Nemo Academy, Florence.
Twelve drawings. One step.
Every frame is a decision.
Animation is the craft of making still drawings breathe. I train in classical 2D animation at Nemo Academy in Florence, build 3D scenes and motion graphics, and write the code that brings them to the web.

Kip walks with you
My own character, 24 pencil drawings. Every bit of scroll is one drawing — scroll and Kip takes a step.

The Three Master Studies
Hand-Drawn 2D Artbook
Zero generic templates or automated shortcuts: three studies in weight, fluid smoke and joint articulation, drawn by hand at 24 frames per second.
One full stride in 24 drawings: weight shifting from foot to foot, the body rising and falling, tail and scarf overlapping a beat behind.

Twelve principles. Any medium.
Squash and stretch, anticipation, arcs, follow-through — the principles of animation were written for pencils. They work just as well for interfaces, shaders and systems.
