Enjoy the finished work

Day 32: celebrating 30days of self learning

How time flies....1month into 2d frame by frame animation self taught journey.


My quick takes:

1. It is not true that you can be an animator in 2weeks or even 1month, so be warned but if you think you want to animate a bouncing ball or what falls within that then one day is more than too much, then by that standard, you are, if that is what you want.

2. It is not always possible to follow personal time table strictly, some times i spent 2hours some times more sometimes less and some days to weeks none, but the key is in doing.

3. They more you do the more it becomes easy and fast, like its becoming part of you already, am still learning but i can say, i know when and where to spot and improve and more

So i have to pause on the effects animation and give attention to a special effect and to appreciate all those following here.

Enjoy the finished work to mark my 1month journey
