    I just find it amazing that when I decided to pursue animation, contents like this from great artists come up. Moderndayjames' tutorials, Ethan Becker's Project City, and Marco Bucci's animation tutorials. Thanks CZcams for existing 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

      I agree youtube has helped majorly to my animation skills. Ever since I was a a small kid I’ve wanted to be a animator. The first time I saw cars I was sold and CZcams has definitely helped me get there. I think when it comes to style of animation or character design it’s up to you, but I’ve been going through the basis again with Aaron Blaise’s course of fundamentals of animation and has majorly helped me and helped me understand some holes in my animation so if you haven’t checked it out I definitely recommend it. Style is up to you until you go 3d, then it has to be Disney/Pixar or it’s not it.

    This was a great exercise. As a cartoonist my cartoons are frozen still images, it was nice to watch an animation lesson to help bring life back into the cartoon poses. It was also nice to watch drawing on a tablet. I'm still old-fashioned doing my work with pencil and paper, I use the digital pen for touch-ups of the scanned images.

    I've been in animation for years, but got stuck with some bad habits and a definite lack of mindfulness when it comes to why things move as they so with regards to tension and potential energy etc. Videos like these, which so succinctly condense valuable pointers like this are life savers, for beginners and err, intermediates like me (I guess??). Good mentors, drilling in the same info over again and practice are life, peeps.

      @Ehh0.0 Před rokem +2

      hmmm, 3d can be so many styles i think. Arcane came to mind first, but I'm sure there are others. I think in 3D animation when you change the style you have to change it a lot. I'm just bringing up a point, a point that's probably pretty weak since I know absolutely nothing about 3D animation. So if I get anything wrong I appologise😅
