animation drawing skills. aka you need these if you want to become a good animator. it is what it is. ‍♀
anyway. in this video i'm talking about art skills every animator must have. i'm not saying you have to become a pro at everything, but in order to build a strong foundation, you have to improve on at least some of the areas i mention in this video imo. this way animation will be easier and you won't struggle as much as if you just jumped right into it without practising art at all (not like animation isn't a struggle even when you have decent art skills smh). of course, you can practice art and animation simultaneously.

thanks for watching/listening
