Rotoscoping

These are the initial drawings I did in Toon Boom of rotoscoping, it wasn't easy to draw over the image with a mouse. I think it'd be better and easier to do with a graphics tablet.



After looking at my initial drawings I didn't like the outcome therefore I restarted the whole process again. Again using the mouse to draw over the image, but this time making it look more like its a sketch drawing rather than just drawing over it with a single line.

Overall, I quite liked the idea of rotoscoping and again I might consider using it for my final 20sec animation. Although I have ideas for my 20sec animation I am currently thinking which animation software would be the best to use to bring out my animation the way I want it to be.
The disadvantage of rotoscoping is that it can be time consuming if there are a lot of images which needs to be traced over. Not only that but drawing/tracing with the mouse isn't that easy and doesn't give as good effect as using a graphics tablet.
An advantage could be that if you're not very good at drawing it's not really that difficult to trace over an image.
