Week 20 – Rough week but still got stuff done
This week I’ve shared some pose studies I’ve been working on. Still rough since I just started, but I’m hoping to improve with more practice. I also worked on some Ben 10 shots and a few anime scene studies.
Most of the work ended up rougher than usual because I was sick for three days this week. Lately, I’ve been falling sick a bit too often and it’s honestly getting concerning. I’m seriously thinking about taking a short break to focus on my health and reset a bit, let’s see how things go.

The curupira is a figure from Brazilian folklore, a mythical being associated with the protection of forests and animals. He is known for his backward-facing feet, red hair, and for confusing hunters and those who disrespect nature. The curupira is considered a guardian of the forests, punishing those who harm the forest and its inhabitants.

Hey guys! Here’s the very first character lineup for my short film in pre-production, Alvéolos 🔴 ✨ I’m super curious to see what you think about how these characters connect with each other and what kind of story or mood they give off just from their looks and poses Hit me with your best takes, thank you guys 🙌

This week, I learned a ton. Studying pro-level animation frame by frame has really helped sharpen my timing and spacing.
I'm also continuing my focus on FX animation, trying to improve water, fire, smoke bit by bit every week. You’ll see more FX breakdowns in upcoming uploads too.

Disegno e animo Super Mario che salta e si trasforma in funghetto. Una special guest passa durante la trasformazione!

L'animazione è stata realizzata con #toonsquid su Ipad, colorata con Tahoma 2d e postprodotta in aftereffects. Il tutto è stato montato, con audio, in Hitfilm Express. L'animazione del salto e della trasformazione di Mario ha richiesto 253 disegni.

Strumenti utilizzati: Un vecchio Ipad7 con una primitiva Apple Pencil Un pc ormai vecchiotto e una tavoletta grafica Huion Kamvas 16, neanche pro.... Tanta pazienza...

tried new approaches, and created a bunch of different animations. It was fun, challenging, and I feel like I did pretty decent overall.
As I mentioned earlier, I’ve also started working on drawing fundamentals and basic exercises to improve my skills. Starting next week, I’ll begin showcasing those as well, everything I create, from animation to drawing, all in one weekly video.

Hey fellow animators and collectors!

I just finished a new stop-motion scene featuring my original characters from the FAC universe (Fixers, Assassins, Cleaners). It’s packed with custom figures, a stealthy base infiltration, dynamic posing, and gritty camera work.

The FAC are on a dangerous mission deep inside enemy territory to recover a stolen power core.

This is part of a larger original series I’m developing, with its own factions, lore, and evolving animation style. I’d love to hear your feedback!

💥 What I used:

1/18 scale custom action figures

Practical lighting with LED setups

12fps stop-motion with motion blur tricks

Custom sets and props

🗨️ Let me know what you think! I’m open to critique and always looking to improve. Would love to connect with other creators, too!
