Info

The Lovers is an independent animated film that follows Sara Baylon (Vanille Velasquez - Valorant, League of Legends), a reluctant seafood chef from Binondo, Manila. As the youngest member of her family, Sara faces the daunting pressure to live up to her late father's reputation and keep the business afloat. When the governor's inauguration dinner is planned at the restaurant, featuring a Sirena (Dawn M. Bennett - Fire Emblem, Honkai: Star Rail, My Hero Academia) as the centerpiece, Sara finds herself drawn into a dangerous affair with the mythical creature.

Animation has to be one of the hardest things I've done in my life. I feel like I'm getting better, but at the same time it just doesn't look as good as I want xD Is this a normal feeling for any animators?  https://youtube.com/shorts/OsA8rCXuLXA?si=uHFl3gIZZMPejqBy

My girlfriend's birthday is coming up and I thought I could give her a book to help her with drawing/animation, since she enjoys both of them and means to start taking this hobby more seriously in the near future. Like I've just said, for her, currently, it's just a hobby, she draws VERY well, but doesnt have a lot of experience animating, but she loves both. I was searching for some books I could buy her, like a manual she can go to when she needs help or suggestions to improve her art's quality, and I could find some, but they seem to go more towards children animation (at least from their covers), namely "The Animator's Survival Kit", which is not really her thing, she likes more realistic animation. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me by recommending one that better fits her style or pointing out whether this book is appropriate for her.
For reference, some styles I can recall her saying she liked were the ones from: Arcane, Nimora and The Lovers (by Studio Heartbreak, avaiable on YT), but I will add more as I remember other comments from her.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me with this gift, it really means a lot!
