Anonymous asked: It might go better if for now you focus on taking learning animation one step at a time and not focus on the long term or overall progress. however little you can fit into your schedule is better than nothing after all.
True. Sometimes I wonder and/or worry about what will happen in the future, but you’re right, I should be focusing on reaching my goals step by step.
I’m actually in an animation class right now, even though my projects are primitive and simple, learning the basics has been helpful.
I actually have a book, Richard Williams’ The Animator’s Survival Kit. It’s a giant book so I really haven’t read all of it. But man, the stuff I HAVE read, is REALLY interesting and really helpful. I learned important techniques for animation I haven’t thought of.
If you’re an aspiring animator and you want to read a book from an expert animator, check that book out. No joke, it’s great.
