Sure there’s been the pain of a split sternum, but I actually feel like I’ve got off very lightly, as if escaping some kind of punishment. I guess that’s mostly because I sit in a chair drawing pictures for a living, and I can do that whatever the weather, whatever my health.
The FX course is doing well with 217 members. All course participants start at Week 1, with a new article/lesson coming every week thereafter. Work I’ve been working on a lot of things.

Characters with bright, happy dispositions are usually light-footed and bouncy, spending more time up in the air than down. Sad depressed characters will plod along with the weight of the world upon their shoulders spending most of their time close to the ground.

Animated characters can walk about a third faster than real life humans and yet still look quite normal so 8-16 drawings will be sufficient unless your character is particularly lethargic. Bringing something to 'life' by yourself is one of the biggest creative thrills going.
So, get up off your chair and walk, run, skip, or hop around the studio. Does your character have a limp? Think of props like umbrellas, hats and bags crutches, walking sticks which might make your cycle richer and more interesting to look at.
