I cant believe it. Were spending this week putting together our class one progress reels and that is about it.

It’s been an interesting restart to this adventure for me to say the least. So many unexpected personal events and distractions that I have amazed even myself that I made it through unscathed!

I’m very excited about Class 2 Body Mechanics we get to go deep into the fundamentals and really start applying what we learned so far. Again, I plan to get back to blogging at my normal pace and I know that it has been very limited at times this term.

Animation Mentor is just an awesome awesome place but it requires so much hard work and dedication. Everyone keeps telling me that Class 2 ups the anty.

Say What? Class 1 was brutal! Here we go again

So in between terms what’s next?

Well, I get a week break before the second term so I plan on focusing on my notes from last class. Going over some of the tutorials I bought from Jason Ryan. I’m also learning to keep my short term goals simple and attainable. One of the biggest goals I want to attain is the continual development of my animation workflow. During my break I plan on getting a very good handle on Digicel Flipbook and working out 2D thumbnail animations into my planning stage.

Drawing and sketching…. I’m at a point right now where I feel like I truly suck as a artist drawing wise. There were some super talented artist in my class one that I truly envied like you wouldn’t believe. I keep thinking to myself “Jezz, I used to be able to pull those kinda drawings off!” I cant believe I let my skills get sooo rusty!

Some how I got to figure out how to get some drawing sessions in! Maybe I’ll designate a few solid days a week and block some time in just for the rebirth of my sketching. It will definitely be more than what I’m getting in right now and that’s the truth!

Hope you all are having a superb weekend and I should have my class one demo reel posted this Friday…..(Exhale)….wow.
