I'm nearing the end of animation which is exciting seeing I've been working at it since the beginning of June! Though at that time I was taking things in a more laid back fashion and would pat my own back about completing 24 frames of simple animation in a day . .
I bought Betty Edwards' "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" a few weeks back and have been reading bits of that in between drawing. She comments that
". . . draw everyday . . . In a way, art is like athletics: If you don't practice, the visual sense quickly gets flabby and out of shape."
I've been finding that truer as I progress with my animation. My benchmark for "challenging" keeps rising . . which is good. I don't know where my efforts truely fit in the scheme of things, but I find myself becoming a stronger drawer . . if they're the right words.
Anyway, back to work. I've given myself the 10th of October as a deadline for animation. Frustratingly, as a solo artist on this project I have to take care of post production too . . grr. Not my strength at all!

Wow, good luck! I'm sure you can do it. Like I said, you're a hell of a lot more organised than me!! XP
Thanks Al . . I'm not sure that I'm that much better organised, but yeah . . I think I'm mostly motivated by NOT wanting to replicate last year's due date. I went about 40 hours without rest and by the end of it I was bordering some crazy person.
wow, good luck!!! You're almost there =D
Good god.. I felt like I didn't draw anything since after Uni =.=...and it's been like a year XD
