Chubby - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Chubby Rig.
He crouches down, and anticipates the jump. Leaps up (barely), throwing hands up with the feet and belly dragging. Lands with drag in the head and the arms and recoil in the belly.

Animation Time! - Chubby Rig

Today's Inspiration:
It’s necessary for me to be surrounded by truth and beauty. I need it. Otherwise I can’t work.

“You have to be so motivated that you have to want to draw so badly that it’s like taking away your oxygen not to draw. It has to be so much a part of your expression and your personality that you cannot live without it. You can’t go for more than two days without drawing. I mean, it is that basic a need for me.”
