Has anyone here feels like quitting from studying/becoming animator and move to countryside be a math teacher cause I definitely am
I'm already half way through and let just say my biggest concern is the money. Lots of money have already been spent and I hate disappointment. I was once used to be called the 'genius' of my family but i stop being one cause idk i gradually become stupid, idk how many time I have let my family down
Doing animation is stressing me out so much and I don't know how to handle it, anyone here who is an animation student or animator yourself? How do you guys handle this stress cause I'm at the end of the rope. I've been trying to listen various type of music to calm myself and none working. Please give me some advice as well if there's any trick to make animation much easier to be done.
I go for a walk lmao. It's the best thing you can do, even more after spending so many hours sitting. Your stress will increase if your organism isn't working properly, so I also have a bottle of water around me at all times, and i discovered the pleasure of munching pretzel sticks. I hold my pen with my thumb and my middle finger (its kinda awkward at first) and as soft as i can; when i got too immersed i holded the motherfucker hard enough to break a bone, and even details like that can cause stress. Every 25-30 minutes i stare outside, for a couple of minutes, maybe smoke a cig, giving my eyes a rest and giving them the natural light they need. And, idk, everything else depends on the type of programs you are using. But yeah. I feel like Dr. Phil.
Lol I wish i could opt for teamwork but the thing is mine is solo project ╥﹏╥ and yes it is 2D animation, I'm doing great at 3D compared to 2D but the thing is in order for me to continue 3D (or VFX precisely) I need to pass the animation first (My course is Animation and Visual Effect (VFX) where you can choose to continue as animation or vfx on the third year). I really want to change my course but I already took loan, I have to pay it back first if I want change my course. Ahhh now i'm having stomach pain from anxiety, there's no way out huh. Anyway, glad that you are getting out from this mess. Please take care of yourself and don't make the same mistake as me loooool
I know this is unrelated to the question but I’m a highschool student who might be interested in going into animation. The problem is I don’t really know anybody who’s an animator and so I don’t have an idea of what it’s like to be one. I also know squat about animating. As a student rn what can I do to potentially learn more/ become better? Do I have to be really good at drawing or should I learn some sort of program? Just how to get started basically. If you could give me some advice I’d rlly appreciate it ^^
Oh man I'm not sure how strict US is but I'm from Malaysia where the country is pretty known for being flamboyant, but that's only apply if you have the money and I have none looool. The no. 4 one hit me so hard that I'm cackling right now because that is my workflow. Your suggestion is actually quite brilliant, maybe I should give a try on that. One big major about I LOVE to procrastinate, very bad value about me. It becomes a habit now its hard to get rid of it.
If it's traditional 2d animation you really do need to practice drawing. I see a lot of people questioning it and it may be hard to believe (or you just don't want to practice) but that's just basically it. Even if you are not great in drawing art immersion is important to gain that "sense" when creating something. As for software, I use adobe flash, photoshop and animate. My current work is animating in media production so I use after effects, photoshop illustrator and premiere.
Any recommendation for angsty manga/manhwa? The kind of reading that gives you feeling hollow and dreadful but the character slowly marching forward into better development. A long series will be very much appreciated as it has better depth in the story. I need some inspiration for my English assignment so if you guys have any manga/manhwa that become a turning point in your life, please share it here as well a little comment (or maybe share what's impact it does to your life perhaps? A little tale sorry won't hurt right :) )
And oh! Btw, my favourite mangas for this genre (and still is and may forever) is http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/sangatsu_no_lion/ and http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/koe_no_katachi/
I remember whenever I read this no matter how many times, it never fail to make lost in thought for a while. I gotta said what impact me the most is that I become more observant and aware of people surrounding.
Gotta be this one for me. If you haven't you can check it out sometime (=・ω・=) http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/annarasumanara/

this one's kinda long. but it's worth it. (and i couldn't sleep well for a week ;-;)
I've been trying to ask about this in Yahoo but I only got troll answer and I know all of you guys are genius and beautiful. I'm not so willing to talk this out with either my family or Psychologist, I'm simply not ready and very insecure about this. I always charmed (or rather very infatuate with passionate couple, regardless straight or not, young or not, simply saying in any angle, I find them very cute and lovely but, I can't see myself as someone's lover, well that's fine but whats not fine is, I feel disgusted whenever I have any type of skinship (holding hands, ruffle hair, any sort of) even with my own family or friends. I don't have any resentment toward them in fact we are doing very well in everything except skinship. My family and friends doesn't know about this, I basically pushed myself, its either me or them to initiate the skinship. So far, I mostly very fine and happy to hold hands or any sort of with children, I feel comfortable with them and safe. It frustrating because there are time that I get very depressed and crave for some hugs and comfort but my body refused to do so (there was a time I went violent, I slapped my sister's hands away when she tried to pat me), I always end up holding everything in or just cry by myself. What should I do? If there anyway to get over with this? Anyone know where the root of this problem is? Feel free to ask me more question if I don't explain myself enough.
You might be low-key haphephobic. I know I am. I talked to my therapist about it, basically jut initiate little touches here and there so you get used to it. It'll be difficult and frustrating but try to relax- especially with the getting comforted and hugging and all. The longer you stay away the harder it'll be to fix it.
Well, there is a chance that you where not paid attention to enough when you where a baby, not saying you were neglected, just not touched enough. Human beings need physical connection to develop properly. If you weren't touched enough, that could contribute to your problem. You should tell a close friend (boyfriend/girlfriend/best friend) about your problem and go at your own pace, possibly hold hands while doing something fun like watching anime. Ask your friend to help you by being patient with you. Hug spoon, do whatever feels comfortable for you. If that doesn't work... Get a body pillow XD (jk jk) hope I helped! Reply back if you want to talk more
You couod be ace (asexual)
I'm the same. And the main reason that I could think of is that we are used to being alone since when we are kids, probably because just like @Mo Ro San said, we didnt get much attention and thats why we grew up comfortable with ourselves only.
We're sensitive but we care too much thats why we feel disgusted, because we remember how they treated us, no matter how trivial it was, and somehow think that they're being fake and everything is an act and temporary.
I cant really give you an advice because I still am figuring it all out. Maybe lets try loving ourselves more?
Can anyone please suggest me yaoi with cold seme and meek/innocent uke? ┗( T﹏T )┛
Actually I have the perfect series for you:

Guys, I did something YOLO today, couple days ago I bought a yaoi movie DVD and so I decided to played this baby today at our living room's TV which I was aim to make everyone in my family watch it. Of course they started to realize that it was yaoi movie and they asked me about that so I just said that I didn't know it was one. What makes it interesting is the movie wasn't stop (as far before this my family not really open about this, as they were always make not-so-funny joke of lgbt) and they were all so focus (god know I was about to shed big tears of proud mommy). When the movie hit the credit, I asked them if its good and they said it was pretty and atmospheric. Today is the best day, I'm glad I did this. I hope they see lgbt in the better angle and decide that love is bountless ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
Definitely! Well its differ to everyone but in my opinion its not slow neither fast either. I honestly was attracted by the animation, its languid and fluent, and very cute. I don't want to say much, it will be spoiler, try yourself first. If its good, thats great but if its not keep look out for more. Theres actually many underrated yaoi movies out there~ Good luck dear :3
I feel like talking to completely stranger right now, I'm not feeling great these days but I'm too shy to talk this out to someone i know. I'm sorry its have nothing to do with what this site offer it just I don't really know where to start. @/bluedino_dw1122 is my twitter, hit my dm if you don't mind to hear me a bit. I would really appreciate it.
