My art journey has been coming along slowly since I got sick. I'll do my best to keep improving!

I wrote a textbook-style guide for anime compositing. I know a lot of people are looking for that information, but I don't know how to get it out there.

Please take a look and share it with your friends!

@AkiAtelier Ah, abusing your artistic talent to make your own canon I see.

[Meraki @MerakiKato]

These are also mostly copy studies.

@JD_Zousa Looks great!

Some croquis I copied from various parts of twitter. These are mostly copy studies of other artists' works.

@DomRomArt Interested! Not sure if I have the art style you're looking for though. https://t.co/ChzdNb4ctz

Practicing animation fundamentals with Rei from Buddy Daddies. Lemme know if you have any critiques!

A quick copy study of Ivey from the video game Menace.

I've lately been feeling very depressed after drawing. I want to reward myself for my hard work, but then remember that I don't enjoy doing anything.
If I feel the need to reward myself for drawing, does that mean I'm not enjoying the process properly?

@a1830880 Wow! The proportions are so good!
Looks great!

@Vitispi3 I really struggle with original composition, so the sketching phase is by far the hardest for me. Rushing the sketching phase and getting stuck with a bad drawing is oftentimes what breaks my bigger pieces.

@iammira_1 @anime_ It's called Buddy Daddies! It's an amazing show!

[Meraki @MerakiKato]

@Zukarinkani Wow! This is dazzling!

[Meraki @MerakiKato]

Made some decent progress on the study today.

[Meraki @MerakiKato]

I'm studying some sakuga from Buddy Daddies.
I haven't finished the leftmost drawing, so if it looks like Rei's head disappeared, it's because Rei's head disappeared.

@etiladill Wait, I didn't know they had a key animation book. I want it...!

[Meraki @MerakiKato]

@_aleiriau Very pretty!

[Meraki @MerakiKato]

I want to get a job in anime because I think it'd help me develop professional habits and learn a lot. Do you think I'm ready? What should I do to land a PA's attention?

[Meraki @MerakiKato]

@noahbradley Aww, but brown is my favorite color.
Your tree looks great though.

[Meraki @MerakiKato]

@Rokujoarts Thank you! I'm very flattered!
