When I first started the assignment, one of the main obstacles was learning how to use Harmony for the first time. It felt a little different from what I was used to, which was Adobe Animate. When choosing Monkey Magic, I thought it would be nice to take a step back from animating a human character, but I later realized that a monkey is basically a human with a tail! However, I still had a fun time designing my monkey character, giving him funny expressions and characteristics that gave him a goofy personality. This, in turn, helped me animate him more effectively.

Harmony's many brush options also helped with animation, making my character fit well—if not better—into the designed environment. In the future, though, I would like to try a more sketch-style animation. For this current assignment, I stuck to clean line art and solid colouring because of the due date, the loaning of the Wacom pen, and also working on our stop-motion assignment.
