![]() Let's start by drawing a floor guideline. He's a cute little guy, don't you think? We are going to animate our character jumping from the left side of the frame to the right side of the frame. I thought I would use a really fun cartoony character with a bean-shaped body to really show exaggerated squash and stretch. Pretty cool, huh? Now let's animate our own squash and stretch using a character! Let's go! The squashed pose of our ball is in red on the bottom. The start pose of our ball is at the top in red. I exaggerated the squash and stretch for the sake of this demo. Then the ball becomes flatter as it hits the ground as it emphasizes the speed and weight of the ball. This emphasizes the speed of the ball falling. Now, in this example of a bouncing ball, notice how the ball elongates as it comes down. Look at this example of the bouncing ball. Let's use our ball as an example to learn about squash and stretch. This is animation! The sky is the limit, so don't be afraid to exaggerate!ĭo you remember our bouncing ball tutorial? There was a wee bit of squash and stretch in our ball animation. I will show you how to put squash and stretch into your own animation. Incorporating squash and stretch into animation of a character or even an object such as a bouncing ball gives your animation so much life! In this tutorial, I will be taking you through the steps of how to animate a squash and stretch.
