Asked for help
Hi! My name is Delilah, I'm 21 years old. I'm currently a self-taught artist doing freelance and I am a college drop-out (the school wasn't right for me). Right now I'm making turnarounds for other people. My goal is to make my own shows/games/comics or something. I don't know how to progress on my own, but I'm teaching myself how to animate and will hopefully start producing some really short films, maybe that will help me find a path. I don't know what I could improve or practice on, or how to advance.
Hello Delilah!
I love animation and use it for my inspiration too! I really like your work and it makes me smile when I look at it! Also, you have a lot more work to show than I do. Bravo!
A few of my initial thoughts on your work:
The squinting character is super cool! I wish I could see what he's looking at. The ballroom dancing mice read well with the triangular composition and are super-duper adorable. The frog character, Dart, has a fun design and color combo! I think that overall your linework is nice too! Very clean. You must spend a lot of time "polishing". ;) Your layout for your pieces are very nice, but I noticed that the dinosaur character lineup could be rearranged to establish a bit more of a "flow".
You've got thiiiiiis!
I know you mentioned that you did these for others, but I would also like to see some of your characters as well. What type of animation is your favorite to watch?
Idea:
Try making something for each phase of a small independent production cycle (like a super short animation or a small make believe videogame concept) and see which part feels most natural to you as a visual storyteller.
Keep sharing your work and get your stuff out there,
I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future! :)

Hi Delilah!
From your collection of work, it appears that you have a lovely assortment of skills and styles. I may be speculating, but it seems to me that from what you've written, you're yearning for something "more," and are searching for your artists' voice. And it seems like you've come across animating to help breathe life back into that voice. To me, you sound like a storyteller.
Just like you've learned the fundamentals of drawing, you may find yourself inspired by immersing yourself in the fundamentals of the medium you wish to pursue. (What is the "anatomy" of a comic? What makes a player love a game? What are the parts that make up a story?) And even more personally, a lot of soul-searching: "What do I love about this specific game/comic/show?" What YOU are excited about, chances are someone else will be, too.
I wish I had more to offer you in terms of your personal journey and discovery, but if it is of any help, your array of work and skills is strong. If your goals were to continue on to find more variety of freelance work or work at a studio, I feel that you have the skills to do so. I hope this helps you in some small way, and I wish you the best of luck :)
