Animation Time! - Hand Rig



Today's Inspiration:
But the remarkable thing about going through a disheartening session is that the student is very often on the threshold of marvelous discovery

The pencil, pen, or brush are not magic wands to be waved over the paper, but are richly satisfying and rewarding instruments when perseveringly applied to a challenging piece of white paper.

Animation Time! - Plugman Rig



Today's Inspiration:
I think that is the key, to do a style and subject you love so you always put yourself into your work.

Keep drawing and searching for the message you want to tell the world with your work.
