It was fun to make my own animation put really time consuming. I’d like to collaborate with other colleagues in the company next time because it takes a lot of effort to do that. I also need to simplify my animation: Sometimes, less is more when it comes to animation. Simplifying movements and using fewer frames can help animation look more natural.
Pay attention to timing: Timing is crucial in animation. I must make sure that movements are timed correctly and that there is a natural flow to the animation. Also editing is quite important to be look more natural so I also learn there is some symbolic meaning, or I must find something that I have to simply know for whom will want to direct in the future.
At this moment, mostly I was only do my self-study but next time I need to seek feedback: Getting feedback from others can help me improve my animation skills. I was quite shy to show my animation to others now but I really need to show my work to friends or colleagues who have experience in animation and ask for their feedback.
For my webtoon, it was my first trial to create my own cartoons in the web. That experience was worthy, and I’d love to upload about my stories in the future. By this contest, I realized that deadline is really important, and I need to make all the stories to be shorten, very simple. Also, there are so many people who trying to make their own story in the website.
Creating animation takes time and practice, so don't be too hard on myself if I’m not happy with my work at first. I should keep working at it and experimenting with different techniques until I could find a style that works.
I am happy about found a convenient tool for drawing my webtoon and that I am able to use Premier Pro for your video editing.
I also read a book about how to make story more interesting – Pixar story telling book. In the future, I want to more focus on the story. It’s because webtoon is ultimately about telling a story, so make sure that the story is engaging and well-written. Consider the pacing, character development, and plot twists to keep my viewers interested.
Additionally, I have to use more dynamic visuals. Webtoons are a visual medium, so use dynamic visuals to keep my viewers engaged. Consider using different camera angles, panel layouts, and colour schemes to create a unique and visually appealing style.
There are many artists who are engage with viewers. I create a webtoon account on Instagram and in the future, I also want to Interact with my viewers and ask for their feedback on my work. This can help me improve my webtoon and create a community of loyal fans.
Lastly, I need to promote webtoon. I am a youtuber and heavy uploader in Instagram so I will promote webtoon through social media, forums, and other channels to attract more viewers. Furthermore, in the future, I am considering partnering with other creators or influencers to help promote my work. Participate in contests is really helpful to improve my skill and give me a lot of tense, I loved that feeling. Participating in any other artistic fair as well in the future so I’d like to expand my experience about my art life and community of those who are working with.
