What's the best way to improve your animation?
Practice practice practice!
There's a time to work on your ball bounces, flour sack movement and emoting, but you need practice with a complete cartoon.
But creating your cartoon will be a long process for a single cartoon. And you need iteration, to practice the complete lifecycle.
And this is where the 11 second club monthly competitions come in.
Today, I'm inviting you to join me in entering the July competition.
I'll be animating my entry on my livestreams, so I'd love you to hang out with me as I work on it.
And why not use the time to work on yours at the same time.
