I know it sounds dramatic, and i know it probably is, but I've been so frustrated in my journey to learn animation so far that I'm questioning if I'm even good enough for it.
I'm a freshman at a semi-decent private art school, and to be fair I've had a hell of a year dealing with issues unrelated to animation or even school which really hindered my progress and my ability to do well. But with that said, I still feel like not only have I not put enough effort in but that I don't know exactly how to put that effort in and if I'm doing things right. It's really frustrating.
For me, I feel like I'm struggling to grasp even how to animate. In most of my classes teachers will show us some slideshow of a principle or a subject to animate and then basically just tell us to go at it on adobe animate. But my issue is that I don't know where to place the frames, how to space them apart, I don't understand timing whatsoever, and I struggle to make things look like they're moving cohesively. There's so much more I could go on about how i don't understand what changes to make in the next inbetween, key pose, etc, etc...
I also feel so frustrated with wanting to do more with my animation, wanting to be like the industry professionals and more experienced people. I want to experiment with more complicated animation, perspective, effects, and eventually be able to make something that looks like out of a tv show.
But with where i'm at and with how little I feel like I'm learning, I don't know what to do. Sometimes i just stare at that empty key frame and freeze up.
I don't know what to do to practice, and to not only practice to get better but also actually understand what I'm doing.
