Im tellin you this because I think Ive been keepin myself back for too long by puttin too much pressure on myself and letting all the fear and worry keep me from actually DOIN anything. Using lame excuses to hide my true potential from me. Im tellin you this because I need to wake up and take my steps. Embrace the fear and uncertainty and get back to the real reason I draw and create. For the shear love of it. For the happiness that it fills me with. The ability it gives me to shed light on the areas of my mind that are dark and painful. To grow to be the person I know I am...
It IS WHO I am.
I tell you this because I need to put it out there and believe that I not only can but WILL do this.
I tell you this because you understand what Im saying....I do this because doin is the fastest way to get there.
So studying some action sequences from this short: kung fu cooking girls ( this is how Id like to I will animate one day.)
and drawing of my hands. Have a great weekend!
Keep on keepin on

You easily have the drawing skills to animate Mel! It surprises me to hear that you have doubted that. I'm glad you're giving yourself a good talking-to though, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you produce!
:)
Aw maaaaan! I hear you. I hear you SO well!
Keep it up! I beg of you.
And MAN I love your blue pencil sketches. Such movement and dynamism. Makes me want to be a better artist.
Wicked hands too!
Well, now you've said it so I will expect to see some animation soon. It doesn't even have to be good, just one step toward your goal. By the way, I've followed your blog for a while and even have some of your drawings come up on my screensaver. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hey Mel! Thx for your very helpful answer you gave me in your last Post.
..and Listen to your Heart on what you doing. You are a awesome Illustrator, Creative man and Animator as well. But Do it!
Thats why i Follow your Blog! :-)))
Great studies Mel! They are beautiful and pretty expressive.
Every artist knows that struggle.
Its been years since I´ve animated and know I too make excuses ( like what program to use and so on )
I will begin as well.
And great work bye the way
incredible dynamism in your drawings bro. So so good. You know you can do it, quit psyching yourself out! haha :) I only say that for selfish reasons. So we can see what you really can do!!!! haha You inspire me Melman!
I'm in a similar place... except that I don't draw as well as you by a mile.
I've been "meaning" to animate my character for months. But I keep finding excuses not to.
So you've inspired me. I'll get to work on my animation too.
As an classical animator from way back, I only wish I could draw with your expression and dynamic posing. HAVE AT HER MEL!! You'll only amaze yourself and see what everyone else sees in you!!
Mel, you're an inspiration. I can totally relate to what you're saying. What I love about your drawings is the movement, energy and excitement. If I could get a little bit of that in my drawings I'd be a happy man. I say go for it. Do what you love and make animation. I know you'll do great things!
I like this web blog very much so much excellent info.
