1, painting practice
For such a practical course of animation major, the first and most important thing is painting practice. It can be said that practice makes perfect, and it is absolutely impossible not to invest a lot of practice in painting. My school has an animation major, and I have had contact with them. For some students whose painting foundation is not very good, they even have to paint until late at night in the early days, just to increase their painting proficiency. So for some students who don't work very hard but want to apply for this major, they must be psychologically prepared in advance.
2. Watch a lot of cartoons for inspiration.
Perhaps this is simply a kind of welfare for those enthusiasts who are keen on animation. Yes, another requirement of studying animation major is to watch a lot of animations. Only when students watch a lot of cartoons can they be inspired to create excellent cartoons.
3. Software learning
In addition, software learning is also very important for students majoring in animation. Like PS, 3D? Students majoring in software animation such as MAX must master it, otherwise it will affect their future employment. Therefore, for students majoring in animation, software learning is also essential.
That's my answer, I hope I can help you!
