Character Animation

For my character animation I wanted to create something simple in both design and ease of animation. I settled on a kind of small monster with many tentacles and one large eye in the middle of his head. I made his eye look around while waving with his right arm. The biggest thing I learned while working on this character was just how much you need to think of how the character will be animated in order to put all appropriate sections on different layers. You don't just need to worry about how it looks but also how it will move. The more complex the movements you are attempting the more precise you need to be with what sections go on what layers.
