Animation Time! - Ox Rig


Today's Inspiration:
One day you just start looking at things as an artist. As time goes by, everything you see you see as blocks, shapes, forms, colors, hues. After years you know what you want to see on that blank canvas and you just instinctively know how to achieve it. Everything is automatically on the paper. There's no longer any terror of that blank sheet of paper. It's a welcome friend.
