Progress on my first animated short, A Forbidden Love, is going well. I'm a little over 1/4 done with drawing, and then it will be on to sound and score. Considering it's ultimate length, I'll admit that the time spent so far feels a little too long, but I'm taking my time to make it look nice. When I am not at work or busy with other things, I am spending all my creative time drawing - so my other project is sitting by the wayside. Seeing as this is my first true foray into making a complete animated short, I'm giving myself that leniency, though. Over time, as I do more and more, I'm sure I'll be able to produce these much quicker. Regardless, I've been moving steadily along at a good pace - and even more importantly, I'm very happy with the results so far. And isn't that why we do this?
