I asked Juan to send me his character so I could see how to set up the photoshop file. However, as I did not know how to deconstruct it I just started drawing, which was a mistake.I began to draw the characters movements section by section, such as each eye position, which was wrong. Same happened with the eyebrows and the mouth. However, it is better to overdraw than to under-draw.
I then sat down with Juan and he helped me to organise the photoshop file so it would work in character animator. This meant putting everything into different groups so CA could understand what was what.The character needed some work, as both the eyes wouldn't stay in the sockets. So I edited the Photoshop file so it worked better. However, his right eye would not move at all, so I had to do a quick fix of copying the left eye and flipping it so it was on the right side instead. This worked and the eye started to function properly, I am going to try and fix this next semester as I am not happy with using the same eye.
