Okay, this is a little more promising. I'd not yet learned how to build a character up from basic shapes the way the animators do it, so I was faking it as best I could; and I had come up with a few tricks that let me pull off the illusion okay. Plus I think I got lucky with a few of these faces and postures, if not with things like balance and anatomy. But whatever the story, this picture and the next few pumped up my ego enough to keep me feeling pretentious and ambitious, so I kept going. I guess that's the secret: trick yourself into persevering. Huh? Huh?
