1. Don't Wait, Just Start 2. Don't Go Big at start 3. Don't Be focused to a single Project but do that same project multiple times , repetition will make you Good in that field.

[@KeshArt]

You got the last one wrong ;) like very..

[@the_kid_01]

​@@KeshArt correct it pls 😂

[@shadowjuanpablo]

@@the_kid_01 Sorry about not writing in english, but you can transale my words: Creo que el tercer punto se trata de terminar los proyectos, de no esperar ser perfecto en cada uno de ellos, más bien de ser constante y TERMINAR cada uno de ellos, si pones demasiada energía en un solo proyecto, esperanzas y esfuerzos, te terminas decepcionando y no tendras energia para tus próximos proyectos. @kesh , THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, it really helps me to understand my process.

[@animatorFan74]

Yes, absolutely agree..... tackle many much smaller projects and you'll get gradually better over time rather than taking on one huge project all at once. Awesome advice and it works well. That being said, I'm taking on a big Blender project right now and can'y wait to finish it and get it out of the way. lol

[@KeshArt]

thats right! finished and out of the way, lets go!! :D

[@LemurFrenzy212]

I'm 29 and I literally just tried animating for the first time ever, just to try it because I love to draw and I'm full of ideas. This is really helpful. I honestly thought it was going to be more of 'Make sure timing is right to sound' ' Make sure you're animating on the correct frame' things like that. This was just actual advice about projects in general and it really does feel good to hear. Thank you Kesh! PS your Starfish animation is just adorable

[@KeshArt]

Thank you! Glad you find these useful:)

[@SunnySkidzzIris]

I recently started to make more and more animations. I want to make my own animated series based on my comic someday but, it’s going to be a LONG time from now. My record so far of making a small 10 second animation and lower is three hours. It usually takes me a day to complete about 10 seconds or lower. My work isn’t perfect but, I’m getting there!!

[@mofubunsart]

Same here! I wanted to have my own animated series one day ❤

[@mayacrystalstarmilla759]

Im currently working on my sketches :D

[@Fizzymoth]

me to! I wanna make an animated series aswell. I have one character out of the four I’ve made that I like. She’s very sweet.

[@ItsKatinasWorld]

Love this!!

[@harmankaur4840]

I REALLY needed to listen to this coz I am working on a project which is new and big one for me. I wasnt satisfied and then tried to simplify it more yet make it presentable and yes, I am still working on it. Your video encouraged me to keep going and not give up! Thank you :)

[@Marlyjade]

My 10 year old sister is wanting to learn how to animate. I will hopefully be running her through the basics soon. I think this will help her realize she's not going to be the best animator known to man after a single lesson, but that is no reason to not keep going. I want her to be better than me and start with better encouragement.

[@KeshArt]

This is awesome! You are a great role model for you lil sister

[@adorkablydeliciousdesigns7852]

This helps me a lot. I just started dedicating time to animating more than just little animated gifs, and just finished my first complete animation of an intro for a KZbin channel. I am happy to say that, apart from adding sound, I have finished the actual animation, which is more than I’ve ever done when focusing on my big projects in mind. And now because of the trial and error that went into the intro project, I have that much more experience under my belt, when I tackle my bigger projects in mind.

[@LightGameFrameworks]

I love that the hair is being blown around by the breeze in one shot, but the quality drops on the hair as the focus is shifted to the arm and the throw. It's a part of the story-telling, guiding where the audience should look. Also, you give great advice for people new to the field, I will try to follow it.

[@KABIGON4445]

Bro this is exactly what is happening with me right now, when I was little I read the story "THE LAST LEAF" and even as immature kid my brain was able to understand the story and I loved it. Then I decided that if I ever make animation I'm gonna make a short film about the story and that's where the problem comes, I'm dreaming big at the starting, instead of practicing little things , I'm going straight for the mount Everest. After watching this I've decided I'm gonna make the film in stickman version and later I'll do the upgraded version when I become much more experienced.

[@dorathyg3880]

I needed this, my plan was to start making short animations tomorrow and I was feeling overwhelmed. Thank you kesh

[@saipien]

This was so helpful - thank you for your insight Kesh!

[@jhunter1371]

I am on an animation journey as well. I find something interesting to create and create it and not judge it, because I know I am on the bottom step and want to get to the next floor. So I am learning how hi I need to lift my foot to take the next step to get closer to my goals. Stay strong and we will see each other at the top.

[@Derealstephen]

Please what app are you animating with and what app do you think he is animating with

[@jhunter1371]

@Steven Enebeli I use photoshop, Opentoonz, DaVencie Resolve, paper, and pencil. The other thing I can tell you is focus on one animation process at a time. For example I would focus on squash and stretch intill I feel comfortable the add in the next thing to learn. It takes time.

[@adarfrida]

The points in this video also apply to anything and everything we do, not just animation. :) Very inspirational. Thank you!

[@candiigurl7893]

Thanks for uploading this video! It's as simple and practical as the advice given in it. A lot more people needed to hear than you realized. 👍

[@BrinkleyComics]

I've recently entered the animation sphere and this speaks to me HARD. Great video, Kesh!

[@KeshArt]

Thats great! All the best for getting your MVP done :)

[@nanimacje]

Thanks for the video! I began to animate like a year ago, after couple of months I gave up on it and didn't make remarkable progress. When I returned I started dreaming big and it felt really overwhelming, like I had to prove something to myself, this made me rush things and cut corners, or give up when task grew too enormous. It is really motivating to see that big animators went through similiar process and succeeded eventually. I wish you all the best and keep up the good work! :3

[@KeshArt]

Thank you! Wish you the best as well!

[@EBTS-3]

Wow just Perfectly explained thank you !Especially the life of a project part at the end, I need some kind of poster like that to remind myself of the process and finally start finishing projects past the the *dark nights stage

[@tobiaschurch8848]

Kids, listen to this man. He knows what he is talking about. Tried getting an animation job. Tried 26 second animations for my reel and they came out bad, they sucked. Now my shorter animations inform my longer ones. The practice and failure on a 5 second shot is better for your mental health than a longer shot failing. Tried making my game without smaller projects under my belt, it's tough and so full of learning pot holes that my motivation is struggling to keep me going. With the creative field I think, start small. Many different small projects. Then that big project won't be a storm of learning setbacks and shitty results

[@KeshArt]

🙌🙌🙌

[@Ngr666Kong]

Thanks Bro. I needed that! So simple yet vital af. Every part.

[@TheArtsyPineapple]

I’m only 2 minutes into this video, and I was literally inspired. I’ve been wanting to write a comic for a long time, but I’ve never been good at coming up with interesting stories. After just 2 minutes of watching this, an entire short story came to my head and I just paused the video to write out what I think will be my very first comic! Thanks for that! 😂 I’m super excited! Thanks for this video!! 💕

[@KeshArt]

Thats awesome! Time to make the comic then! 😃

[@AwkwardAvii]

Good luck on ur comic!!

[@AlbertoGomez-oi5ou]

thanks for the advices, this is pure gold , it's never to late mi amigo

[@bojacksworldwideweb]

I started of trying to do animation, but then got discuraged and switched to programming intead, its been magnificent! I love it.

[@Tylerdavasel]

This is fantastic advice, though I have had to learn these things myself, maybe not as hard as you have. Man, it looks so awesome fun to work at your production company.

[@LeastLink]

Dude you are my inspiration ive made animations. My art style is maybe different but learned everything from you . Thank youu

[@Steve18795]

That cycle is the best I've seen. It is frighteningly accurate.

Thank you very much for this video

[@elronxxx1]

this was beautiful

[@SuperMedman1]

Very well said! I've experienced the same cycles of highs and lows when it comes to the creative process. Our minds see wonderful stories but our capacity to make them visible to others is way more difficult than it seems. I do see growth in my capacity to think and understand abstract concepts. It's hard to be a creative person but it can be wonderful too.

[@KeshArt]

Indeed! Greatly articulated:))

YOUR VIDEOS ARE GOLD 🥹💛 but THIS is the video that completely resonates with me now!!! I've been struggling seeing personal projects through until the end because of expecting to make it too big. What you said about finding the middle between something comfortable & out of comfort zone has convinced me that what I'm planning is the right move. THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤

[@KeshArt]

That's awesome! Incrementally hard projects are fairly less harder to tackle on

[@rellopodcast693]

I really appreciate the vid

[@Yahnart]

Currently going too big for my short film. Probably one of the rare instances I'm enjoying the process and haven't met with that major inconvenience you hit with any big project that leads to quiting. Seems to be going nicely actually. Maybe it isn't too big for my current level. Staying hopeful.

[@coralvlogs8340]

Thank you very much for this i am also working on my own project. This really helped ❤❤❤

[@namonai3604]

Hi Kesh, I wanted to ask if you have any animatons and comic book course planned in the future. I bought your 100 day camp course yesterday and would be happy if that could be an upcoming course from you. Thanks for your hard work

[@unraveledultimatefate]

Thanks for uploading, i'm giving it a look.

[@Astro33000]

Let’s be honest, he’s teaching a lot more than animation in this video😊

[@Vor567tez]

Thanks, this was valuable information.

[@crayonsaga]

As a beginner animator, I wish I knew that my art supplies might just be portals to parallel universes where my characters live out wild adventures and that the only way to get them back is by drawing their next epic quest!

[@gloudgaming3724]

Hey, do the animators record voices and sound effects first or they do animate first?

[@jaychauhan2276]

For The Animatics Purpose , Rough Sound recording is Necessary. So you get an idea , what is actually giving uh the Vibe that you are actually thinking

[@KeshArt]

Dialogues comes first :)

[@taylercarter3937]

In western animation dialogue comes first but for a lot of eastern animation they’ll animate first then record the dialogue after.

[@sahiru]

UH damn, the way he animates, more like the way he took the referances definitely makes me wanna make something. I do be doing Game design , but animation there in it, surely i will try to make something crisp, SO DO CHECK IT OUT, I am gonna be an art god so watch out people.

Brother, Lately, I feel like the biggest failure. I have studied animation is around 1 year or more and still have no animation produced because I try to pursue perfection. recently I thought that I didn't need perfection or a full animation story, all I needed just make a short animation and start to post it on social media then I found your video by mistake. That convinced me to start now and thanks to you brother, you encourage me from thinking everything is too late. 😊
