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.
