So, I've been trying to learn the basics of animation for a bit, like the 12 principles and just really get the hang of it yknow? Really hammer in how animation works in my brain so I can start trying more complex animation.

But I also don't really have the time to draw on my iPad, and idk how blender works yet, so something I've started doing (mostly out of boredom) is using the corners of my notebooks or just any stack of paper to practice the basics. Like just lil bouncy ball, or a Stickfigure doing a lil twirl, etc.

It's far from new or inventive but I found it to be a pretty fun way to practice, and since it's a corner of a page and you have to draw small you really have to simplify things and just focus on the movement instead of the details. Idk I think drawing on paper also makes me less likely to undo stuff, which was an issue with digital.
