Learning animation (Patreon)

Heya! i just kinda felt like sharing some of my thoughts and ways of how ive been learning animation/3D art, maybe someone will find it helpful.

• My biggest advice is to just animate, what you want to animate, a big part of whats making it easier for me to animate, is that im doing what i want to do, im not chasing trends, trying to get a certain amount of likes or followers, im just animating whatever silly thing i feel like it at the time!

  Setting a goal of reaching a certain amount of followers can help your motivation, but dont make it the sole reason for your art creation.

• Most of your first projects will be bad, they will look bad and you might not be the proudest of them, but do keep them saved somewhere, it takes a lot of time and practice to get better at art and once ur good someday, you will look back at your old art and be proud of yourself, trust me on that.

• Be ambitious.
  When you see a scene in a movie or you get a cool idea for a render/animation, do try making it, if you cant achieve exactly what you wanted, improvise!

  
  Find alternative ways to get a similar result or change the idea a little, make it easier while still trying your best to match your vision, nothing will ever be perfect, art is hard but that doesnt mean you cant find ways to make it a bit simpler!

I hope some of these thoughts will maybe help someone in their journey, art is a fun hobby or even a job to have, do not feel like you are forced to instantly get good, take your time, make your mistakes and learn in a few months you will see improvements, in a few years you will look back and see how far you have gotten.

and do try your best to be proud of what you manage ♥
