Animotion (animal + motion) is a series of animated ink drawings I made for Inktober 2017 (an annual art challenge that encourages artists to draw with ink throughout October). 

Most inktober works I see are static drawings, so as an animator I wanted to push the boundaries a little bit and create stop motion animation of animals using water and ink (as inspired by this GIF).

Each video is a real show on its own; it’s magical to watch the ink spread in the water to form each animal, then gradually come to life as each animation frame is painted. I made a total of 13 of these which you may see below:
