Potential and limitations - 5 - Aesthetic

The overall Aesthetic that I attempted to achieve in my response to the studio brief is that of a traditional, sketchy aesthetic with the juxtaposition of water colour and abstract backgrounds. The limitation with this sort of aesthetic is that it's hard to get right in the sense that I've never really used practical mediums for backgrounds in animations before. I also feel like the limitation of the aesthetic that I'm aiming for is that there is a lot of animations already out there that have that sketchy sort of style that I enjoy. Animators such as Bill Plympton have the aesthetic that I enjoy completely achieved. I also feel limited in the sense that I'm not 100% comfortable with drawing digitally, and also that I don't have my own aesthetic yet. I like drawing in whatever style I feel and I also like pushing myself to achieve different aesthetics using different mediums.
