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!
