A random observation on animating
12 years ago
Not sure if I'm doing it wrong/working with bad tools for animating, or what. But fuck is animating stressful. I'm drawing panel by panel, which is a lot of drawing to do for even a simple animation, but I have no idea if it's any good until I'm done and it's making me unreasonably stressed every time I start drawing, because I have no idea if I'm doing things right or not. At least when I just draw something static I can see how everything effects everything else, even if I don't always know how to make the interactions look how I want. Animating feels like trying to draw blind. </flailpost>
This current one I'm working on will probably be the last one I do for a while. Back to the comfort of fields I have a semblance of understanding in.

It's good that you are working outside of your comfort zone. I feel everybody should take the time to learn something new every once and a while. As for whether you're doing it right or wrong *shrug* I have not the technical expertise nor the knowledge to tell you one way or the other. All I know is they look good. :>

Well, one of my friends who's taken animation classes before informs me that apparently stress is just a thing that comes with animation XD But glad you like them ^.^

I will take his word for it. I don't know when I'll think about getting into animation. It'll probably be a couple more years out. :P

Do what you enjoy, I say. Take a breather if animation is stressing you out so much!

Heh, that's the thing. it's super stressful in the process, but it's so very satisfying to see it finished. XD We'll see what happens ^.^
