To answer your question, I ask you a question (reverse uno card) : Have you done any animation for yourself? Like, when you have free time and you just wanna animate sth for the sake of animation, outside of industry requirements. Cuz that's when you can be free and experiment with the kinda animation you wanna try out. The things you produce for the company and the things you produce for yourself. The main thing you wanna do here is to remind yourself why you took up animation in the first place. Most probably, you got inspired in your earlier days and when you actually had the first experience of making an animation, it must've been fun. Forgive me if I'm assuming, but I assume that's why you took up animation in the first place. Of course, not to reject the desk job animation cuz I mean, how else will you pay for those delicious po– I mean food, water and all such necessities. I'd say, take a break from it, and once you're ready, try to rediscover animation. What got you into animation? Maybe you could start there. And if you have video recording software which records whatever is on your phone screen and/or monitor, then maybe you could record some key scenes from a cartoon/movie/anime whose animations have inspired you. Or if not even just collecting the links to all those scenes can do. Maybe you got fascinated when you saw the drawings that're done, the key poses, secondary n tertiary poses (not sure if I got the terms right, but oh well). Maybe you liked how they looked together and got interested. Hell, maybe whatever that motivates you is outside the field of animation. Point being, try going back to that source of motivation. If it's art, maybe you can print those artworks and put it up your wall (posters would be better, but hey, whatever gets u going ) Hope this helps✌🏽
