WHAT IF--How can the drawing of insects with the hand?
How can the drawing of insects interact with the hand?
The ideas so far...
Spider--1. spider could walk over the hand (or onto the hand), It could make the nice shadow of its legs.
2. Make a web to trap the hand or wind around the hand
3. Spider drop down along the thread of a spider web, hands play its long legs that put it up and put it down again and again. Spider want to bite hand, so hand bit it and try to catch it.
Butterfly--1. Firstly, it could a chrysalis, hand want to make it broken, suddenly, lots of butterflies are fly out, one stop on the top of the finger, or these butterflies could follow the finger movement on the paper.
2. When finger leave the paper, these butterflies still follow the finger. In the end, when hand make 3 claps, these butterflies fly away the hand.
Grasshopper--1. Hand catch it , but it always jump, and jump onto the hand, hand catch it again, it jump to another hand.
2. To hit the table to scare it.
3. To shake the paper left and right, up and down, let it move follow the paper.
4. It jump on the paper side, and turn over the paper, then it jump another page again and again to disappear.
Ladybird--1. Let it along palm or finger or back of hand to walk. It could walk from left hand to right hand.
2. To blow it, it will rolling to far from the front, then come back slowly.
3. Make the paper vertical. It could still climb from the bottom to the top of the paper.

New animatic
This animatic is about the relationship between hands and characters. The characters are including spider, ladybird, butterfly, and grasshopper. I think every insect has its own feature, so i designed the action follow their features. For example, the spider could make a web to trap the hand.

Research for style 3
"Manipulation" By Daniel Greaves 1991
Good and useful example for my project.
The relationship between character and hand is quite interesting and sense of rhythm. There is a good relationship for every action between them.
Gertie the Dinosaur (Winsor McCay, 1914)
Gertie the Dinosaur is a 1914 short animated film by Winsor McCay. Although not the first animated film, it was the first cartoon to feature a character with an appealing personality.

Research for character 3
Birmingham Nature Centre
Spiders are air-breathing chelicerate arthropods that have two body segments, eight legs, and no chewing mouth parts.
Non-predatory feeding
Although spiders are generally regarded as predatory, the jumping spider Bagheera kiplingi gets over 90% of its food from fairly solid plant material produced by acacias as part of a mutually beneficial relationship with a species of ant.
Methods of capturing prey
Main article: Spider web
The best-known method of prey capture is by means of sticky webs. Varying placement of webs allows different species of spider to trap different insects in the same area, for example flat horizontal webs trap insects that fly up from vegetation underneath while flat vertical webs trap insects in horizontal flight. Web-building spiders have poor vision, but are extremely sensitive to vibrations.
Defense
There is strong evidence that spiders' coloration is camouflage that helps them to evade their major predators, birds and parasitic wasps, both of which have good color vision. Many spider species are colored so as to merge with their most common backgrounds, and some have disruptive coloration, stripes and blotches that break up their outlines.
