Being a self taught artist, I thought it'd be easy to be a self taught animator, turns out it is nowhere close to trivial, but is tough and frustrating! First Attempt: The Evolution Sequence... This was part of a larger video (which I edited out because if it's insignificance) and this sequence was the first scene in that vid
