Bugiardo is a superhero, but people do not believe him because he got a power that makes individuals not strong hungry. So he ends up cooking for them, and he is called super-chef. I decided to make a background of giant food because he cooks for the enemy that challenges him most of the time. He will be walking as he passes all kinds of fruits and food in the background, which are ingredients for his cooking and creations.

Some of the challenges I had were drawing close-ups and including the fruits, so I had to decide what should be shown of the fruits and not because the foods are giants. Another challenge was writing Bugiardo, which means liar in Italian. I tend to spell it as Burgiado; it has been happening to me for a long time. Other than that, I had fun drawing.

I added in-between frames for the walk to be smooth. One difficulty I had was with one frame that I could not fill in with the basket, so I had to brush and paint it. Another obstacle I had was with the head moving it backward; after a couple of tries, I figured it out.

One of my challenges was to draw directly into Animate. But I realized that it was not the best way for me to do it. So I decided to draw on paper then transfer it to animate. I met with Tiffany, and she explained to me how to do it. When I added my drawings to the Animate’s library, I tried to trace them with a stylus pen, but since I am not used to working with it, I decided to use the mouse. It was a pleasant experience animating a walk cycle.

The process was fun; I have not drawn for hours in a while. I enjoyed every moment of it. But everything was not easy. I had some challenges as removing the back of the character; the shoes were a bit challenging. Also, drawing the side was challenging. I tried different techniques until I figured it out when I saw a pose that I liked.

Introduction:

The character’s name is Burgiado. He is a young adult 25 years old from New York City. Recently he moved to North Carolina, where he claims to be a superhero. He decided to prove it one of his superpowers is making others hungry, but one of his abilities is cooking. Every time he is about to fight an enemy, they get hungry and cook for them. The enemy receives their stomach so full that they cannot move, and there is never a fight. Because of one of his superpowers, “making others that are not strong hungry,” no one in town believes him. Some strong villains appear, but they do not get hungry because they are stronger than the previous villains; Burgiado’s ability does not affect them. And he can show his fighting ability and strength. Everyone acknowledges him, and he feels satisfied that he got to prove that he is a superhero.
