2D Hand Turn - Sketch

This weeks task: Animate a cartoon hand turn

Oh no was my first thought. I like drawing hands, but (as we all know) they aren't the easiest.

The first section of this task was to draw a hand turning, using my hand as a reference. This is so I have a base/reference for my cartoon hand turn. Despite my initial worries, I think it went very well. The animation only takes up 15 frames, so I will do my final animation on 1s. However, for this version I just worked on 2s as it was a quick sketch test.

To start I drew frames 1, 9, and 15 to get the key frames. I then aligned each hand with one another, and added frames in between to make the motion smoother, and so each frame was on 2s.
