Loona animation WIP! Learning something new!

So For last 1-2 weeks I was spending 90 % of my time ( Literally..except sleeping ) on a PC learning Blender from absolute zero. And it was terrible at the beginning. Mistake after mistake and hours every day learning and solving mistakes I made having almost zero knowledge about working in programs that provide you more tools than just a pen and a canvas.

I was doing some simple animations and learning how to work with 2D Frame by Frame animation in 3D..And it turned out ... So much fun I should say! I see so much possibilities in it and it is really inspiring. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to work in 2d frame by frame animation style because this is the way I like to animate.. But from now I want to go further and put my 2D animations in to 3D environments I built.

This animated sketch is going to be finished and it kind of represents the idea I have. As you can see the character is 2D and also the background and part of the surroundings is 2D too. Those are actually flat and won't work from another camera angle ( Take a look at the attached screenshot at the bottom of the post ) The car and the road surface are 3d objects I made and textured ( Car is in 3D because it's cool and the ground is a flat 3d object because I want to see the shadow on it from the light source . For some reason flat Grease pencil objects are transparent for shadows and I'm trying to find out how to solve this ) So yeah.. I don't usually write that much but it is...VERY INSPIRING!

This animation will be done this month and also I got a Vimeo subscription now so I will post my videos here right on the Patreon page without any links and I think it is just more convenient.

Thank you for your attention and support. During moments like this I feel myself as a happy man creating things that I love and interested in and it is all because of you guys and your support. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
