Here's another scene I animated for the El Tigre episode "El Tigre El Jefe." In this scene Sergio, who's a villainous kid wanting to seek revenge on Manny, is convincing the other kids of a plan to take Manny down. He starts to laugh crazily and then notices everyone looking at him. This is a case where the storyboard drawings where so good and funny that it made me want to animate the scene.

Here's the scene in animatic form. It was storyboarded by the amazing Eddie Trigueros. Eddie's drawings are always hilarious because they're so pushed.
Now here's the model for Sergio. Sometimes when you send a scene to be animated at a different studio, they can have a hard time interpreting the, dare I say it, "off-model" drawings form the storyboard. And Eddie's expressions were so funny that I didn't want them to get lost. So I humbly tried to capture his drawings while still making it look like the character." So, here's my interpretations of Eddie's drawings in animated form. I'm pretty happy with the way it came out, and Eddie seemed to like it as well. It was definitely fun and more challenging to animate. I added the finger motion in there just because it felt right.
