Thank you for your support. Watanabe here.

Apologies for my late post.

Here's my dormitory diary entry for January.

How was your New Year's holiday? I spent it with my family at home. It's been a while since I saw my family, so I was relieved to see that they'd been in good health.

I was so busy learning other things last year that I barely had time for my main hobby, drawing. (I hope to have more time this year to draw, not only for work but just for fun).

I heard that my studio is gonna hold key animation exams next month. Still, seeing as I have yet to pass 300 in-between frames in a month, I'd rather focus on hitting that goal first before shooting for a key animation position. I've mentioned many times in these posts that I want to become a key animator, but I'm not so sure these days. I've been bouncing around between feeling like I wanna do keyframes but also feeling like I wanna learn more about in-between animation. The more in-between animation I do, the more I understand how little I know. I don't know what the answer is right now.

I sometimes wonder if I'm even capable of key animation while I'm doing in-betweens or watching anime. The barrier seems so high that the idea that I can do it, too, seems so far away. I think I'll try to improve my drawing and animation skills to gain more experience in both disciplines.

I've written a lot of negative stuff here, but don't worry. Things are mostly positive for me. Either way things turn out, it's all in the name of learning animation. Anyway, I can only take it one step at a time and focus on what's in front of me.

I look forward to talking with you all this year!

更新が遅れてしまい申し訳ありません。

1月の寮生日記を投稿します。

年末年始はいかがお過ごしでしたか。私は実家で家族と過ごしました。久々に家族と会ったのですが、元気そうで安心しました。

去年は新しいことを学ぶのに精一杯で、自分の趣味の絵をあまり描きませんでした。(アニメを作るのが楽しかったのもありますが)ですので、今年は仕事の絵だけでなく趣味の絵を描く時間を増やせればいいなと思っています。

3月くらいに原画試験があるらしいのですが、動画300枚が未だに達成出来ていないので引き続きそれを目標に頑張りたいです。こちらの日記で原画になる為に頑張りたいという話は何度もしているのですが、原画になりたいかというと実はそうでもないです。原画をやってみたいという気持ちと、もっと動画の勉強をした方がいいという気持ちが半々くらいでぐるぐるしています。動画をやった枚数が増えるほど、自分はまだまだ動画を理解出来ていないと感じることが増え、何が正解なのか分からなくなる事が結構あります。

動画をやっている時、アニメを見る時、果たして自分にこんな原画が描けるのか…描けないなぁと思ったり。アニメーションの知識もそうですが、画力をもっと上げないといけないと思います。

と、ここまで不安ばかり書いてしまいましたが、もっとアニメを知りたい学びたいという前向きな悩みになります!!とりあえず目の前の課題を少しずつクリアしていきたいです。

本年もどうぞよろしくお願いいたします!

Is hard to decide between two paths specially when you feel you have more skill for one than the other. Don't be discourage, whatever you choose it will help to discover yourself better and clear the view of the path you really want. がんばれー✊‼️
