1. Focus
The first tip is 'Focus'... 😃
It's good to love new things, but when it comes to professional Animation, you need to have a plan- like 'focus' on your profession.
2. Learn Animation; not an Animation App.
Learning a Animation app wouldn't keep you within or up-to your aim, but learning your profession gives you a better choice to understanding your career. AnimationI is not software-based. James Taylor used Maya, Mari and Mudbox for his works, and some other animators use 3Ds max, he could, because he did not learn Maya, he learned animation.
3. Learn Animation - not an App.
Questions are the best means to get ideas from others. There are a lot of Animators you can ask. Google is a good choice for you. You just have to ask the right question. It's one thing to ask questions, and it is another thing to ask the right question. You can comment your questions below.
4. Choose a software to learn with
There are hundreds of software's to animate with. You just have to practice with a software. The software you use does not make you a good Animation Artist. I started learning 3D with an abandon-ware, and it was helpful. I can easily transfer my knowledge here to any software. I will share the app with you in our next post. So, choose good, easy-to-learn softwares.
5. Don't work too hard!
Learning a new thing, sometimes, makes you feel like you have not worked enough. This will not allow you to have enough time to think. Spending some time off allows you to get new ideas. I was creating a show character some weeks ago, I had some time off, went out to the street, and stared at a few passers-by and some skinny guys changed my idea. I got a few observations, took pictures, and I had a good reference. You don't have to always be working.
