  Linework 2 I recorded a video of my hand putting down the Apple pencil, then rotoscoped it. The process was very similar to the last rotoscoping part I did, I did not fully rotoscoped, but drew in-betweens.  In this part, for the first half, which is a bit different from the previous one, I added some action and emotion for the character. For the second part, I made a close up of the character. I tried to make her head kind of facing down a bit, but its looking weird at the moment. Maybe it will look better after coloured.

In this video you can also see that I drew a new design of the room. The reason why I did this is because I thought the first one with a big canvas and stand in the co...
