Walk - Motion Graphics
Just a simple walk cycle I made a few days ago as part of my motion graphics practice. after effects is freakin awesome.
I deliberately choose ideas that are not too complex yet challenging enough that I learn something new while doing them. It's important to not get carried away and overburden yourself with stuff that you know you can't handle.
If you need to learn something new, keep a healthy balance between pushing yourself to learn more and giving yourself enough room to enjoy it. When you execute a simple idea from zero to finish, looking at the final result gives you even more motivation to continue on learning.
That's my tiny little secret behind learning new stuff, specially new software.
What do you think about this? Do you guys take a similar approach while learning?
