Some changes I made to my submission after watching this. Also a PSA: I feel this needs to be said. WD40 isn't a lubricant. Yes, it is an oil. Yes, things do stop squeaking. BUT! WD stands for Water Displacement and is a penetrating oil. It's meant to force water out of places it shouldn't be, like the nuts rusted to the bolt on your bike that won't turn. Spray it on and wait a while and it will turn! You use it to free up seized up pieces that should move like a rusted hinge. It also strips heavier oils away, cleaning out oils that probably should be there, making it worse long term. What you want is 3-in-1 oil or some light lubricating oil. For things like ball-bearings in the wheels you'd use a light grease. WD40 would strip the grease already in the casing and you'd end up constantly spraying WD40 in to clear out and then when that evaporated they'd seize up again. Okay. I'm sorry, I just had to say something.

NGL, I am intimidated by this project. I don't know why, but I am. Maybe it's the subject matter. with the complex plane changes and subtle variations in tone. Maybe it's wanting to make good design choices and knowing I still struggle with that. But at the end of the day, no guts, no glory, right? Gotta jump in an have a little courage to fail at the least perilous thing I can do today: draw. Stay safe my LA peeps.

At the end of the day it's just a drawing! Jump in there and have fun.
