Simplification is one of the main things you should learn
And I don’t mean watering everything down to Kiki and boba or whatever, i mean simplify everything just enough that animation isn’t fucking hell but not so much that you look like a calarts graduate
But aside from that work on consistency, anatomy, and stylized anatomy plus character design

>>7618537
If you have to ask questions you’re ngmi unfortunately. You ever notice how the real smartest students never asked questions in class?

>>7618010 (OP)
thank you for renaming it to its old name

>>7618718
>Simplification
Only if you want to get into westoid fauxanime or cartoons. For anime you need to learn the actual artstyles in their full complexity.

real thread upp go go go
