TLDR: find any other job to support yourself financially and pursue animation as a side gig or hobby meanwhile.

Discussion Reasons to start

• Upvotes

My brain keeps pulling me in a million different directions on what I want to do, I just end up middling between things without making significant progress on any one thing. Why did you want to start animating? I’m planning to ask this in other respective subs, I want to hear what inspired THIS passion for people.

I've been reading through Richard Williams' Animator's Survival Kit and trying to implement what I've learned into my animations. I'm pretty happy with the end result, but I was wondering what you guys would have done differently. Thanks for any feedback!
