Animation Time! - Ultimate Beefy Rig


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

Finds the artwork that inspires you and emulate it; take it apart and put back together again. If you do all this fueled by a love of the medium, you’re bound to come out better on the other side.
