The Dive Exercise

The Dive Exercise

I really enjoyed this one, it felt like I got to bring some extra creativity and concept to the practise work, and the opportunity for more problem solving.

On reflection I feel like my main issue with this is the lily-pad ‘wobble’. I am happy with the lily-pad itself, but the way the water is manipulated around it makes it seem like jelly as apposed to liquid. I’d like to try something like this again with more reference material, I think that was where I missed out.

I wanted to go with something a bit different to the diving board so I decided to do a fairy and her tiny frog friend jumping into a lily-pad pond. It allowed me to also do that midpoint ‘hover’ before the character jumps on the lily-pad.
