This month, a team endorsed by Guillermo del Toro released Mexico's first stop-motion feature. It's 2 hours of pure imagination. The film is called I Am Frankelda, and we've taken a deep look into how it came to be: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-film-a...

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

I know you're probably just being facetious but busting out the chart in case it helps anybody
Diagram, displays two images. Title says "imposter syndrome vs reality". The first shows a very small red circle titled "what I know" inside a much much bigger circle that says "what I think others know". The second has the same circles, but the red is the same size, and each circle just slightly overlaps the other, with each person knowing things other people don't.

i struggle with a brain that wants to stiffly copy whatever reference i'm using and one thing i've found helpful:
1. draw big blocky shapes over the reference
2. turn off ref and redraw big blocky shapes
3. draw in figure with big blocky shapes overlaid
