What I learned from NATA

Posted by CartoonCoffee - August 1st, 2014


NATA was a real eye opener for me. I'm so glad I participated this year. All the NATA participants were amazing, and I'm honored to have been able to talk and animate along side them. But I realised that I have a lot of growing to do as an animator, and I've gotten too comfortable with my current skill set. This past year I spent more time searching for an art style rather than actually practicing the one thing I really love to do, animation. So I'm going to get back into some serious studying. I'm hoping to add a few new tricks to my tool kit by the end of this. I'm planning on dedicating at least a couple months to this study, so you may not see too many animations from me during that time.

Anyway, here's some of my studies from day 1 -  Drawing in poses I'm not comfortable with.
Some of these were a success, some were not, but I learned from all of them

P.S - Female figures are just more fun to draw.

Yeah! That's the one.

I expected "I learned that brief deadlines suck." and the news post to end. Keep it up, amigo.

Hahaha, I felt that this would of been more fun if i didn't have so many deadlines already. But yeah, deadlines are usually a bummer. I would definitely like to try the competition again, when I'm not so busy.

he cool .. he does it said it to me? did you even refuse to do more looking like him?

Yup

I have also learned a lot from participating in NATA. I hope to participate again next year. I also learned from seeing the techniques other animators used. Keep up the good work.

I'm definitely looking to see more of your stuff! And I hope to see you in the competition next year, hopefully we both would have grown quite a bit as artist til then!

hi.
