Mordoma Maria João Afonso Lima - Romaria de Nossa Senhora d'Agonia 2022

«Entre sombras misteriosas, Em rompendo ao longe estrelas, Trocaremos nossas rosas, Para depois esquecê-las. Se o meu sangue não me engana, Como engana a fantasia, Havemos de ir a Viana, Ó meu amor de algum dia. (...)»

«Another year has passed, and so much has changed. Sometimes we need to stop for a moment and look back at all the things that we have achieved so far. It's so easy to forget. Never forget to celebrate all of your achievements, no matter how small they may seem. They are yours, and they are part of your personal journey as a person. No one has the same timing for everything in life. You will get there.»

Warning: This artwork does not belong to me. Only the animation has been done by me. Unfortunately, after a lot of research I still couldn't find the artist. If by chance you know who the original artist is, please let me know!

Hi!! Your art is amazing, I love it so much!!!! Ur animation especially is just. 10/10. I was wondering though...what program do you use? I've been trying to get into animation and I figure the best way to find a program is to ask an animator ❤️

Hello !  ❤️

Thank you so much for your kind words !

When I started animating, I used to do it traditonally on paper. 

Nowadays, I use Photoshop for drawing and coloring every frame of the animation. After that, I assemble everything in After Effects, decide the timing for each frame, and render the animation. I also use After Effects for some visual effects (for example, the fireflies on the “Sky: Children of the Light & Journey” animation). 

It’s important to mention that you don’t have to use these software exactly, there are other free software you can use ! For example, you can try Blender (which is free !) that enables you to do 3D animation and modeling, as well as 2D animation (using Grease Pencil), in the same software ! 

As for animation itself, there are tons of animation techniques and styles, it depends on what you are aiming for and your preferences ! (eg: for movies, videogames,...)

To begin with, i recommend you learn the fundamentals of animation and practice them, doing some exercises (on paper or on the computer), as you can see in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDqjIdI4bF4 . If you are interested in 3D then i highly recommend Blender, and Blender Guru’s tutorials ! I also recommend taking a look at the book “The Animator's Survival Kit” by Richard Williams ! :)

And most importantly, if things don’t turn out as expected in the first tries, don’t give up and keep practicing !

Feel free to reach out to me anytime  ❤️
