Oh this is excellent. Very, very excellent in fact <3

And as a fellow film maker (though of a completely different kind) I agree whole heartedly with everything you said. The only way to become good at pretty much anything is to go and DO it. Lots of it. Lots and lots and lots of it.

Among illustrators, designers and traditional animators there’s this saying that by now is intractable, no one knows who said it first anymore, but it goes something like this:

“you have about 10.000 bad drawings in you so you better get them out quickly.”

I think this really is true for every craft..

Really great article, and I think it’s really awesome you’re writing this series. Will be looking out for the next part <3
