Animating on Rainy Days

UHG! The aggravation of finding a mistake in your animation that could EASILY be fixed in a computer program (i.e.: cheating) but on paper means that you basically have to reanimate half the scene!


Oh well! I do it anyway!

In other news, since starting from the beginning all over again with the basic ball bounce, I find myself making what I consider "rookie mistakes". They truly annoy the heck outta me! But instead of letting them shut me down and give me an excuse to give up for the day, I keep pushing through. I keep going. I am absolutely determined to learn from them and therefore- NOT MAKE THEM AGAIN!

All of this is just a beautiful reminder to me that I still feel like I have so much to learn. It is extremely humbling. And that's probably a good thing. So long as I don't start getting down on myself. And if I should start to doubt myself or my abilities again, I will simply plug in some of the animation I have done (the Simpsons couch gag or my brief work on Hullabaloo). I CAN animate. Just still have enough to learn. I am a draughtsman. I am a journeyman. Well.... Draughtswoman and journeywoman.

I'm cool with that!
