Learning to Rotoscope

Rotoscoping images is easy but time-consuming. In the article I used to do this, an animater from A Scanner Darkly said he expects to take 5 hours on a complicated image.

Tutorial: mMm-MHmm

2cents:
Do a few (5 hour) test runs. Try to mimick the style of A Scanner Darkly. That should make you very irritated and more experienced, but will allow for your style to show through the medium. Get the techical stuff of learning out the way quickly so you can start doing your own thing.

Pigeons

My intro and outro frames have pigeons, so I'm practicing drawing them.







I'm learning rotoscoping also: pigeon in black and colored.

Update: Took Hux's advice and took away from the background near the pigeon's head.
