      your ball example is actually wrong, if you gonna smear it that much you have to also reduce the volume of it otherwise it looks off

      @@jokesterthemighty227 Smearing is different with Squash and Stretch isn't it? smearing act as a motion blur, while S&S act as force and material indicator.

    So you are getting paid to do this, right? This video will blow up, right? You are gonna get many more subs, right? Because holy shit, this video is S tier. The presentation was smooth, fast but not too fast, attractive, informative, and over all amazing visuals. If I were a game designer, you’d be my first pick for a partner!

    Amazing presentation, points delivered with a unique art style. So happy I got to watch the premier and interact!
    The early example of the extra axe frames are very important, education-wise.
    As some viewers have mentioned, the audio was sometimes masked via the background music. That is always been an issue with headphones and youtube, of getting it just right. I have to see in your example, it kind of fitted the theme of being in a forest and listening to the water and birds, good workaround!
    Your work is inspiring and a case study.
    Thanks for sharing!
    Watching again and again.
    Also, I am envious of those trees.

    More so than the amazing content explained in the voiceover, I found myself pausing the video again and again just to stare at the gorgeous hand drawn scenery in awe. Admiring all the little details and colour choices, and making note for next time I'm behind the drawing pad as well. The value and inspiration this video brought me is unbelievable. 10/10, one of the few creators I'll ever press the notification bell for.
