Nice work on the Anatomy here! pretty well thought out for a 1-2 minute pose. Nice line of action going on too. Keep it up!

Thanks very much about the line of action! I'm sure as an animator, you know about how we only really care about the pose and attitude in a figure drawing, so I'm glad it's working out! I think I also fleshed out the face and stuff after the pose was over, too, so it wasn't all 2 minutes, sadly. <33

yep! its very important to bring life to a pose. So are you a 2D or 3D animator? I'm primarily a 3D animator, but I always fall back on my traditional skills.

Oooh, 3D! I just like to stare at all the stuff that people make in 3DMax and Maya. I'm definitely a 2D artist, but I need to take some 3D courses just so I am hireable, you know?

good mentality...though never ever forget your roots.

I work in Maya, its a great program :)

I hear Maya is better for modeling! The one thing I would be interested in, I think, and YES, I think to be a good 3D animator, you have to know 2D. :D

Maya is actually good for both, its industry standard for most companies out there. It has a very powerful animation system along with modeling. I love Maya, and I have plenty of animation scripts that help me animate. Almost like how a handyman has their special tools to get things done :)

Oh man, I'd like for once for a computer to do all the animation for me. I WOULD BE A SLAVE DRIVER. Hahaha. I wanna do some modeling in there when I finally learn the ropes of the program.

Well bare in mind that the computer wont do all of the animation. Maya does most of the inbetween work, but it finds the easy way to get from one pose to another. Thats when the fleshy bloke controlling the mouse comes into play. You need to be able to add your breakdowns, etc. Then play with your timing, etc. Its a lot of work, but I love it!

For modeling, its pretty strong, I only know a little bit of modeling in Maya. I only model when I need an object like a hat, glass, etc. Its well worth it if you get a chance to use it. Autodesk has a Personal Learning Edition, so if you are curious, check it out ^___^
