Just do it, do the best you can, don’t drive yourself crazy, just KNOW that when you look back on it you’re going to hate it. It can’t be helped. The next one will be better.

There’s no secret to getting better at drawing; just keep drawing every day and keep getting better every day.

Animation Time! - Rensouhou Chan Rig

Today's Inspiration:
I've always loved creating a world where the rules didn't apply, a fantasy environment. My parents used to ask me why I wouldn't just draw a normal horse—I prefer to make up my own renditions of characters.

Most people can draw if they really want to. It's a matter of making the time and training your brain and hand to do what you see—just remember nobody in the universe but you can draw what's inside your pen!

Animation Time! - Trixxie Rig

Today's Inspiration:
If you're behind the times, they won't notice you. If you're right in tune with them, you're no better than they are, so they won't care much for you. Be just a little ahead of them.

I think if you're a creative person, you should just go about your business, do your work, and not care about how it's received.

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.

Today's Inspiration:
... in order to maintain my enthusiasm, to start all over every time. I can’t forget what I’ve already done and learned.

Animation Time! - Dota 2 Sniper Rig

Today's Inspiration:
I am not sure that all of my inspiration comes from somewhere other than my own burning desire to do art. For sure part of it comes from the people in my life. Part of it comes from what is occurring in my life at any given time. Part of it comes from what is occurring in the world at any given time.

We didn’t choose art. Art chose us. It was as if we were born to do art. My Ma told me we started to draw at 3 and just never stopped. We were obsessed with it.

Most artists live in their head. Their head is filled with ideas about art and not much else.

live your art every second of your life. Never settle with your art. Continuously push yourself to do what you are sure you cannot do. Once you have mastered what you are sure you cannot master go further.

Animation Time! - Skeleton King Rig

Today's Inspiration:
That's My Character!
Everyone who has worked on a picture will feel that he made the personal contribution that caused the cartoon character to come alive on screen. ... "Well, I know he's my character because he's me; I did him!"... to all of them, he is their character! This is as it should be. Unless everyone feels this closeness to the end product, the dedication will not be there and the necessary care will not be taken to insure that the end result will be the finest anyone can do.
