Surgery went well.

a very quick animation test, using a swarm particle, hand drawing different effects and testing secondary action, follow through and acceleration variables for timing and spacing in unison. Happy with this for a first go

I’ll be real. Today I didn’t feel like drawing, showed knocked out 30+ sketches, and these four are my favourites. I’m learning where to improve everyday through study and repetition and that’s enough for me

Three more in today’s coffee shop practice, decided to play with some shadows some more on the last two. I’m a bit pushed for time but I’ll get more done. After the 10 I did this morning (will go up later) I broke 300 drawings!
