Had been waiting on a sketchbook I ordered so I can practice using some Sakura poster color I just got. Plan on using as many traditional animation techniques as I can for my first animation. It might be troublesome splitting up painted assets for the animation since I don't have clear cels to paint on, but I can always digitally split and paint over the images if need be.

I'll have to do a shorter animation than expected due to the amount of paper I have, and the density of the animation I want. I'm saving to buy a cheapish acme paper punch so I'll have easier access to a variety of papers. I've been limited in the amount of roughs I can do because of my short supply on paper, but I'll make the little animation a reality. It's about 30 seconds, and I've made digital layouts in the past, but couldn't finish it because working digitally felt frustrating at times.

I don't like planning out paintings, so what you see is basically a crude sculpture I built up on the forms I saw appearing while playing with the paint. (It's a bit half-baked too, had little time). Haven't painted traditionally in long long time, but these poster colors feel nice and creamy, with no trouble drying nor reactivating. Probably my favorite paints now. The sketchbook is nice too, it's from Leda Art Supply (you should check them out, wouldn't want them to die out on me now).
