My name is Toniko Pantoja I use RU-vid as my online journal
Currently on Invincible the animated series
I am also the founder of Brushtale Works Studios Inc. Had experience with Netflix Animation, Dreamworks Animation, Cartoon Network, Studio La Cachette, Tonko House, Strange Weather Film
By day I am a full time Story Artist, Director and Hand Drawn Animator. At night, I work on various personal projects and stories. I have worked at both large scale companies to smaller workshop style studios - as well as both in house and off site. I am also a mentor and teacher.
As a creative who tried to get a more conventional job at a point of my career where I had strong doubts, all I can tell is that it doesn't get easier there either. You're still expected to be a highly skilled professional who walks the extra mile and does his extra hours for little money. I think a lot of creatives are often disillusioned with the industry because they fell for this "Pick a career you like and you wont have to work a single day and everything will be a cakewalk"-BS. Yeah, not gonna happen. Work is hard. ...but if you're a creative, you're probably right in the creative industry, even if things could be better in terms of work environments and paychecks.
I have been drawing for 7 months and i still cant do a good face while other draw for 30 to 50 days and the go "hey look at me" and here i am i cant even do half aswell. This is the reason i am just not having fun anymore. I also see that i'm not learning from my mistakes. And people on discord noticed this and stoped giving me feedback. So i am all alone now and no teacher or mentor to help guide me.
I rewatched this 6 years later and told myself I wasn’t going to cry..2:53 rolls around and here I am in tears, this still is the best animation I’ve seen
I'm jealous that others can get some kind of funding to do personal projects while I have to stay at a dead end job that pays crap while taking all my time away from from perfecting my craft that I hope to one day make money off of. Even if others also have jobs that they are obligated to do, I'm jealous that I can't have a good work balance without worrying about my income. I WANT to be paid to draw, but my living expenses force me to do things that don't make me a better animator.
I like this video. I learn this method of inbetweening but it was more simple and easy to do. check this out after finish this video .It more over how I learn ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O0zq-sGZXSI.html.

I'm facing problem with coloso player right now, any solutions guys that would help me? So sad that customer service didn't do anything for my problem! 😔
I’m 25 and a good artist,only 4 years of work experience in janitor field. I want to attend art school so badly but man it’s expensive and I don’t have the money for it. I can’t even afford a car…nor a house.
There are two types of people , those who see ai taking over their jobs and those who see ai as a tool to produce more jobs. You can quit being an animator and become the whole darn studio.
I've been in this mindset for no more than three years. And I can say it definitely sucks to constantly think about it as well as struggling to cope with it. But after watching this video and sharing your sides, I might have a better understanding of how to cope with it. My father told me that the goal in life is to overachieve, but that seems to also be a handicap for me. Not just with art and animation, but with life in general. Attempting to overachieve might also worsen the mindset of being jealous and that you deserve just as much as people you look up to. I guess I just need to remind myself that even though I'm only one person, I can't be what people expect me to be. I want to be the me I've always been, and I'll take this to my grave. I hope by the next days of my life, I can finally leave this jealousy phase and just remember I can always improve.
