The document describes the process for creating several art projects. It outlines the steps taken to draw a great sword and halberd weapon, including starting with a simple shape and adding layers of detail. It then explains how a ghost animation was made by drawing the ghost character and creating a background scene with a wooden floor, fireplace and window. The animation was done by importing the ghost and making it transparent as it moved between locations in the background scene. The reflection notes that techniques like detailed layers and ghost transparency will be applied to a future game animation project.

1. Experiments
Your Name

2. Process- Great sword
• I started off drawing out a simple
shape for the weapon I wanted for my
weapon in this case it was a great
sword.

3. Process- Great sword
• Then on the second layer I added
detail on the blade using darker
colours for the shading of where the
light would be. There is no silver so I
used different shades of grey.

4. Process- Great sword
• After I added detail on to the
handle look like it had a
leather grip and I added some
design to the pommel to make
it look like it had a gem on the
weapon

5. • Finally I added a cross guard
with the same detail as the
blade

6. Process-halberd
I started off drawing a simple shape of
a halberd and went on from there.

7. Process- halberd
• Next I started to
add detail to the
weapons blade
and spear part to
make it look like
metal. They
didn’t have silver
so I used grey

8. Process- halberd
• Finally I added deatail
to the wooden pole
to make it more wood
like

9. Process-Ghost animation
I started of creating my Ghost by
drawing a 32 bit one from scratch
but it took me a while to get the
right shape so it looked even. I
added a smile because I thought it
looked cute. The eyes I used 2
different colours to make it more
detailed than just a plain colour.
I made sure the image was a png
because this ghost was going t be
moving around in the animation.

10. Process-Ghost animation
• After I completed the Ghost I got
started on the background for the
animation. Where I used the line
and shape tool to create the basic
outline for the floorboards and the
fire place. The fire place was the
most difficult to draw up because I
had to make each bit even so it
didn’t look crooked.

11. Process-Ghost animation
• The I added colour to the image but
I added different shades of the same
colours to make both the floor
boards and the fire place seem
more realistic but I left the wall a
solid dark blue to show a contrast to
all the brighter colours.

12. Process-Ghost animation
• I made the picture fame and the window
by using the shape tool to make 6
rectangles 3 black and 3 white and layer
them in top of each other. The white
ones I made smaller than the black ones
so I new how big of area I had for the
frame and the windows. I then added
detail in each rectangle I used a realy dar
grey to show it was night but I didn’t use
full on black because the moon gives off
some light. I used different shades of light
grey to make the moon seem more
realistic and that you can see it over the
dark grey.

13. Process-Ghost animation
• When I was done with the background I imported the
png of my ghost and animated it moving around an I
even made it go invisible and pop up in another part if
the background. I accomplished this by on each frame
making the ghost more and more transparent the point
it was invisible. Then when I move it to another ppart
of the image I mage so it was more and more visible by
reversing the previous process

14. Reflection
What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
• When I make the animation of my game I will include the level of detail I
have used and the techniques I used to animate the ghost including
making it go transparent
• I do think when I di the picture frame id didn’t use as much detail as I
would have wanted this was either due to time constrains or I was
rushing that part of the background to get it done as quickly a possible.
