Hey it’s been a while huh
Not to get introspective on main, but it’s been hard to find joy in animating. I’ve fallen down the trap of making things, not to express myself but too gain approval from peers, or strangers on the internet. I had a lot of fun with this one, I started it somewhere in 2023?? And worked on it off and on throughout 2024. Take a slice is EASILY one of my favourite glass animals songs, and I think the second best song on the how to be a human being album. (Second only to life itself lol) But for anyone who wants to animate, draw, paint, sculpt or create in any way, shape, or form, the best advice I can give you is to do it for yourself. Not for your parents, friends, teachers, or strangers on the internet, make things because YOU want to make them. And as the wise Tommyinnit once said; “Be yourself, it gets you more views.” Sounds cliche, I know, but unfortunately for all of us, it’s true. I’ve been animating on and off for 5 years now, and take it from me, for animation you seriously need to find the motivation and joy within the process, not within the validation of the end product. Animating is fun, so do yourself a favour, and keep it fun for yourself, alright? Life is dull enough as is.
