Hello Sheezers ITS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR!!
It's AniMayPril! A 2 month challenge that indeed challenges you to step outside your comfort zone and step into the realm of making your lovely art move and groove!
Animation is near and dear to my heart and for many of us here at Sheezy so keep an eye on the rewards this time around because we have some special perks this time around ;)
NOW onto more information about the
SHEEZY MONTHLY ART CHALLENGE!! 🎨
This time around I took the liberty to prepare a bit of a resource for people who have no idea where to start in terms of free programs or what things you need to know to start animating, something I started preparing about a year ago and admittedly its still not 100% done BUT all the information text wise should be there and links and example images will be added when I have the time and energy to do so, so please check out my Guide to Animation for Broke Beginners
Don't forget to tag your artwork #SheezAprMay26, you will need to place this on the post you wish to submit in order to get the chance to win our amazing prizes and get the nifty participation badge.
This AnimMAYPRIL theme is:

I don't consider myself much of a bookwyrm, but I do like looking at pretty artbooks, so much that I think I look at art more than I make it. I guess I better start getting into gear and KEEP ARTING!
