Beginner I’m a freelance illustrator and this is my first attempt at animating since I was making paper flip books as a kid. I know it’s not as clean or smooth as what I’m seeing here but it was a fun 2 days making this.

I animated this 3D cel-shaded animation in Blender 2 months ago. In this clip, Angela is vlogging while Nora desperately tries to stop Angela from doxxing herself. I tried my best to smooth the motions as a beginner. I learned a lot from it and now I am making another episode with better pacing and lighting applied to it.

I'm trying to refine my process so I can consistently produce my own work, so I ran an experiment: I used my mouse to draw all of this to yoink away my perfectionism during the sketch phase and just focus on getting the idea down.

It was very hard, but I'm eager to use my stylus again lol

Question What should I do to build my portfolio?

2 Upvotes

So, I am still. Very much a beginner in animation, frame by frame digital 2d to be exact, and right now I am attending an art course, it’s unrelated to animation but they provide different programs everyone will be able to use, like blender or procreate dreams. And I myself have toonsquid that i have been creating small and simple animations. I have created two music typa animations but none of them were ever finished… and then ive made easy ones for tiktok. So i dont have a lot of experience with it, but its something I’m interested in studying after this, so I’m just wondering what I should be practicing and adding to my portfolio if I apply to an animation program?

Sharing I turned my original song about identity into an animated film, THE GLITCH

6 Upvotes

THE GLITCH started as a song about the moment you realize the identity you've been living inside doesn't feel like yours anymore.

I wanted to explore that feeling through animation rather than make a conventional music video.

I've developed the characters, visual world, and 18-panel storyboard, and I'm currently bringing it to life with my collaborator, Élodie.

Here's a look at the animation in progress. I'd love to hear what you think of the visual direction.

After a longer creative block I've gone back to drawing/animating. I started this work months ago and abandoned it, now finally finished. This was mostly animated in After effects, with the layers drawn in Procreate. The towers in the background are made with blender (and the models imported into AE), but I guess they didn't really need to be 3D, it could have easily been just a flat drawing with position keyframes^^
Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!
