1. Jumping straight into complex animations

I know you want to animate full scenes, characters, immediately.
Slow down.
Without mastering the basics like timing, motion, and simple movements, the results become frustrating. Master the foundations and build up from there.

2️⃣ Skipping the planning phase

Great animation start before it gets to screen, this is the planning phase.

This includes storyboards, references, and blocking. This help you organize your time. When you skip planning, you waste time fixing mistakes later. Plan first and animate better.

3️⃣ Giving up too quickly

Animation takes patience. Your first animations won’t be perfect, heck they’ll barely look good, and that’s okay. Every great animator started as a beginner. Consistency, practice, and trying again is what makes you better. Keep going. You’ll get there.
