Using sketches from Life Drawing with a Model #10 and Animating them.

1. 5 Minute Sketches. 2. 20 Minute Sketches - RIGHT - Draw Through Method. - LEFT - Focus on Hands and Feet.

With the outcome I have produced I feel that I have embodied at least some of these aspects into the 2 minute clip.  Since this was the first major bit of animation I have done with Maya, I found I stuck quiet closely to my storyboard with some slight difference's.
