let's talk about the latest practical work on animation? well,

here is video

and now I will tell you how I did it.

to begin with, there was an idea and a task, it was necessary to draw a squirrel jumping along a tree branch.

first I made a sketch

concept sketch

according to this sketch, I drew the entire background on one layer (which was a mistake), in fact, the animation would have been accepted anyway, but I wanted to get better and better.

With the stylistically ready background, I started to animate the hero himself, a squirrel with a mustache.

After placing keyframes, frames that position the squirrel on the tree and show its jumps, I drew frame by frame, and frame between frames. and created smooth motion.. and by that time I realized that it would be a very good idea to add a camera, but the camera would not fit well with a monolithic background. so I started painting the whole background from scratch, BUT now on separate layers.

I carefully cut out the tree, scaled it up and created 4 additional forest layers and a skybox.

I placed these images on a perspective grid, (thanks to high tech) after that I added a camera and gave it movement action, and stuffed the picture with all sorts of post effects, blur, bloom, etc.

well... in general, that's all, that's the whole secret of the illusion of a three-dimensional image, the parallax effect. very simple but effective method.
some sounds I downloaded, but some I created myself, for example, the sound of jumping is the sound of fingers on the mouse pad
