drawing

I don't draw very well but like drawing but I'm not crazy about it. I don't prefer to draw unless I need it but I want to draw better:) I know all I have to do is just keep drawing and practicing. I haven't drawn for a while though I gradually started to try drawing again.

I've taken some drawing classes and I was very fortunate to have nice instructors. I learned a lot from them and what I learned is also able to be applied to animation. Drawing is hard, painting is much harder. Before taking drawing classes, I just drew but now I learned I have to think before starting drawing. I don't have to copy what I see, study it design it. if it doesn't look appealing make it appealing. What you see is like a reference, get essense out of it and push, exaggrate, and reduce it if needed. That sounds similar to animation, doesn't it?

i guess i understand what you are trying to say, but something tells me that "animation is design with time" is different from what i want to say. well, everyone has a different opinion, which is good.
