Weekly comments (Aghhh)

My week has been a bit wild and draining, but what can I say? Constantly driving the needle and dodging
bullets, inktober crawling up my back, sleep fading from my view. It’s clearly a work in progress, but it’s
turning out for the better. This week I learned that the Flour Sack exercise is a great way of expressing
emotion without features in mind, and I learned more about walk cycles. I haven’t started mine yet, but
I’ll push through it. I’d love to learn about lip syncing, since I could use some of that for some upcoming
animation ideas i’ve got. Something frustrating, yet again, was my failure to gauge my time use. The
waving tail animation was alright, it wasn’t as tough as I originally thought. I hung out with Cas for his
birthday today but i got all clammed up when his other friends got here. I’m really awkward around
people i barely know so I kinda just looked around a bit until they left?? The bike ride sucked because
it was so cold but I mean it wasn’t going to kill me or anything. Happy birthday, buddy.

Here’s an article about the subculture of Cosplay and the dedication and hard work that goes into it.
