"It's very important to remember that studying real life should always take priority. Ultimately, reality is the source that all animators draw from. We exaggerate it and we stylize it. An animation is one animator's interpretation of reality. So if you're only analyzing other animators' interpretations and not the source that inspires them, the only thing you'll know how to replicate is someone else's interpretation and your work is gonna become derivative." ~This video

No, I'm NOT learning to animate, but I've started looking up realistic CGI and regular photos of toys and... well, hopefully I finish this next drawing soon~ It's not gonna be mind-blowing, but boy, did I learn something today.
