ā¤ļø I animated a Run up the stairs. It was initially supposed to be part of a longer animated short but fortunately/ unfortunately Iā€™ve found myself incredibly busy working on other projects. I hope to finish this eventually, Iā€™ve already done all the rough animation for it. I hope you guys like it and if you want to watch the full process video, you can now watch it on my website datapepple.com or on YouTube! Also, if you go to YouTube, kindly subscribe to my channel, I canā€™t promise any proper proper content for the next month (probably just going to be posting timelapses), but I intend on starting tutorials in June šŸ˜„. I have my lesson plans written down, all iā€™s are dotted and all tā€™s are crossed, itā€™s just a matter of making time to make these, and I feel I will be less occupied in June! Anyway, chatted your ear off, have a great weekend, and stay safe āœØšŸ˜† #2danimation #procreateanimation #animation #procreate #handdrawnanimation #art
