The best way for me to learn… was to stop waiting until I felt qualified. I think a lot of people mistake being a beginner for being incapable. I’m learning animation from scratch because I got tired of watching my ideas stay trapped inside my head. I don’t have a degree in animation. No classroom. No roadmap. Just ideas too loud to ignore. So I started learning keyframes. One confusing tutorial at a time. One failed render at a time. One “what does this button even do?” at a time. And somewhere between doubting myself and trying anyway… I realized most people aren’t untalented. They’re just too afraid to begin before they feel ready. Nobody talks about how embarrassing it feels to learn something publicly. To be bad at it. To post anyway. To create while still figuring it out. But every artist you admire? At one point, they were also staring at a screen not knowing what they were doing. You do not need permission to start. You do not need mastery to begin creating. You just need enough courage to be a beginner. Because ideas die when people keep waiting for expertise before experience. And honestly? Some of the most beautiful things in this world were created by people who simply refused to let “I’ve never done this before” stop them. Animation dropping soon. This is me learning in real time. What’s something you’ve always wanted to try… but felt unqualified for? #animation #animationtips #2danimation #smallartist #indieanimation

Sneak peak part 2: Name: Make me up Oh no. This isn’t about cosmetics. It’s about the cracks beneath the surface.The truths people bury.The identities people perform. You know…some people smile so well-you’d never know they’re drowning. Maybe the scariest thing about masksis how comfortable they become. So tell me—what’s one truth people are afraid to admit? 💭 Read that again. 📌 Save this for the animation drop. #digitalart #animation #smallartist #originalart #supportsmallartists

Sneak peak: short skit Make me up Make me up isn’t about cosmetics. It’s about the masks people wear to make their darkness look beautiful. Saints selling halos Sinners begging for mercy The terrifying moment you realize…. everyone is pretending. We are all wearing something. Some people just hide their darkness better than others. Fake smiles, polished souls, and the lies we paint over ourselves to survive. Reality is real, yet we fake the way we feel People rarely keep it real A contradiction dressed so well it starts to look ideal. #2danimation #digitalart #poem #animatedpoem #selfreflection

Wyd if you wake up in a place you don’t know, asking for help, you meet dollie and she talking like this? You kicking her off the ball or nah?! #2danimation #wyd #digitalart #learninganimation #digitalart

Dollies character Imagine you wake up in a place, unfamiliar to you… something not of your reality. Sort of like a dream Upon your quest you run into you… The personification of all the hard thoughts you try to convince yourself isn’t true because they are hard pills to swallow. The truth hurts. Well, that’s Dollie. The thoughts you push back because they strike an emotion that isn’t pleasant. The hard truth The hard reality But don’t worry you’ll like her… because she is honest. In a world full of lies, dollie hits harder with the truth. Do you ever personify your thoughts? #2danimation #learninganimation #digitalart #realization #selfawarenessjourney

Learning animation while making an animation. This sums it up for me. #2danimation #learninganimation #digitalart #sneakpeak #fyp

Behind the scenes. I respect animators so much because what do you mean drawing mouth frames. It’s so interesting seeing your idea come to life. No previous animation experience, I decided I wanted to do that too. Follow along with me on my animating journey! #selftaught #animation #wipartwork #fyp #2danimation

What does it actually mean to exist when no one gives instructions for it? To be continued…. #characterdesign #digitalart #behindthescenes #wip #creativeprocess
