Bird flight 2D

One of the (many) big challenges at the moment, is understanding what things look like at different angles, which was part of animating these wings. I would have loved to have made this more beautiful and added more feathers and details, but I'm just not at that level yet. I'm glad I didn't try because getting the basic movement down like this is the foundations and the most important, and then it can be added on. I find it really interesting that theres such a massive library of skills to have, and with animation I can't say 'I can do a bird flight' because I've only shown I can, at one angle with a non-scientific bird, with a certain speed and style of flap. Theres unlimited ways of doing this exercise, and what an animation could demand of you. I'd love to do a hundred more all different, if there was enough time, just to really understand it so I know I could apply myself to any flight asked.
