This is adorable 😍 Keep up the good work Carolyn! I have been traveling and find it hard to create. Hopefully get my momentum back soon 😅

Great post! I'm animator so I enjoy making character sheets, coming up with different moments or scenes for a character.

I tend to make more work for myself, instead of simplifying an illustration or animation, I like to draw more details and include new actions for a character. Is because I get too invested on what I'm working on 😅

Haha I also make more work for myself but in my case that is usually because I didn’t put the work in to get the look right and then I struggle to stay consistent… ❤️

This is a good reminder about character sheets - they're the type of thing that seems to get relegated to "not a priority" and then never happens...so thanks for the reminder!

“So now I ask, did you ever skip a step you know you should be including in your art process? I am curious to hear about everyone’s workarounds”

Yes and my work around is to make more unnecessary work for myself. Creating a turn around of your character will help. It’s hell on earth but it helps

Yeah breaking down all the angles is killing me and clearly not my normal m/o … I need better habits
