I was very frustrated w/ my art this week, and (thankfully) worked everyday this week, so I could feel myself reaching my burnout point. Instead of shutting down, I decided to try something that Vant suggested I try - rotoscoping. 2 hours of scrubbing through the sky tram scene really improved my understanding of how the characters look within a 3D world and thus helped me better understand how to draw them in 2D. The above GIF is not rotoscoped, but uses the knowledge I learned after attempting to draw over 1000 frames.
This 36-second scene had 1000+ frames. Why does anyone choose this as a career?
Around 4am I realized that between the rotoscoping and the actual animating I could've been streaming, but figured no one would wanna watch me fumble around like a novice in Harmony since I'm still at like level 0. If that's something you would've liked to see lemme know - I'll be doing this in my free time to help improve.
Anxious to get back to my projects!
