I have no images to post although I'm creating many many these days. I'm too busy to make a diary-a at the moment. I'll probably get back into one/day at some point, but for now I'll try an image / week.
Hand-drawn (classical) animation is very rewarding. If you don't do pencil tests (which I don't always do), it's like developing film - you just make that shit up and scan that shit and what you get is what you get.
Although I would never make smoke as complex as this again.
