LIP-SYNC - CHIN AND CLEANUP

This post is a further update for my TVPaint lip-sync animation. This time, it's on the chin movements and line cleanup.

There wasn't anything too complex to this, honestly. There were only two steps involved in this cleanup.

Firstly, there's the chin. In my rough stages, I specifically left the chin static so that I wouldn't be too focused on that when blocking out my main motions. I deliberately left it for this part of the process. It was simple enough to do, I just went through and drew chins on a new layer, that react to the extremities of the mouth shapes. When the mouth is closed or in a very small shape, it stays in a neutral position. But when the shape is more open and wide, the chin goes back down.

The rest of the animation just had to be traced over essentially. I took the opportunity to clear some inconsistencies with the body, especially with the collar and tie.
So from here, it's about colouring and getting feedback.
